Well Hello Crochet Friends!!! I hope you all are doing well and staying warm this winter. Today’s project brings you the beginning of my Christmas Crochet Projects. I absolutely love Christmas and decided to make a project for everyday that I was off this year (basically Monday through Thursday). This Easy Christmas Wine Cozy is the first of my many projects that I will be posting here through the month of December.
This Easy Christmas Wine Cozy is super easy to create and is the perfect gift bag for that bottle of wine you are gifting this year. I think it’s a fun way to jazz up that bottle of wine and show that you went the extra step to make the gift extra special.
You are going to need a few things for this Easy Christmas Wine Cozy so let’s get started.
Easy Christmas Wine Cozy Supplies
Crochet Hook: 6mm crochet hook. I love the crochet hooks that have the silicone handles. If you would like to purchase a set of crochet hooks from them you can do so in the highlighted link above.
Yarn: I used a#4 worsted weight yarn for this project in the color’s white, delft blue, black, and orange, I used red heart super saver. You can purchase these colors in the highlighted link above.
Buttons: Any style of buttons will work, so get creative with the colors and make this Crochet Snowman Wine Cozy your own.
Yarn Needle: I like a metal yarn needle over the plastic ones. I feel like the metal yarn needles weave through the yarn much easier.
Craft Scissors: Any pair of scissors will work. I use smaller craft scissors because they easily fit in my crochet hook bag, making is so much easier to travel with. Feel free to use what ever scissors you have on hand.
Follow along with me and make this adorable Easy Christmas Wine Cozy!
If you prefer not to follow along via video you can purchase a pdf version of my pattern from my Etsy Store.
I hope you all enjoy making this Easy Christmas Wine Cozy! It really is a fun project that you can finish in no time at all. If you are looking for a few more gift ideas my Crochet Fall Colors Scarf would make a beautiful gift for that special someone.

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all still having an amazing fall. We had a beautiful fall here in Montana. We finally got our first snow over the weekend, and boy did we get snow. We got close to a foot and a half. I definitely took advantage of the snowy weekend and made this beautiful Crochet Scarf, it reminds me of all the changing leaves just outside my office window. When I chose this yarn for this Crochet Scarf that was the first thing I though of.
I’ve pretty much worn this Crochet Scarf everyday since I made it. I just can’t get enough of it. I think that this Crochet Scarf would also make a beautiful Christmas gift for friends and family! Let’s face it, Christmas is only 48 days away! Yikes!!! That’s scary to even think about. I definitely know that I’m not ready for the holidays, much less the beginning of a brand new year.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy making this Crochet Scarf as much as I did. Let’s get started on this beautiful Crochet Scarf Pattern!
Special Stitches:HDC2TOG, Yarn over and insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through stitch, yarn over and insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 stitches, yarn over and pull through all 3 stitches. BO, yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 loops, yarn over and insert hook into same stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, repeat for a total of 5 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 5 loops. DCX, yarn over, skip next stitch and insert hook into following stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through last 2 loops to create your first double crochet, yarn over and insert hook into skipped stitch, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.

Supplies:
Crochet Hook: 6.5mm hook. I really like the crochet hooks that have the silicone handles. You can purchase a 6.5mm crochet hook in the highlighted link above.
Yarn: I came across this gorgeous yarn toward the end of summer at Hobby Lobby. It’s the Yarn Bee Sugar Wheel in the Color Candied Orange. I don’t have a link for this yarn but I did see it in my local Hobby Lobby just the other day. If you don’t want to use this color combo you can use any colors you want. You will need 2 skeins of this yarn. Each skein is 355 yards. I also think that Cake in Phoenix would make a beautiful scarf as well. Unfortunately I couldn’t find candied orange anywhere. You can purchase the lion brand mandala cake in the highlighted link above.
Yarn Needle: I really like to use metal yarn needles. I feel like they weave through the yarn much easier than plastic ones. You can purchase a yarn needle in the highlighted link above.
Craft Scissors: You can use any pair of sharp scissors that you have on hand. I really enjoy using smaller craft scissors since they easily fit in my crochet hook bag and are easy to travel with. You can purchase a pair of craft scissors in the highlighted link above.

Now for the Crochet Granny Square Pattern
For the Granny SquareMake 5
Round 1: With your purple yarn, create a MC(magic circle). CH (chain) 2. Place 8 DC (double crochet) in your MC. Pull the tail tight to close up the circle and SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first DC. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.
Round 2: With your pink yarn, attach anywhere on the previous round. CH 3 (remember this counts as your first DC). Next, place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC (this creates your first corner) in the CH 3 space. In the next stitch you are going to place 2 DC. For the next stitch place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC all in the same stitch (this creates your second corner). Now, place 2 DC in the next stitch. In the next stitch we are going to make another corner by placing 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC. Place 2 DC in the next stitch. You now have one more corner left to make. Place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the next stitch. Finally finish off with 2 DC in the last stitch. SLST to the top of the CH 3 at the beginning. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.
Round 3: With your orange yarn, attach in a corner CH 1 space. CH 3, place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the CH 1 space where you just attached your yarn. This creates your first corner. Next, Place 2 DC in the spaces between each of the 2 DC clusters from the previous round. Now, repeat the process of placing *2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC* in the CH 1 spaces of the corners and 2 DC in each space between the double crochet clusters from the previous round. Continue doing this until you come back around to the beginning. SLST to the top of the CH 3. Fasten off your work and weave in your yarn tails.
Round 4: With your Oatmeal color, attach your yarn in a corner space. CH 3. Place 1 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the CH 3 space. Now continue to place 2 DC in each space between the DC clusters. When you get to your next corner space you will place 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC in the corner space (the CH 1 space). Repeat by placing 2 DC in each space between clusters, when you come to a corner space you will create another corner by placing 2 DC, CH 1, 2 DC. SLST to the top of the CH 3 at the beginning and fasten off your work. Make sure you weave in your yarn tails.
Putting The Headband Together
Step 1: Take 2 squares and place them wrong sides facing each other. Attach your yarn through the back loops of the top stitch on each square. CH 1 and place 1 SC (single crochet) in the CH 1 space. Now, continue to SC all the way to the other side stopping after you SC in the corner. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails. Repeat the process until all 5 granny squares are attaches.
Step 2: You have all 5 of your granny squares attaches so, next, you are going to attach the 1st granny square and the 5th granny square together. You will do this exactly like you did when you attached each individual granny square together. DO NOT fasten off your yarn.
For The Boarder
CH 1 and SC in the CH 1 space. Now, place 1 SC in each stitch all the way around the top of the headband. SLST to the top of the first SC. Fasten off your yarn and weave in your yarn tails.
Now, attach your yarn anywhere along the bottom of the headband. CH 1 and SC in the CH 1 space. Place 1 SC in each stitch all the way around. SLST to the top of the first SC. Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.

It’s really cold here in Montana today! End of February and the expected high is -12. It’s currently -30 with a windchill of -48 so I’m staying inside! That said, I figured I’d make some cute Crochet Coasters four the house. Holidays are all done and spring is on the way (well for us spring will be here mid June) for many of you. Since we are animal lovers I thought I’d make these adorable Crochet Coasters in the shape of a cat. The fun thing is you can get creative with them and make these Crochet Coasters in any colors that you want. They are the perfect crochet project for using up that scrap yarn.
You won’t need much for this Crochet Coaster project so grab your supplies and let’s get started!
Crochet Hook: 4mm crochet hook. I am obsessed with these crochet hooks that have the silicone handles. I love they way they feel in my hand when crocheting. It’s really nice that I do not have to worry about the hook slipping out of my hand when working on a project. If you are in need of a crochet hook I highly recommend the one highlighted in the link above.
Yarn: Any #4 worsted weight scrap yarn that you have on hand. I used Lily Sugar and Cream in Key Lime Pie. It was just some scrap yarn that I had laying around. I do recommend you using cotton yarn as it will soak up any moisture from your glass easier. You won’t need much maybe 30 yards if that. 1 Skein will probably make 4 of these no problem.
Craft Scissors: I love the smallercraft scissors like the ones in the highlighted link. They are small and fit perfectly in my crochet bag.
Yarn Needle: Any yarn needle will do, just make sure the eyes are large enough for your yarn to fit through. I like the metal ones better than the plastic ones. I feel like they weave through the yarn easier. If you need a set of yarn needles, I highly recommend the ones in the highlighted link.
Special Stitches: TRC (triple crochet): Yarn over your crochet hook 2 times. Insert your hook into the next stitch and draw up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over again and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 last loops. DTRC (double triple crochet): Yarn over your hook 3 times, insert your hook into the next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through 2 more, yarn over and pull through 2 more loops again, yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops on the hook.

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 colorsPink 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.
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.

I love you all so very much, happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!!!
It was a beautiful week here in Montana. I would guess that this weekend is probably going to be one of the last nice weekends before it starts to get cold. It’s forecasted to be in the 70’s this weekend and down to the high 40’s next weekend. We had a few stunning days so I decided to work on this crochet pattern while sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. After all, I do need a new crochet hat for winter. The “To the Peak” Crochet Hat is uniques in its own way. Not only do the puff style stitches create an ultra soft feel and help hold the hats shape, it has a brim as well. The two decorative buttons on the side of the hat helps to create the brim and gives it a nice finishing touch.
This hat was made with a super soft wool blend yarn for that extra thick feel. Add any style of buttons to the side to complete the look.
Supplies and Materials Needed:
Yarn: Any #4 Worsted Weight yarn will work. I used Red Heart Super Saver in White. You can purchase it in the highlighted link.
Buttons: 2 buttons of any size, just depends on how you want them to look. They are for decoration only.
Crochet Hook: Any crochet hooks that you have on hand will work. I love the crochet hooks from Lion Brand and also Furls Crochet. They are both a very dependable brand and fit comfortably in your hands while crocheting. You can purchase them in the highlighted links.
Yarn needle: I really like the metal yarn needles. I feel like they weave through the yarn better than the plastic ones. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.
Craft Scissors: You can use any pair of scissors that you have on hand. I really love the small craft scissors because the fit easily in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.
Hat Size:
Women’s One size fits most.
Gauge:
14 Single Crochet and 17 rows equal 4″
Abbreviations:
BEG (beginning), CH (chain), DC (double crochet), DCFP (double crochet front post *Yarn over and insert hook from front to back around the post to the next stitch*). You can watch a video on how to do a front post double crochet Here!, REM (remaining), REP (repeat), RNDS (round/rounds), SC (single crochet), SL ST (slip stitch), SP (spaces), STS (stitch), YOH (yarn over hook)
Skill Level: Easy
Note: Chain 2 at the beginning of round does not count as a stitch. * indicates a repeat in the pattern.
