These Sunshine Scrunchies are so easy to make (just two rounds of crochet!) and can be whipped up in no time at all! They’re also a great way to repurpose some old or boring hair ties. Sunshine Scrunchies are made with velvet yarn which makes them really soft, silky and also gives them that scrunchie-like texture. They look really cute when worn and let’s just say that they were a hit with my daughters!

Materials:

• Velvet yarn
• K (6.5mm) crochet hook
• Hair ties
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

Pattern notes:

• ch – chain
• st – stitch
• sl st – slip stitch
• dc – double crochet
• hdc – half double crochet

Written in US terminology.

Pattern:

Round 1: Hook the velvet yarn around the hair tie and chain 3. Crochet 24 dc around the hair tie (or any even number of dc depending on the size of your hair tie – ch 3 does not count as a st). Join to the first stitch and ch 1. The hair tie should not be visible at this point.

Round 2: Crochet 2 hdc in first st, slip st in the next st, ch 1, (2 hdc in the next st, slip st in the next st, ch 1) and repeat till the end of the round, finishing off with a sl st in the last stitch. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I LOVE scarves! So it seemed fitting that my first free crochet pattern should be a pattern for the Rose Infinity Scarf. This easy infinity scarf is made with just one skein of Stylecraft Dream Catcher yarn in the colour Cinnamon Rose. This acrylic DK yarn is so soft and I absolutely love the pretty colour scheme.

The Rose Infinity Scarf is made entirely with a variation of the lemon peel stitch which alternates between double and single crochet stitches. The lemon peel stitch gives this scarf a lovely soft texture and makes it so cosy and perfect for a cold winter’s day!

Materials:

• 1 Skein Stylecraft Dream Catcher yarn in colour Cinnamon Rose (or any DK weight yarn)
• 4.0 mm (G) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Pattern notes:

• ch – chain
• st – stitch
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet

Scarf measures around 46 inches by 9 inches (118cm by 22cm)

Written in US terminology.

Pattern:

Ch 45 (or any odd number of stitches)

Row 1: Dc in 3nd ch from the hook, sc in the next ch, then alternate dc and sc across till the end of the row. The last stitch should always be a dc (43 stitches). Chain 2 and turn.

Row 2: Dc in 1st st from hook, sc in the next st, repeat across until the end of the row. The last st should be a dc. Ch 2 and turn.

Row 3 – 174 (or until the skein of yarn ends): Repeat row 2. At the end of the last row fasten off leaving a long tail of yarn for sewing.

Bring the two short ends of the scarf together and sew together with the tapestry needle to create the infinity scarf. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

When your kids love rainbows, make them a rainbow blanket! To make this colourful blanket I used the gorgeous Easy Crochet Chevron Blanket pattern by Repeat Crafter Me. I used around 3 skeins of Schachenmayr Bravo yarn for each rainbow colour. This brightly coloured acrylic yarn is DK weight, which is slightly thinner than the worsted weight yarn that the original pattern calls for, so I used a size G (4.00mm) hook.

This blanket was one of the first things I made when I had just started crocheting so it didn’t come out perfect. However, crochet can be quite forgiving and I still think it turned out pretty good for a beginner. And best of all – my kids loved it!
