Blanket Crochet Patterns

One of my personal favorite things to crochet are blankets!  Most blanket patterns are made from a combination of basic crochet stitches like single crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches and double crochet stitches.  

If a big blanket doesn’t seem doable as a beginner, then make a smaller baby blanket, they make for great gifts too!  If you enjoy working on a larger project, then you will enjoy crocheting a blanket.

Cup & Ice Cream Cozy Patterns

Sometimes smaller projects like cup cozies make for great stash busting projects.  It just takes a small amount of yarn to make a cup or ice cream cozy.  I always love to use cotton yarn for my cozies!  

A lot of times I like to work on small projects when I take breaks from a large project because it can give me a sense of accomplishment when it takes so long to finish big things, and these cozies are perfect for that!
