Quick and Easy Crochet Hat

ne of the first things I learned to crochet was a hat because it was super simple! Over the years I have looked at different patterns, both knitting and crocheting and found out what pattern works best for me. That's because I wrote it! I like using yarns that change colors as you go which is why I have chosen a Caron Tea Cake because the yarn is different throughout! Lastly, I love having a rib on my hat so we are going to be working towards making a hat with a rib on it, and it is much easier than you think!

Basic Crochet Stitches

The most response that I have gotten about what DIYs people wanted for this time off was crocheting. Most people who know me, know that I am either constantly crocheting or constantly with a crochet hook. I taught myself to crochet when I was about 13. My mom was and still is an amazing crocheter and I always would watch her hands make these amazing and super large blankets for most of my life. I learned by watching my moms hands move through the process.

DIY Crochet Rainbow Pillow

Have you ever had a pillow in your house that you loved but it just did not look right anymore? Maybe it got all flattened at or the color started fading. You know you have to get rid of it but you love it so much you struggle to get rid of it because you love it so. Or maybe you have no pillows on your couch or you bed and you need more?
