I have recently been going through some long forgotten patterns in my WIP bins. I found a half-done snowfall pouch, and thought maybe I was time to give it a new life!
Back when I published my snowfall hat, I wanted to make all the patterns I could think of with that cute stitch. It looks so pretty and is so easy to do.

I still have quite a few half-done “snowfall” projects using this technique, and I hope I can get to all of them.
Although the technique does has an inherit wintry feel, this pouch is definitely note solely a cold weather project. Making it in bright colors would so fun and perfect for any season.

I used WeCrochet Shine Worsted to make this cute little crochet pencil pouch. Shine is one of my very favorite cottons to work with. It is a cotton and beechwood blend, so it has a silky texture and sheen that you won’t find with other cotton yarns, and it still made of all-natural fibers.

I have wanted to make magical-themed crochet patterns (specifically magical Christmas-themed) for a long time. I have a running list of ideas but never seemed to make it happen in year’s past.
When I had the simple idea for these crochet magic flying keys a few weeks ago, I decided this year will be the year of the Potter Christmas Tree.
I have already dreamed of having a Harry Potter Christmas tree, but I am a maker (as you are as well) and I wanted to make most of the ornaments. Once I started brainstorming, the ideas just kept coming!
I have so many ideas swirling around; I currently have 3 WIPS and so many more I can’t wait to add to my WIP list.

I wanted the wings to be thin and light, light fairy wings, so I chose Palette yarn for this project. Palette is a 100% wool fingering weight yarn. You can pick up from WeCrochet. This is the same yarn I use for my Rustic Crochet Nativity! I used Cream, but I think any light color, even light grays or blues would work wonderfully.

This is the first pattern magical pattern in my library, with many more the come.
I have mostly Christmas ideas and Halloween ideas (I feel like the Potterverse holds rich fodder for both holidays!)
However, the rest of the patterns will be inside the Endless Bundle! A few of them I will sell in my shops, but mostly access will be inside the membership.

CONSTRUCTION
From here, you will need to block your wings so they lay nicely, then apply Stiffy.
To wet block, simply mist with water, lay under a cloth and place a book on top to flatten.
Once they are flat enough (you don’t need to wait for them to dry), you can apply Stiffy with a wet foam brush. Gently dab until the piece is lightly dampened. Take particular care that the thin center part is fully saturated. You will need to apply to both the front and back.
For a bent shape, you can droop the wing piece over some folded cardboard to make them bend slightly when dry.

I recommend these keys. I spent some time reading reviews and looking at different choices. I went with these keys because I liked that they weren’t flat on the back, they look like real keys from both side. They also have a loop on the top so they can easily hang from a branch.
I was very pleased when I saw them in person. They are perfect!

Once your wing piece is dry, you can glue it to the back of your keys with a dab of super glue. I tried hot glue, but it does not adhere very well to the metal keys. All of my hot glued ornaments popped apart very easily, so be sure to use a stronger glue.
To finish, add a loop of yarn or string on the top of your key.

So easy! You will want to whip out a few of these!

Crochet Wall Pennant – Crochet Pattern
This cute crochet wall pennant is a great way to decorate your walls with crochet! Add some fun words or phrases with heat transfer vinyl. The free pattern includes one cut file, while the PDF download found in my shops includes the crochet wall pennant pattern written completely out plus FIVE different cut files! These crochet pennants are worked with WeCrochet Dishie, a 100% Cotton yarn that comes in beautiful array of solids, variegated colorways and bright and beautiful twists! This free pattern is brought to you by WeCrochet. All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for your support!

This crochet wall pennant is a project I started several year ago. I tabled it because I wasn’t sure exactly how to get the words on it. I had bought a bunch of sticky-back felt letters, but they didn’t look as pretty as I had imagined.
So in a bin it went.
When I was cleaning out my stash, I stumbled upon my old sample. I have a couple heat transfer crochet projects under my belt, (my plaid wall hanging and my snowfall wall hanging), so I knew that iron-on vinyl was the answer!

Because natural fibers are imperative for heat transfer vinyl, I chose Dishie for this project, which is a 100% cotton yarn. My blush-colored sample was made with Comfy, which is mostly cotton with a touch of acrylic and it worked well with the iron as well.
The Dishie line has certainly expanded over the last little while, and it now comes in Solids, Twist, Multi Color, and Cones!

I actually designed a few cut files for you to use to make your crochet pennant. The freebie is the cut file that says “HOOK + YARN” . The other 4 say “CROCHET”, “IT’S NOT KNIT.”, “CROCHET”, and “HOOKER”.

Aren’t they cute? I can’t wait to get them up on my wall! I honestly went into this project thinking I would prefer the bold black lettering, but I definitely prefer the white, it looks a bit more modern.
I can’t wait to see yours! Be sure to tag me on Insta when you make your Whistle and Ivy creations! @whistleandivy

CROCHET PENNANT PATTERN
(Worked from the tip down)
Ch 3.
1. Work 3 dc in 1st ch. Turn. (3 sts)
2. Ch 2. Dc in each st. Turn. (3 sts)
3. Ch 2. Work 2 Dc in same st. Dc in next st. Work 2 dc in last st. Turn. (5 sts)
4. Ch 2. Dc in each st across. Turn. (5 sts)
5. Ch 2. Work 2 dc in same st. Dc in next 3 sts. Work 2 dc in last st. Turn. (7 sts)
Repeat this sequence of increasing in the first and last st, and then working a st in each st the following row, turning after each row, until you have 38 rows, consisting of 39 sts.
BORDER:
Continuing where you left off (alternately, you can break yarn and join a contrasting yarn) and work down the raw side. Ch 2. Work a row of sc down the side of the pennant, spacing them as evenly as possible. When you get to the sharp tip, work 2 sc, ch 1, work another 2 sc. Sc up the other side of the pennant. Join with a sl st.
Weave in ends.
Adding Heat Transfer Vinyl to your crochet pennant
Be sure to mirror the design and cut it with the shiny side down.
I get all my vinyl at Expressions Vinyl. They have the best quality and the best prices by far!
When ironing on, you will have to remember that your piece is not flat like a t-shirt, so you will need to iron for extra time and apply extra pressure so the vinyl conforms to the shape of your stitches. When in doubt, try the tip of the letters and if they don’t stay, try ironing again. DO NOT peel all the plastic up if your design isn’t sticking properly.
You will not get as firm of a hold as you would with fabric, so keep that in mind. It just needs to stick well enough to stay in place. This will not be an item that needs to be constantly laundered, so a firm hold is all you need.
