Well hello there! I’m so excited to be featured on the Joy of Motion blog today, and even more jazzed to share with you my first Tunisian crochet beanie.
The Thimble Beanie was one of those designs that just kind of fell off my hook. It came together perfectly, and I cannot wait to see these adorning heads everywhere this winter!
Today I’m sharing a free download handmade gift tag with you. I’m sure I’m not the only one who have crocheted or knitted until your hands hurt right before Christmas?!
Because of that I’ve made a beautiful gift tag that’s perfect to add to any handmade Christmas gifts.
I’m Hortense, a passionate knitter, crocheter and yarn addict and the designer behind the blog Knitting with Chopsticks. In this post I’m going to share my favorite crochet for home decor patterns.
Introducing the Lillian Flared Cardigan!
It is my absolute pleasure to be featured by one of the designers I look up to, yes, I adore Janne’s designs ,when the privilege came, it was a dream come true. There was a moment of me wanting to put out my best in the design I’d submit and I am glad with the outcome of this Cardigan! I wanted a versatile design, by that I meant a pattern you can style in different ways, which this design has. This pattern has its uniqueness from the texture and it is worked in one piece with minimal sewing (sleeves and shoulder seem)
Introducing the Lux Hat, a beautiful hat crochet pattern with subtle texture.
It’s made using 100 % hand dyed merino yarn from Joy of Motion Yarn.
The beanie can be used in 2 different ways:
On the right side.
On the wrong side.
Honestly I love all both!
This is the perfect hat if you love using variegated hand dyed yarn, as it uses our Favorite DK yarn.
I don’t know about you, but one thing that I really look forward to with the changing of the seasons is changing out my closet. Even if the weather hasn’t actually started to change much yet, getting different clothes out and imagining the quintessential days of the season coming up is so much fun.
At the same time, the cooling season of fall means that it’s easy to get outside again and enjoy the softer temperatures. Afternoon walks with more gentle sunshine coming through colorful leaves often creates a pinkish glow, and everything feels more cozy and pleasant.
With this sort of nostalgic feeling in mind, the Fallglow Cowl design(and the matching beanie that will be coming out soon as well) was created to celebrate this comfortable season as well as the beauty of it’s changing light and landscape. I hope you enjoy it!
Introducing the Lux Headband, a beautiful headband with subtle texture.
It’s made using 100 % hand dyed merino yarn from Joy of Motion Yarn.
The headband can be used 3 different ways:
On the right side.
On the wrong side.
With it crossed in the front (if you’re okay with it also crossed in the back)!
Honestly I love all 3!
This is the perfect headband if you love using variegated hand dyed yarn, as it uses less than half the skein of our Favorite DK, that means you can make 2, one for yourself & one as a gift!
Which makes it really affordable.
In the Forest of the Night Cardi is a pattern I created this fall using a beautiful leaf lace motif. It is worked from the bottom up with very little seaming using intermediate crochet stitches and diagrams to guide you in your project. Super cute to layer on chilly days at the office or just to head out in town.
Today I’m sharing a free downloadable crochet tag with you. This one is a fun tag to add to anything crochet.
Attach this to your project bag or use it when wrapping gifts to someone who LOVES crochet.
The Silene scarf is a triangle scarf or shawl made in one piece with lots of alternating patterns and textures to make it both fun to wear and fun to make! The stitches are mainly different arrangements of double crochet in a repeating pattern, and the steps are written in such a way that you won’t have to count hundreds of stitches!
Poudreuse means powder snow in French. That’s what this wrap reminds me of. The yarn is so light and fluffy and the very light blue color is nearly the blue of ice in the mountains.
The poudreuse wrap is an easy biased wrap in 2 yarn colors. Only simple stitches are used as well as the bead stitch for some added texture and just a little twist (fully explained below don’t worry).
You can wear it as a wrap on your shoulders or as a giant scarf. The simple, yet elegant designs dresses up any outfit in no time.
My wardrobe is full of jumper dresses, I love them! So I thought I’d design one. I also love texture and stripes, so I have incorporated both into this crochet raglan garment design.
The yoke and sleeves have a ribbed texture and the body consists of stripes and a bumpy texture, made from alternating double crochets and slip stitches. The possibilities are endless with this dress, the body could be one solid colour or blocks of colour!
