Easy Crochet Gift Bag Pattern Tutorial

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

I cannot believe that Christmas is just around the corner.  Yep, I said it, Christmas is almost here!  I have no idea where the year went!  Every year I try and make something homemade for each person in my family.  Sometimes I make blankets (depending on how far in advance I plan ahead), scarves, or hats.  This year I thought it would be cute to make crochet Christmas gift bags to put my handmade gifts in.  I didn’t realize that they would be such a big hit.  Every person that I gifted these crochet Christmas gift bags to loved them. 

That said I hope that you enjoy making these crochet Christmas gift bags as well.  The fun part with these crochet gift bags is you can make them in any color and for any occasion.  

You can purchase a AD FREE PDF version of this Crochet Christmas Gift Bag Pattern in my Etsy store.

If you prefer to follow along via video you can do so down below by watching my tutorial on YouTube. While you are there don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

Materials needed for this crochet Christmas gift bag:

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn in the colors of your choice will do.  I used red heart super saver in the colors spring green and white.  1 Skein of each color will make many crochet gift baskets this size. You can purchase these items in the highlighted links.

Crochet hook:  5mm crochet hook.  I really have been in love with the crochet hooks with the silicone handles lately.  I love how comfortable they are in my hand while crocheting.  You can purchase this crochet hook in the highlighted link.

Craft scissors:  Any pair of scissors that you have on hand will work.  I always use the smaller 4” craft scissors because they fit nicely in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase a pair in the highlighted link.

Yarn needle:  Any yarn needle that you have on hand is fine.  I love the metal yarn needles, I feel like they weave through the yarn much easier than plastic ones. You can purchase a set in the highlighted link.

Abbreviations:  CH (chain), MC (magic circle), SC (single crochet), SLST (slip stitch), BLO (back loop only)

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner

Gift bag size:  4” x 5.5”

Pattern written in US terms

Note:  If you want to make larger gift bags all you need to do is continue with alternating the increase round and the non increase round on the bottom until you have the width that you want for the gift bag.  Play around with different weights of yarn as well, this will make your gift bags unique and much larger or smaller.  Just remember to use the coordinating crochet hook size for the yarn you are using.

Lately I either watch Amazon Prime while I am crocheting or I throw my ear pods in and listen to a book on Audible. If you don’t have either one of them you can check them out in the highlighted links. Right now Amazon is offering a discount on Prime and Audible is offering a free 30 day trial so it is definitely worth taking a look.

Now let’s get started on this fun crochet gift bag!

Bottom of the crochet gift bag:

Round 1:  With Green Yarn, create a MC (magic circle), place 8 SC (single crochet) inside the MC.  Pull the tail tight to close the MC.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first SC, CH (chain) 1.  At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 8 SC. 

Round 2:  Place 2 SC in the CH 1 space.  Next, place 2 SC in every stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of round 2 you should have a total of 16 SC.  

Round 3:  SC in the CH 1 space.  Now place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 SC in the first stitch, 2 SC in the next stitch* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of round 3 you should have a total of 24 SC.

Round 4:  Place 1 SC in the CH 1 space.  Next, place 1 SC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of round 4 you should still have a total of 24 SC.

Round 5:  Place 1 SC in the CH 1 space.  Now, place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 SC in the first stitch and 2 SC in the next stitch* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of round 5 you should have 36 SC.

Round 6:  Place 1 SC in the CH 1 space.  Next, place 1 SC in each stitch all the way round.  SLST to the top of the very first SC, CH 1.  At the end of round 6 you should still have 36 SC.

Round 7:  Working in the BLO (back loops only), SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  You should still have a total of 36 SC.  Note:  By working in the back loops of the stitches you are creating a ridge at the base of the crochet gift bag that will be the bottom.  

Now for the crochet gift bag body: 

Rounds 1-9:  Keeping the green yarn, SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of each round you should still have 36 SC.  Change to your white yarn.

Rounds 10-14:  With your white yarn, SC in the CH 1 Space (or where you attached the white yarn) and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of each round you should still have a total of 36 SC.  Change back to your green yarn.

Rounds 15-16:  With your green yarn, SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way round.  SLST to the top of the first SC, CH 1.  At the end of each round you should still have 36 SC.  

For the Draw String:

Cut a piece of white yarn ( or what ever color of yarn you are using) long enough to wrap around the crochet Christmas gift bag and tie in a bow.  Thread your yarn through your yarn needle and start weaving your yarn around the crochet Christmas gift bag in the area where the contrasting color is.  Mark the middle of your crochet Christmas gift bag with either a piece of yarn or a stitch marker and move 3 stitches to the right.  This is where I like to start weaving my yarn through the layer of the gift bag.  I skip about 3 stitches in between where I move from outside to the the inside ( I hope this makes sense).  Now continue weaving your draw string all the way around until you are  3 stitches from your stitch marker.  This is where I like to stop.  You can now either pull your string tight and tie in a bow or add a decorative button to the end of the draw string and then tie in a bow.  

That is it.  This crochet Christmas gift bag is super easy to make and can be made in so many different sizes and colors.  It will definitely make your gifts stand out from the rest.  I hope you all enjoy making this crochet Christmas gift bag as much as I did.  Since it is Christmas season you should also check out my post for the dusty rose beanie and scarf set. It is such a beautiful set and would make a fantastic gift. Make sure you check out my social media pages and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog post. I have a ton of really cute and fun projects coming up. I love you all so very much. Happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!

DIY Crochet Snowman Gift Tags Tutorial

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

Well Hello to all of you!  Christmas season is already upon us.  We have a new grand baby this year and I know he is going to be spoiled rotten for Christmas.  I decided that this year I was going to make crochet snowman gift tags for his gifts.  I think it is a really cute idea to make his gifts stand out from everyone else’s.  I don’t think he will really know what is going on because he will only be about 6 months old but I still want his gifts to be really special.  I think this snowman gift tag will do just that.  

Hand-crocheted snowman ornament with black buttons, an orange carrot nose, and a green scarf, hanging from a black and white checked ribbon.

This Snowman Gift Tag would also be really cute as a Christmas ornament for you tree or you could even string them together for a really cute garland to hang over your fireplace or along your banister.  

Here are a few things you need to know before starting your crochet snowman gift tag.  

Pattern written in US terms.

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner friendly

Abbreviations:  CH (chain), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), SLST (slip stitch), MC (magic circle)

Note:  You can use ribbon for the scarf if you prefer not to crochet a scarf for your snowman gift tag.  Decorative ribbon would be really cute.  I also recommend using a hot glue gun to attach the eyes to your snowman gift tag.  The eyes are pretty small and can be a little fiddly to attach with a yarn needle.

If you really like what you see hit that join button for early access to all my videos before they go live. You can also purchase an add free PDF Version of this Crochet Snowman Gift Tag in the highlighted link.

I think this snowman gift tag turned out super cute!

Here are the items you will need to make this crochet snowman gift tag

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn will do.  I used red heart super saver in the colors black, orange, hunter green, and white.  You will need small amounts of all of these colors.  

Crochet hook:  5mm and 2.5mm.  You will need the 5mm crochet hook for the body and the scarf.  The 2.5mm hook is for the eyes.

Yarn needle:  Any yarn needle you have on hand will work.  Just make sure the eye is large enough to fit your yarn through it.  I like using metal yarn needles.  I feel like they weave through the yarn much easier than the plastic ones do.

Scissors:  Any pair of scissors you have on hand will do.  I like using the smaller craft scissors because I can tuck them away in my crochet hook bag.  

Optional supplies:  hot glue gun and glue sticks, ribbon, and/or beads.

I don’t know about you, but I love listening to audio books or watching movies while I work on my crochet projects. I absolutely love Audible and Amazon Prime. I have included a few promotions in the highlighted links for both Audible and Amazon Prime so check them out.

Now let’s get started on this cute crochet snowman gift tag!

For the body (make 2) 

Round 1:  Using your 5mm crochet hook and your white yarn, Create a MC (magic circle), place 10 SC (single crochet) in your magic circle.  Pull your tail tight to close up the circle.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first SC and CH (chain) 1.  At the end of round 1 you should have 10 stitches.

Round 2:  For round 2 place 2 SC in the CH 1 space, and 2 SC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first SC and CH 1.  At the end of round 2 you should have 20 stitches.

Round 3:  SC in the CH 1 space, place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 SC, 2 SC* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off.  At this point you can go ahead and weave in your yarn tails.  At the end of round 3 you should have 30 stitches.  

For the snowman scarf

With your green yarn (or what ever color you choose to use for the scarf) CH 32.  DC (double crochet) in the 3rd CH from your hook, DC in each CH all the way to the end.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.

For the eyes (make 2):  

With your 2.5mm crochet hook and your black yarn (you could also use black buttons and hot glue into place), create a MC.  Place 4 SC inside the MC.  Pull your tail tight to close and SLST to the top of the first MC.  Fasten off and weave in yarn tails.  

Putting it all together!

Step 1:  Lay your 2 snowman bodies on top of each other with the right sides facing out.  You are going to stitch about 5 stitches together to attach the 2 circles to one another.  I like to insert my crochet hook in the back loop on one circle and the front loop of the other circle and attach my yarn.  SC in 5 stitches attaching both together. Do not fasten off. We are going to continue to work around our snowman.  

Step 2:  Once your 2 circles are attached together you will SC along the edge of the snowman until you come to the center of the top portion.  CH 6, place a SC in the next stitch (this just created your loop) and in each stitch all the way back around to where you started.  SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off.  Weave in any yarn tails.

Step 3:  Grab your crochet snowman scarf.  Lay your snowman on top of the scarf at the neck (or the area where the 2 bodies meet), position your scarf the way you want it and either attach with green yarn or use a hot glue gun to attach to your snowman.  

Step 4:  Grab your cute little snowman eyes and your hot glue gun.  Attach the eyes where you would like them to be on the snowman face.  Note:  If you want you could make 3 more of these and create cute little buttons. You could also use buttons for the eyes and the coal going down the belly if you wanted.

Step 5:  With your yarn needle and your scrap orange yarn, insert your hook just off to the right and down below your left snowman eye.  Create a longer line that slants downward toward the right eye.  This is your carrot nose.  I like to go over this 2 times to make it stand out a little better.  You can now tie your two orange pieces in a knot on the back and weave in your orange yarn tails.  

That is it.  I think that this cute little crochet snowman gift tag will be the perfect addition to any of your gifts this year. If you like this crochet snowman gift tag pattern you will definitely like the crochet snowman gift card holder so make sure you check that one out as well. You will probably also like this fun Christmas inspired beanie. I hope you all enjoy making these fun projects.

Easy Dog Hat Pattern for Thanksgiving

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

We are currently about 2 weeks away for Thanksgiving!  I can’t believe that in a few weeks everyone will be in a Christmas shopping frenzy.  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the smells of Thanksgiving and all the food, but then again, who doesn’t.  This year I decided to make Thanksgiving turkey hats for our 2 dogs and 2 cats.  This one is a small dog hat for our orange Maine Coon kitty, Pumpkin (aka poop).  I had quite a few subscribers to my YouTube channel ask for a small crochet dog hat so I took the opportunity to turn it into a turkey for Thanksgiving and a photo opportunity.  

Clearly Poop was not happy with the fact that I made him wear this small dog hat.  The funny thing is that he may be a kitty but he thinks he is a dog.

 I hope you all enjoy making this small dog hat for your fur babies.  If you prefer to watch a video tutorial while making this small dog hat you can do so on my YouTube channel down below. While you are there make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe to my channel.  If you really like what I do consider becoming a Super’s member by purchasing a supers package.  This helps me continue to make new and fun crochet projects for you to do at home.  

If you prefer to follow along via video and paper you can purchase a AD FREE PDF version of this small dog hat right here on my Etsy Store in the highlighted link.

Here is everything that you need to know in order to make this small dog hat.

Abbreviations:  MC (magic circle), CH (chain), SLST (slip stitch), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together).

Special Stitches:  SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together), insert your hook in the next stitch yarn over and pull through said stitch, insert your hook into the very next stitch, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.  

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner friendly

Pattern written in US terms.  

Note:  If you want to turn this into a extra small you can size down to a 4.5mm crochet hook.

Here is everything you will need to make this small dog hat.  

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn will do.  I used Red Heart Super Saver and Red Heart Classic to make this small dog hat.  The colors used were brown, pumpkin, red, green, yellow, white, and black.  You will only need a scrap amount of white, black, red, pumpkin, yellow, and green.  One skein of brown will be more than enough for this small dog hat. You can purchase these yarns in the highlighted links above.

Crochet hook:  5 mm crochet hook.

Yarn needle:  Any yarn needle that you have on hand is fine.  Just make sure the eye of the needle is large enough for your yarn.  I like using metal yarn needles.  I feel like they weave through the yarn easier than plastic ones do.

Scissors:  Any pair of scissors you have is fine.  I like using the smaller craft scissors because I can tuck them away in my crochet hook bag.

I watch Prime video a lot during my down time and they are always coming out with new things to watch. You can check it out in the highlighted link.

Now, let’s get to making this fun small dog hat.

With your brown yarn:

Round 1:  Create a MC (magic circle), place 8 SC (single crochet) inside the magic circle.  Pull your yarn tail tight to close up the magic circle and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first SC.  CH (chain) 2.  At the end of round 1 you should have 8 stitches.

Round 2:  Place 2 DC (double crochet) in the CH 2 space.  Now, place 2 DC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 2 you should have 16 stitches.

Round 3:  Place 1 DC in the CH 2 space.  Place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC, 2 DC* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 3 you should have 24 DC.

Round 4:  Place 1 DC in the CH 2 space and in the next stitch.  Place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC in the next 2 stitches, 2 DC in the next* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 4 you should have 32 DC.  

Round 5:  We are going to be creating the ear holes here.  Place 1 DC in the CH 2 space and in the next 2 stitches.  CH 12, skip 6 stitches and DC in the 7th stitch.  Place 1 DC in the next 7 stitches, CH 12, skip 6 stitches and DC in the 7th stitch.  Place 1 DC in each of the remaining stitches.  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 5 you should have 44 stitches, this included your chains.

Round 6:  DC in the CH 2 space, place 1 DC in each stitch including every chain.  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 1.  At the end of round 6 you should have 44 stitches.

Round 7:  Place 1 SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch until you come to the middle of the ear hole, CH 30, SC in the 2nd CH from your hook, SC in each chain all the way back down.  SC in each stitch around until you come to the middle of the second ear hole, CH 30, SC in the 2nd CH from your hook, SC in each stitch all the way down.  SC in each remaining stitch.  SLST to the top of the very first SC and fasten off your work.  Weave in your yarn tails.

For the turkey eyes (Make 2):

With your white yarn, create a MC, Place 6 SC inside the MC.  Pull your tail tight to close and SLST to the top of the first SC.  Leave yourself a yarn tail long enough to fasten your eye to the small dog hat.  Now grab a small piece of black yarn and create the pupil by stitching a ling from the back to the front of the eye.  Tie the black yarn in a knot on the back side and weave in your yarn tails.

For the turkey waddle:  

With your red yarn, CH 6.  Place 3 SC in the 2nd CH from the hook.  Now, place 3 SC in every stitch all the way to the end of your chain.  Fasten off and leave your self a yarn tail long enough to attach the waddle to the turkey hat.

For the turkey beak:  

Row 1:  With your orange yarn, CH 5.  SC in the 2nd CH from the hook and in each stitch all the way to the end.  CH 1 and turn your work.  At the end of round 1 you should have 4 stitches.

Row 2:  SC2TOG (single crochet 2 stitches together) the first 2 stitches, SC2TOG the next 2 stitches.  CH 1 and turn your work.  At the end of row 2 you should have 2 stitches.  

Row 3:  SC2TOG your only 2 stitches.  CH 1 and fasten off.  Leave yourself a tail long enough to attach the beak to your small dog hat.  

For the turkey feathers (make one for each of your colors):

CH 10, Place 3 SC in the 2nd CH from the hook and in each stitch all the way to the very end.  Fasten off and leave a tail long enough to attach your feathers to your small dog hat.  

Weave in all the tails that you are not using on all of your pieces except for the feathers.  You will need both of those tails.

Attaching the eyes:  Grab your turkey eyes and place them on the front part of your small dog hat.  When your small dog hat is laying flat the front portion of the ear holes is smaller than the back portion.  It will have a small space that fits between the ears, that is how you know it is the front.  I like to position my eyes about 3 rounds down and have them touching each other.  Thread your yarn needle and stitch your eyes to your hat by weaving your yarn through the eye and the top layer of the small dog hat.  Do this all the way around your eye.  Weave your yarn tail in the underneath side of the hat.  Now do this with the second eye.

Attaching the beak:  Place your turkey beak directly under your eyes.  Make sure the top portion of the beak is touching the bottom of the eyes.  Attach the beak the exact same way you attached the eyes.  

Attaching the waddle:  Place your turkey waddle on the top of the beak and under the eyes.  This should make it look like the flat portion of the turkey waddle lays across the top of the beak.  Attach the waddle the same way you did the eyes and beak, but only attach along the flat portion of the waddle.  There is no need to attach the curled portion.

Attaching the feathers:  Take your first feather and pull both of your yarn tails through the top of the hat.  I like to use round 1 as a guide.  I also use my crochet hook to pull the tails through.  Try and not pull both tails through the same stitch.  Tie your yarn tails in a knot and weave them in.  Now move on to your other feathers and attach the same way making sure to position evenly around the top of the small dog hat. 

And there you have it, you just created this really fun small dog hat that looks like a turkey.  If you have several small animals it would be a really fun photo opportunity. If you have fur babies in other sizes check out my Large Crochet Dog Beanie, medium dog beanie, and extra small dog beanie. That way you can make one for all of your babies. I hope you all enjoyed making this small dog hat as much as I did. Make sure you check me out on social media and subscribe to this blog as I post here weekly. I love you all so very much, thank you for all your support. Happy Thanksgiving and happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!

Easy Crochet Pattern: Pumpkin Pie Potholder

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

I can’t believe that it is already November 1st and Thanksgiving will soon be upon us.  I don’t know about you but I feel like this year has flown by.  I love the fall,  November brings us a ton of snow here in Montana and I am not a big winter sports person, so I tend to hunker down inside when I am not at work.  This November I thought it would be fun to create these cute Pumpkin Pie Potholders for Thanksgiving.  I don’t have enough decor for Thanksgiving because we live in a very small home and I just don’t have the space for it.  This Pumpkin Pie Potholder is perfect because I can store it away in a small space when the holiday is over.  

The Pumpkin Pie Potholder is super simple to make and you can work up several in no time at all.  It is a fun way to add your own special touch to the holiday.  

A round crocheted placemat featuring a red center and a cream-colored scalloped edge.

Here is what you need to know to make this Pumpkin Pie Potholder:

Abbreviations:  MC (magic circle), CH (chain), SC (single crochet), HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet), TRC (triple crochet), SLST (slip stitch).

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner friendly

Pattern written in US terms

CH 1 and CH 2 at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch.

Special Stitches:  TRC (triple crochet), yarn over you hook 2 times, insert your hook into your next stitch and yarn over, pull through your stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through 2 more loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops on your hook.  That is how you create a triple crochet.

Yarn:  Lily Sugar and Cream cotton yarn in tangerine, jute, and white.  You will need 1 skein of each color to make 1 pumpkin pie potholder.  The white is the only color that you only need a small amount.

Crochet hook:  5mm crochet hook

Yarn needle:  I use metal yarn needles but you can use any that you have on hand.  Just make sure that it’s large enough for the yarn to fit through the eye of the needle.

Craft scissors:  You can use any craft scissors that you like.  I use the smaller ones because they easily fit in my crochet hook bag.

Cotton batting:  If you want an extra layer of heat protection, you can insert a layer of cotton batting between the top and bottom layer before you stitch them together.  Note:  A good trick to do in order to keep the batting from bunching up in the wash is to take your colored yarn from either the top or the bottom (make sure its the same color as the one you are attaching the batting to) and attach it with a few knots.  This will keep it from bunching up when you wash it.

Top and bottom layer (make 1 in the orange color and 1 in your crust color)

Round 1:  Create a MC (magic circle), CH (chain) 2, Place 12 DC (double crochet) inside your MC.  Pull your tail tight to close up the circle.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first DC.  CH 2.  At the end of round 1 you should have 12 stitches.

Round 2:  Place 2 DC in the CH 2 space and 2 DC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 2 you should have a total of 24 stitches.

Round 3:  DC in the CH 2 space.  Now, place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC, 2DC* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 3 you should have a total of 36 stitches.

Round 4:  DC in the CH 2 space and in the next stitch.  Next, place 2 DC in the following stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC in 2 stitches, 2DC in the next stitch*.  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 4 you should have 48 stitches.

Round 5:  DC in the CH 2 space and in the next 2 stitches.  Place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC in 3 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch*  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 5 you should have 60 stitches.

Round 6:  DC in the CH 2 space and in the next 3 stitches.  Place, 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the patter of *1 DC in 4 stitches, 2 DC in the next stitch*.  SLST to the top of the first DC and CH 2.  At the end of round 6 you should have 72 stitches.

Optional step:  If you are using the extra layer of cotton batting, place you top piece on the cotton batting and trace the outline.  Cut out the circle outline and attach it to which ever piece you want.  Just make sure you use the same color yarn.  

Pie Crust Edging

Place your top layer and your bottom layer wrong sides facing each other together.  With your crust color attach the two pieces by going through the back loop of the top layer and the front loop of the back layer, CH 1.  In the CH 1 space place a SC.  Next, HDC in the next stitch, DC in the next stitch, TRC in the next stitch, DC in the next stitch, HDC in the next, SC in the next.  Repeat by placing * 1 SC, 1 HDC, 1 DC, 1 TRC, 1 DC, 1 HDC, 1 SC* in every stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC that you created.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.

Now, let’s get started on this Oogie Boogie Crochet Beanie

For the Oogie Boogie Beanie grab your spring green yarn and your 5mm crochet hook.

Round 1:  Create a magic circle, place 10 HDC (half double crochet) inside the magic circle.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first HDC and pull your yarn tail tight to close up the circle.  At the end of round 1 you should have 10 HDC.  

Round 2:  CH (chain) 2, place 2 DC (double crochet) in the CH 2 space, next place 2 DC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC.  At the end of round 2 you should have 20 stitches.

Round 3:  CH 2, DC in the CH 2 space, now place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC in the first stitch and 2 DC in the next stitch* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC.  at the end of round 3 you should have 30 stitches.

Round 4:  CH 2, place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, DC in the next 2 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first, 1 DC in the next 2 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the tip of the first DC.  at the end of round 4 you should have a total of 40 stitches.

Round 5:  CH 2, place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, now DC in the next 3 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first stitch, 1 DC in the next 3 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.  At the end of round 5 you should have a total of 50 stitches.

Round 6:  CH 2,  place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, now place 1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first stitch, 1 DC in each of the next 4 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.  At the end of round 6 you should have 60 stitches.

Rounds 7-21:  DC in the CH 2 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.   At the end of each round you should still have a total of 60 stitches.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.  Note:  If your head is on the smaller side you will not want to do 21 rounds.  I like to put the beanie on my head from time to time to make sure the length is okay.  If this beanie is for a person with a larger head 21 rows will be just fine.

Row 19:  SC2TOG the only 2 remaining stitches.  Fasten off and leave a yarn tail long enough to attach the mouth to your Oogie Boogie beanie.  

Attaching the eyes and mouth to the Oogie Boogie Beanie.  

Thread your yarn needle with your yarn tail.  Place your eyes where you would like them to sit on your beanie.  I place mine with the tops of the eyes at the bottom of round 5.  Making sure you hold your eye in place the entire time so it does not go on crooked, stitch your eyes to the first layer of your Oogie Boogie Beanie.   Do this all the way around the edge of the eye.  When you get back to where you started, weave your remaining yarn tail into the back of the beanie.  Do the same thing with your other eye and with the mouth.  

Adding the eyebrows and the lines under the eyes:

With a long piece of yarn threaded on your yarn needle, insert your yarn needle from under the hat through the front.  I started at the bottom of row 8 and stitched a long line up to the end of row 5 at a slight angle.  I then poked my yarn needle from the inside of the beanie at the middle of row 5 of the beanie and the top of the eye, I then stitched a long line back down to where the last stitch ended at the end of row 5.  I then went over these lines one more time to make it stand out a little more.  Push your needle to the inside of the hat and weave in your yarn tails and clip your yarn.

Now for adding the lines under the eyes, start at row 10  and place your lines under your eyes to your liking.  I placed mine about halfway along the bottom portion of the eye.  I just went back and forth over the line 2 times so it would stand out.  Weave your yarn tails in the underside of the beanie and clip your yarn.

Adding the stitching to the mouth:

With a long piece of black yarn, create stitches along the entire outside edge of the mouth.  Again you will want to go over them 2 times so the lines stand out.  Weave your yarn tails in and clip your yarn.

If you love this Oogie Boogie Beanie you will love the Jack Skellington Beanie as well. Why not make the matching set for your kiddos or you and your friends or spouse.

I hope you all enjoy making this Oogie Boogie Beanie as much as I did. Make sure you check me out on social media and subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out on any of my fun tutorials. Happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!

Easy Steps for a Fall-Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

Hi Everyone!  Happy Fall!  It is officially that time of year, summer is coming to an end and fall is beginning.  The weather is getting cooler at night and early morning but thankfully still warming up a bit during the day.  My daughter is a nut for anything and everything Halloween / Fall.  The other day she asked me if I would make a Fall Inspired table runner for the middle of our table that was nothing but pumpkins.  Of course I had to stand up to the challenge.  Let’s face it, crochet pumpkins are super easy to make anyway.  I already had a fantastic pattern for a pumpkin coaster so I thought I would just take that pattern and turn it into a table runner.  I think it turned out really cute!  I hope you enjoy making this Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner.  It is going to be the perfect addition to the middle of any decorative table in your home this fall.  

Enough Said, Let us get started with everything that you will need for this Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner!

Size:  5 pumpkins wide by 3 rows deep.  The size of your pumpkin table runner will depend on the size of the crochet hook that you use.  The more pumpkins you make the larger and wider your Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner will be.

Abbreviations:  MC (magic circle), SLST (slip stitch), CH (chain), SC (single crochet), HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet)

Skill Level:  Easy, beginner friendly

Note:  The chain 1 at the beginning does not count as a stitch.

Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner Supplies:  

Yarn:  I used Lily Sugar and Cream 100% cotton yarn for this project in the colors Hot Orange and Dark Pine.  You will need a minimum of 4 skeins of the hot orange and 1 skein of dark pine.  You can purchase this yarn in the highlighted links above.

Crochet Hook:  4mm Crochet Hook.  I really love the crochet hooks that have the silicone handles.  They seem to fit really comfortably in my hand.  You can find this crochet hook in the highlighted link above.

Yarn Needle:  Any yarn needle that you have on hand will do.  However, I really do like the metal yarn needles.  I feel like they weave through the yarn so much easier.  Let’s face it, when you have a ton of yarn tails to weave in you want it to go quickly. You can purchase a multi pack of metal yarn needles in the link above.

Scissors:  Any pair of scissors that you have on hand will be fine.  Honestly, I really enjoy the small craft scissors because I can tuck them away in my crochet hook bag.  That way I never have to worry about having a pair on hand in a pinch.  These scissors can be found in the highlighted link above.

This fall inspired pumpkin table runner turned out perfect, don’t you think?

Now on to the Pumpkins Body: 

With your orange yarn, make as many of these as you would like to create the length and width of your pumpkin table runner.  

Round 1:  Create a MC (magic circle), place a SC (single crochet), a HDC (half double crochet), and 5 DC (double crochet) inside the magic circle.  Next, place a HDC, SC, and 5 DC inside the magic circle (that’s right you just did 2 sets inside the magic circle).  Make sure you pull the tail tight and close off your magic circle, SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first SC.  CH (chain) 1

Round 2:  SC in the CH 1 space, HDC in the next stitch, now place 2 DC in each of the next 5 stitches, HDC in the next stitch, SC in the next stitch, HDC in the next stitch, and finish off with 2 DC in the last 5 remaining stitches.  SLST to the top of the first SC and CH 1.  

Round 3:  SC in the CH 1 space, HDC in the next stitch, now place 2 DC in each of the next 10 stitches, HDC in the next stitch, SC in the next, HDC in the next stitch, and place 2 DC in each of the remaining 10 stitches.  SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off ad weave in your yarn tails.  

For the Pumpkin Stem: 

Row 1:  With your green yarn.  Find where you fastened off.  This is the top of your pumpkin.  Count over 2 stitches to the right and attach your green yarn.  In the same space where you attached your green yarn, place 1 SC.  SC in the next 3 stitches.  CH 1 and turn your work.

Row 2:  SC in the CH 1 space and SC in the last 3 stitches.  CH 1 and turn your work.

Row 3:  SC in the CH 1 space and SC in the last 3 stitches.  Fasten off and weave in all of your yarn tails.  

Now to put this Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner together!

For the first row:  First, take 2 pumpkins (make sure the right sides are facing each other), you will want to tie them together in a way that will allow them to open up and have the 2 right sides facing upward.  I insert my crochet hook into the back loop of the top pumpkin and into the front look of the bottom pumpkin toward the middle and on the side, grab your yarn with your crochet hook and pull it through.  Now you can clip your yarn off long enough to tie in a knot and weave in your yarn tails.  Continue to do this for the entire length that you want your pumpkin table runner.  

For the second row:  Do the same thing with another row of pumpkins as you did for the first row.  Once everything is tied in a knot and you have woven in all of your ends, take your pumpkin and lay it right side facing down with the stem down in the little indention at the bottom of the pumpkin.  That way when you get everything tied together and you open it the right sides are facing the same way.  Now, I put my hook through the very middle stitch of the bottom of the pumpkin and in to the middle stitch of the pumpkin stem and pull my yarn through.  I clip my yarn just long enough to be able to tie in a knot and weave in my yarn tails.  I will continue to repeat this all the way down to the very last pumpkin.  

For the rest of your pumpkins and rows:  All you have to do is repeat the same process for the first row and the second row until you have attached all of your pumpkins.  It is that simple.  

The fun thing about it is that it will work up so fast.  I threw on my latest book that I am listening to on Amazon and went to town. The most time consuming part of the Fall Inspired Pumpkin Table Runner is weaving in all those darn yarn tails.  I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did when I made mine. Another fun project for you to make this fall / halloween would be my Jack Skellington Beanie. It is so simple to make and turned out super cute. I’m sure you have a Jack Skellington fan somewhere in your home or amongst your friends.

Easy Crochet Cow Pot Holder Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Today’s post brings you this adorable Crochet Cow Pot Holder. Just like the Chicken Pot Holder and the Crochet Pig Pot Holder, this Crochet Cow Pot Holder is made with super simple stitches. It’s so easy to create that even the most basic beginner crocheter can create this Crochet Cow Potholder in no time.

You all know that our kitchen has more of a modern country vibe so these Crochet Pot Holders fit in perfectly with our decor. It’s not over the top, but just enough to give your kitchen that cute country flare.

If you are the type that love’s to follow along with a video tutorial, I’ve created one. Check it out below.

Here’s what you will need to create your very own Crochet Cow Pot Holder.

Crochet Cow Pot Holder Supplies

Yarn: I recommend using cotton yarn so your Crochet Cow Pot Holder is a functional piece in your kitchen. Here’s what you will need: Lily Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn in the colors

Yarn: I really love Lily Sugar and Cream Cotton yarn. You will need 2 skeins of White, and one skein of each of the following, black, pink, and brown. I feel like they are really good quality and are nice and soft. If you can’t find cotton yarn in your local store, you can purchase them through my affiliate link highlighted above.

Crochet Hook: 6mm Crochet Hook. I am obsessed with the crochet hooks with the silicone handles lately. I love they way they feel in my hand. If you can’t find them in your local craft store, you can purchase it through my affiliate link highlighted above.

Craft Scissors: I love the smaller craft scissors. They fit easily in my crochet hook bag. Of course, you can use any pair of scissors that you have on hand. However, if you want a smaller pair, you can purchase it in my highlighted link above.

Yarn Needles: You are also going to need a yarn needle. I recommend using a metal yarn needle as it cuts through the yarn much easier than the plastic ones. You can find an affordable set of yarn needles in the highlighted link above.

SLST to the top of the CH 3. At the end of round 6 you should have a total of 72 stitches. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.

For the Ears (Make 2)

Round 1: Create a MC, CH 2. Place 12 HDC (half double crochet) in the MC. Pull tail tight to close the circle and SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 12 HDC.

Round 2: CH 2, Place 2 HDC in the CH 2 space. Next, place 2 HDC in the following 4 stitches. Now (all in the same stitch) place 1 HDC, 1 DC, 1 TRC, 1 DC, 1 HDC. Next, place 2 HDC in the last remaining stitches. SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 2 you should have a total of 24 stitches. Fasten off and leave a long tail for attaching your ears to the Crochet Cow Pot Holder body.

For the Nose (make 1) with pink yarn

Round 1: Create a MC. Place 6 HDC, 1 DC, 1 TRC, 1 DC, 6HDC, 1 DC, 1 TRC, 1 DC, 6 HDC into the MC. Pull tail tight and close up the circle. SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 24 stitches.

Round 2: CH 2. Place 2 HDC in the CH 2 space. Next, place 2 HDC in each of the following 6 stitches. Now, place 2 DC in the next stitch. Place 2 TRC in the following stitch. Place 2 DC in the next stitch and 2 HDC in each of the next 6 stitches. Repeat by placing 2 DC in the DC stitches from row 1, 2 TRC in the TRC stitches from row 1, and 2 DC in the DC stitches from round 1. Finish by placing 2 HDC in each of the remaining stitches. SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 2 you should have a total of 34 stitches. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Attach your cow nose to the Crochet Cow Pot Holder body. Note: At this point I thread my black yarn and create the nostrils on the nose. I do this by entering the Crochet Cow Pot Holder from the back and leaving a tail. I insert my needle just a few stitches down from the front to the back and tie the two tails in a knot. I then go in and weave in my yarn tails.

Now for the Eyes! (make 2 with your black yarn)

Round 1: Create a MC. Place 8 HDC in the MC. Pull tail tight to close the circle and SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 1 you should have a total of 8 HDC.

Round 2: CH 2. Place 2 HDC in the CH 2 space. Next, place 2 HDC in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the first HDC. At the end of round 2 you should have a total of 16 stitches. Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail to attach the eyes to the Crochet Cow Pot Holder body. Note: Repeat the same process for the eyes that you did to create the nostrils, but with your white yarn.

For the Horns (make 2) using your brown yarn or yarn color of your choice

Row 1: CH 6 (leave a yarn tail long enough to attach the horns to the top of your Crochet Cow Pot Holder body). HDC in 2nd CH from the hook. Next, place 1 HDC in each of the remaining stitches. CH 1 and turn your work. At the end of row 1 you should have a total of 5 HDC.

Row 2: Place 1 HDC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch across. CH 1 and turn your work. You should still have a stitch count of 5.

Row 3: HDC2TOG (half double crochet 2 stitches together). Now, place 1 HDC in the next stitch, HDC2TOG the last 2 stitches. You should now have a stitch count of 4. CH 1 and turn your work.

Row 4: HDC2TOG the first 2 stitches. HDC2TOG the last 2 stitches. At the end of row 4 you should have 2 stitches remaining.

Row 5: HDC2TOG the last 2 stitches. Fasten off and weave in your yarn tail (remember not to weave in the yarn tail that you are going to use to attach the horns to the Crochet Cow Pot Holder body).

Putting Everything Together!

First, attach the ears to the Crochet Cow Pot Holder by weaving the yarn tail back and forth along the edge of the body. I placed mine where half of the ear hangs off the pot holder. I only attached the ears along one side. Weave in your yarn tails.

Second, attach the horns to the top of the pot holder with the long yarn tail. I attached my horns along the second row because you will need to leave space for attaching the back piece of the pot holder to the front piece. Weave in your yarn tails.

Third, attach the nose. I just picked a spot on my Crochet Cow Pot Holder that looked the way I wanted it to. I attached it with the yarn tail, weaving back and forth all the way around the edge of the nose. Weave in your last bit of yarn tail.

Finally, attach the eyes just above the nose of the cow in the same fashion as the nose. Weave in your yarn tails.

Details for the Eyes and Nose: With a piece of scrap black yarn, create the nostrils for the cow. I did this by looping my yarn from the back of the body, through the front, and back through the body again. Try and keep the two pieces of black yarn close enough to where you can tie them into a know and then weave in your yarn tails. I did the same thing with the white yarn for the eyes.

Attaching the back of the Crochet Cow Pot Holder body:

Reattach your white yarn to the top of the front piece of the body (along the top edge) and CH 1. SC in the CH 1 space and in each stitch all the way around, making sure to go through the back loop stitch of the front piece of the body and the front loop stitch of the back piece of the body. SLST to the top of the very first SC. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.

That’s it! You’ve just created another really cute farm animal pot holder to use in your kitchen. This crochet pot holder is super simple to make and and can easily be worked up while watch TV.

Spring-Inspired Crochet Granny Square Tutorial

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 1 Comment

Hi Everyone! I am back with another fun and really cute project. Today we are going to be making a Crochet Granny Square with a daisy flower in the middle. I’ve been wanting to make something that gets me in the mood for spring. It’s almost the middle of February and still looks like the Arctic Tundra where I live in Montana, but I’m in the mood for some spring decor.

This Crochet Granny Square is stylish and simple to make. I’m making mine into a blanket. My plan is to make each row 10 Granny Squares long and possibly 20 rows tall. It really is going to depend on how big I want my Crochet Granny Square blanket to be. That’s why I say the possibilities for this granny square pattern are endless. Mix up the color combinations, make it into a pillow, or even an adorable table runner to set the spring vibe in your home.

Let’s get to work on this Crochet Granny Square

Here’s what you will need if you want to make your Granny Square identical to mine.

Yarn: I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in the colors Pink and Yellow. I also used Lion Brand Ice Cream Big Scoop in the color Mint. If you can’t find them in your local yarn store you can purchase it through the highlighted links above.

Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook. Lately I have been obsessed with these crochet hooks with the silicone handles. I absolutely love the way they feel in my hand when I am crocheting. If you are in need of a new crochet hook you can purchase it through the highlighted link above.

Other Supplies: Craft Scissors, I like the small 4.5″ scissors because they easily fit into my crochet bag. You will also need a yarn needle for weaving in your yarn ends. If you are in need of these items you can purchase them in the highlighted links above.

Abbreviations: CH (chain), SC (Single Crochet), DC (Double Crochet), TRC(Triple Crochet Cluster), SLST (Slip Stitch).

Special Stitch: For the triple crochet cluster stitch: Yarn over your hook 2 times, insert your hook into the next stitch and draw up a loop pulling through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook, yarn over again and pull through 2 more loops leaving the last 2 loops on your hook. Repeat for a total of 3 TRC, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook.

Pattern is written in US Terms. CH 2 does not count as a stitch. CH 3 and CH 4 counts as a stitch.

Now for the Crochet Granny Square Pattern

Note: If you would rather watch a video tutorial, you can do so below.

Round 1: With Yellow Yarn, create a magic circle, CH (chain) 2. Place 11 DC (double crochet) in the magic circle. Pull tail tight to close circle and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first DC. You should have a total of 11 DC at the end of round 1. Change to your Pink yarn.

Round 2: With Pink yarn, CH 4 (counts as your first triple crochet). Next, place 2 more triple crochet in the CH 4 space, CH 2. Now, place 3 TRC in each stitch all the way around. You should have a total of 11 Triple Crochet Clusters at the end of round 2. Now change to your mint yarn.

Round 3: CH 3 (this counts as your first DC). Next place 2 more DC in the CH 3 Space. Skip over to the next opening (space between the DC clusters) and place 3 DC. Repeat this until you come to the corner. In the Corner space place *3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC* all in the corner space. Repeat by placing 3 DC in each opening and 3DC, CH 3, 3DC in the corner space. Repeat all the way around. SLST to the top of the first DC.

For the Boarder

Round 1: CH 1, SC (single crochet) in the CH 1 space. Place 1 SC in each stitch all the way across. Next, place 3 SC in the middle stitch of the CH 3 from the previous row. Repeat all the way around placing 1 SC in each stitch and 3 SC in the middle stitch of the CH 3. SLST to the top of the first SC.

Rounds 2-3: Repeat round 1. SLST to the top of the first SC. Fasten off and weave in your yarn ends.

That’s it! Like I said, this pattern is super simple to make and works up quickly. The possibilities are endless with this fun crochet granny square. It would make a super cute baby blanket, table runner for spring, or even a throw blanket to brighten up any room in your home.

Easy Crochet Pillow Tutorial for Cozy Homes

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 4 Comments

Fall has officially arrived here in Montana and I’m really enjoying the beautiful colors that come along with it. We just had a storm over the weekend and woke up to snow capped mountains. Driving through the valley today I noticed that the trees are turning from green to red, yellow, and orange. The bright red of this southwestern inspired throw pillow reminded me of the vibrant red leaves scattered amongst all the cottonwood and evergreen trees. It’s almost as if there were meticulously placed for the perfect mix of colors.

This throw pillow is just stylish enough to add a special touch to any room in your home. With a slight southwestern feel it definitely has a Montana flare. Made wit acrylic yarn making it soft yet still durable.

A neatly arranged bed with a dark upholstered headboard, featuring multiple pillows: two black pillows, one patterned pillow with orange and turquoise designs, and a red crocheted pillow at the center, all resting on a soft, textured blanket.
A red crocheted pillow with a textured wave pattern.
A textured red crochet pillow featuring two decorative buttons on the front, set against a patterned white quilt.
This cute cherry red throw pillow will compliment any room in your home. This simple pattern will work up in no time.

The front of this cute crochet pillow gets its unique look from the puff stitch. The pillow covering can be easily removed for a quick washing. I think the buttons add that special touch to the back of the pillow as well.

Crochet Pillow Details: Finished size is approximately 18″ x 18″. Any standard 18 x 18 pillow insert will fit.

Yarn Used: Any #4 worsted weight yarn will work, I used Red Heart Super Saver. I chose the color red because it went well in our home. You will need approximately 550 yards. Lion Brand is a great yarn to use. Use this brand as much as I can because they are consistent and the yarns are easy to work with. You can purchase any colors or <a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1026079&u=3175406&m=72611&urllink=&afftrack=”>Lion Brand Yarn Lion Brand Yarn in the highlighted links.

Crochet Hook Size: 5mm or size H, I love this one that you can purchase on Amazon. I also love the crochet hooks from <a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2008472&u=3175406&m=116536&urllink=&afftrack=”>Mint OdysseyFurls Crochet and <a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1026079&u=3175406&m=72611&urllink=&afftrack=”>Lion Brand Yarn Lion Brand. You can purchase these crochet hooks in the highlighted links.

Pillow Insert: 18″ x 18″. Pillow insert can be purchased at any craft store. I got mine on Amazon. Let’s face it, I absolutely love Amazon. You can purchase it in the highlighted link.

Buttons of your choice: You will need (4) half inch buttons. Pick a color that compliments your pillow.

Gauge: 13 stitches by 11 rows equals a 4 inch square.

Abbreviations: Ch (chain), HDC (half double crochet), DC (double crochet), BO (bobble stitch).

Notes: The chain at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch. Pillow is worked in 3 pieces, the front part as a whole and two back pieces that will be stitched together at the end. Important: The bobble stitch for this pillow is 4 double crochet bobbles. This means you will be working 4 partial double crochet to complete the stitch. (yarn over and insert your hook in the next stitch, yarn over again and draw through 2 loops, you will have 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, you will now have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and insert hook into same stitch, yarn over and draw through 2 loops, you will now have 4 loops on your hook. Yarn over again and insert your hook in the same stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, you will now have 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over one last time and insert your hook through same stitch, yarn over and draw through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through all loops on your hook. You have now completed a bobble stitch). Still wondering how to do it? Watch my beginner friendly crochet tutorial on how to create this Bobble Stitch down below:

Now, let’s get started on the pillow.

Front Side of the Pillow:

Row 1: Chain 61, HDC (half double crochet) in second chain from the hook. Continue to HDC in each stitch all the way to the end. You should have 60 half double crochet at the end of the row.

Rows 2-12: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch all the way to the end. You should still have 60 half double crochet at the end of each row.

Row 13: Chain 1 and turn your work. You will repeat the following pattern all the way to the end. *BO, HDC (Bobble in first stitch, Half Double Crochet in next stitch)*. You should still have 60 stitches at the end of the row (tip count along the tops of the stitches for an accurate count).

Rows 14-20: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC all the way to the end of the row. You should still have a total of 60 stitches at the end of each row.

Row 21: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in the next 4 stitches, BO (bobble) in the next stitch, HDC (half double crochet) in the next 15 stitches, BO in the next stitch. You will want to repeat the pattern of *(HDC in 15 stitches, BO in next stitch)* 3 more times. You will finish off the row with HDC in the last 7 stitches. You should still have 60 stitches at the end of the row.

Row 22: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch all the way to the end. You should still have a total of 60 stitches.

Row 23: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in the next 2 stitches, *(BO in next stitch, HDC in next 3 stitches, BO in next stitch, HDC in next 11 stitches)* repeat this pattern 3 more times. HDC in the last remaining 5 stitches. You should still have a total of 60 stitches at the end of the row.

Row 24: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch all the way to the end of the row. You should still have a total of 60 half double crochet.

Row 25: Chain 1 and turn your work. BO in the first stitch. *(HDC in next 7 stitches, BO in next stitch)* repeat this pattern 3 more times. HDC in the last 3 remaining stitches. You should still have a stitch count of 60 at the end of the row.

Row 26: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch all the way across to the end of the row. You should still have a stitch count of 60 at the end of the row.

Row 27: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in first 10 stitches, *(BO in next stitch, HDC in next 3 stitches, BO in next stitch, HDC in next 11 stitches)* repeat this pattern 3 more times. BO in second to last stitch and HDC in last stitch. You should still have a stitch count of 60 at the end of the row.

Row 28: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch all the way across to the end of the row. You should still have a total of 60 half double crochet.

Row 29: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in next 12 stitches, *(BO in next stitch, HDC in next 15 stitches)* repeat this pattern 3 more times. You will still have a total of 60 stitches at the end of the row.

Rows 30-44: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch across to the end. You should still have a stitch count of 60 at the end of each row.

Row 45: Chain 1 and turn your work. *(BO, HDC)* all the way to the end of the row. You should still have a total of 60 stitches at the end of the row.

Rows 46-50: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch across to the end. You should still have a stitch count of 60 at the end of each row. Finish off at the end of row 50 leaving a very long tail. You will use this tail to attach the front and back of the pillow together.

Let’s work on the Back pieces. You will need to make 2!

Row 1: Chain 61, HDC in second chain from the hook and all the way across to the end. You will have 60 half double crochet at the end of the row.

Rows 2-28: Chain 1 and turn your work. HDC in each stitch across to the end of the row. You will have 60 stitches at the end of each row. Finish off at the end of Row 28. No need for a long tail since you left one when you finished off the front of the pillow. If you did not you can leave a long tail here.

Assembly: To sew the crochet pillow covering together you will need to layer the right side of the pillow (pacing out) and layer the two back pieces on top of it. The two back pieces should overlap an inch or two. This is where you will add the buttons. If it helps you can pin the back pieces to the from with safety pins or stitch markers. Using your yarn needle and long tail you left, whip stitch the two back pieces to the front piece. Stitch all the way around the perimeter of the crochet pillow. Make sure to get all the edges when sewing to pillow together, including the overlapped edges on the back. Next, you will need to sew the buttons on. I attached my buttons 2 rows in on the bottom piece, that way the buttons fit through the spaces between the Half Double Crochet. You can attach the buttons any way you would like but I left smaller tails so I could secure them with a knot. You can weave in the ends behind the button if you want.

There ya go! I think it turned out really cute and was pretty simple to make. I hope you have as much fun as I did making it. Now grab that crochet hook, your favorite yarn, and get to crocheting!

Don’t forget, friends and family love homemade gifts too. This Crochet Dishcloth can be customized in any color combination you want. It’s the perfect gift idea.
