FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL

Summer is all about outdoor plans and that is the reason why we need to walk around comfortably so, dressing up with lighter garments and accessories becomes a must.

The Fresco Mini Bag may appear to have an intricate stitch pattern but it is really quite easy to achieve, besides having a round seamless construction. And it is also a cross body bag which makes it even more practical.

This free pattern includes single crochets mainly, which are part of crochet essentials, perfect for beginners. But in case you have no experience in crochet at all, you can watch my Crocheting from Scratch video first, if you feel you need to practice a little before diving into a more specific design.

And if you are looking for other mini bag options for that coming trip you can also watch the Cotone Mini Bag tutorial, with basic stitches and few finishing steps too, to be completed in little time.

Or how about another similar project that includes tapestry crochet and a cute coin purse, like the Giorno Mini Bag and Coin Purse.

The project is one piece only, all worked in the round, and only basic sewing to attach a set of clasps for better finishing. An easy and fun crochet experience.

STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES
Back loop slip stitch: Slip stitch, made in back loop of stitches from last row/round. Insert the hook in bl of next st, yarn over, pull through the st and pull through the loop on the hook.

CROCHET BEADED BRACELET
Before starting your crochet work, place all pieces over your fabric, this will prevent little pieces from sliding or falling. Place them in order, according to the sequence of color you wish your final bracelet to have. Then, insert the yarn through all pieces, by trying to leave some additional beads by the end, they can easily be removed before closing the bracelet. Crocheted in one row only. Make a slip ring.
Row 1: Slide first piece (this should be be the jump ring or lobster clasp) close to the slip ring and ch 1 by pulling the yarn over right after that first piece. Then, slide the next bead close to the last st made and complete 1 ch right after the bead. Rep until 0.4″ / 1 cm before the full length of the bracelet. You can also measure around the wrist to make sure you have almost reached the full circumference. Complete an additional sequence of beads if needed or cut the yarn by leaving 4″ / 10 cm. Remove beads that will not be used and slide the closing jump ring or lobster clasp, to complete the final chain right after.
Fasten off and weave in all ends.

FINISHING
Use some glue for the yarn ends, in case you want to make the bracelet super secure and long lasting.

CHRISTMAS MUG COZY

FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL

Winter season is always a very creative and fun time to take advantage of our crochet skills. The cold weather and Christmas festivities ahead become the main inspirations for new projects.

It’s been a while since I made the Oriens Mug Cozy and personally, I have using my own quite a lot, because it is a practical and cute home accessory. So, I decided I wanted to make the Christmas themed version, by adding a few easy changes.

Keeping it easy skill level, with the same in the round and back and forth construction, by making last rows with chenille yarn for texture and different finishing steps.

You can also take a look at the original Oriens Mug Cozy project which includes an eyelet, if you have some beautiful buttons at home that you want to use. Make sure to check the dedicated blog post and video tutorial, if you need more step by step photos or a longer video, for a more extensive reference on the making.

And you also have the round by round directions (below this same post), to follow every detail step by step.

For this Santa-like look, I used both acrylic and cotton sport weight yarns for the main body of the mug cover, then some chenille DK weight yarn for the puffy look on the edge. But you could really use any kind of yarn you have, as long as it is close to sport weight, you will get a similar size and fit for medium size mugs. With a pair of snaps this time, for the flap to be easily opened.

MAPLE C2C CROCHET HOT PAD

Chabepatterns — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 12:55:50 +0000

FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL

The third stage in our C2C crochet learning journey, moving forward with a new step and a new project too. Just in time for Fall season, with beautiful colors and texture.

The Maple C2C Crochet Hot Pad is a great project to practice drawing with corner to corner technique, with that fun diagonal dynamic that gives such beautiful pixels to create.

It follows the basics of C2C technique by increasing and decreasing within a simple square but now, with the added feature of color changes between two yarns to display the Maple leaf, which calls out for those Autumn warm tones.

A small size project, to ease the medium skill level of changing from one tone to the other. Only a few rows to reach the widest diagonal to then go back by decreasing one block in each row and shape the cute square.

A free pattern that is worked mainly with double crochets, chains, slip stitches and single crochet, to create every little block that puts all the project together and then making the nice edge. But if you do not have many notions of these basic stitches, you can watch my Basic Stitches back and forth video below, which covers all the essentials for three different stitches, including double and single crochets, if you feel you need to practice first.

A pattern that uses thread weight cotton yarn, for bright colors and nice stitch definition. And another square is made as backing, to get that padded texture that is ideal for hot pads.

SPECIAL STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES
C2C Crochet (Corner to corner)
Crochet technique that is made from small blocks which are worked diagonally. The blocks are commonly made of 3 double crochets and 3 chains (they can also be made with half double crochets). It is worked back and forth, by increasing or decreasing one block in each row, depending on the final shape needed (square, rectangle, triangle).

Single crochet join (Standing single crochet)
Used to add a new yarn in the beginning of a new round, to get a cleaner start. Make a slip ring over the hook, insert the hook in the st, yarn over, pull through the st, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook.

This video tutorial for the Maple C2C Crochet Hot Pad covers all steps of the making. Video is in Spanish, but you have the option to see the Closed Caption in the language of your choice, by selecting the settings icon on the video then, select Closed Caption, Automatic Translation and select your language. And you also have all written directions, charts and images (below this same post), to follow every detail step by step.

If you want the formatted, ad free, 11 page PDF document (with written instructions, chart and more than 50 images in photo tutorials) of the Maple C2C Crochet Hot Pad, this is available in my pattern stores (Ravelry, Etsy, Lovecrochet) for USD $4.70.

Thread weight yarn with a 2 mm crochet hook was the right combination for me, to get nice little squares and a defined shape, perfect for a detailed leaf. PLEASE NOTE that the video tutorial displays the hot pad made with BROWN and GREEN, while this post focuses on the ORANGE/BROWN combination.

PIXEL C2C CROCHET SCARF

FREE PATTERN WITH VIDEO TUTORIAL

Learning a new technique is kind of a path, where you begin with first steps and continue discovering with further possibilities. That is the way I will be covering C2C crochet topic for some more posts, because it is worth going through the most important variations to understand it.

The Colors C2C Crochet Blanket tutorial, which was launched a couple of weeks ago was the first approach, to learn the basic corner to corner square construction. And now, the Pixel C2C Crochet Scarf goes a little further, to display a rectangle structure, to go on with this fun diagonal and colorful dynamic.

If you want to check my Colors C2C Crochet Blanket to start with a C2C basic square you can watch that video tutorial first, to get those essential notions.

Because breaking it into separate projects can make it easier to practice, starting with the easiest steps and evolving little by little in complexity. As mentioned before, the scarf involves a rectangle, that still uses basic corner to corner principles and with the perfect size for a medium scarf you can wear all year long.

Repetitive crochet patterns are used to complete the design, to increase one block in each row to begin and then, keeping the same number of blocks diagonally, to grow the scarf in length. And by the end, going back by decreasing one block in each row.

A free pattern that is worked mainly with double crochets, chains and slip stitches, to create every little block that puts all the project together. But if you do not have many notions of these basic stitches, you can watch my Basic Stitches back and forth video below, which covers all the essentials for three different stitches, including double crochets, if you feel you need to practice first.

One project that could be considered small and perfect to display colorful yarns too, allowing the color transitions to pop up so beautifully in little pixels.

This video tutorial for the Pixel C2C Crochet Scarf covers all steps of the making. Video is in Spanish, but you have the option to see the Closed Caption in the language of your choice, by selecting the settings icon on the video then, select Closed Caption, Automatic Translation and select your language. And you also have all written directions, a chart and images (below this same post), to follow every detail step by step.

If you want the formatted, ad free, 9 page PDF document (with written instructions, charts and more than 50 images in photo tutorials) of the Pixel C2C Crochet Scarf, this is available in my pattern stores (Ravelry, Etsy, Lovecrochet) for USD $4.70. And I think I should also mention that this includes the formatted Colors C2C Crochet Blanket PDF as well.

I used DK weight yarn and 5 mm crochet hook to create a light yet cozy scarf. And with a yarn that already includes color changes, like I did with the blanket project, to take advantage of that square block effect all over the piece. PLEASE NOTE that the video tutorial displays the scarf made with PURPLE/PINK yarn while this post display the making with PINK SHADES option.
