Twenty- Twenty: A year in review

December 31, 2020 by Bethany 2 Comments

This year was a doozy, we had some struggles, heartaches and mental lows, but a few bright sides as well. I hope you take some time to reflect on any positive things that happened this year, as we more forward and upward into 2021! And be sure to save any of these Whistle and Ivy patterns you may have missed this year.

I always spend December reflecting over my detailed goal sheet that I wrote up the previous year. It’s fun to see where I was when I began the year and how far I came to meeting the goals I had written down.

This year has been a bit different. Most of my business goals were woefully unattained this year. Many of my personal ones as well.

It seems as thought all bets are off and all schedules have gone out the window this year!

I decided to write down a few different things this year, some bright sides.


We all travel through life in different situations and with different hardships, and I find comparison to be a extremely unhelpful exercise. What I do find helpful is looking back and seeing where there was light and love.

Will you do this exercise with me? Get a pretty piece of paper and write down all the good things, the bright sides, that happened in 2020. Keep them, just as you would a goal sheet, so you can reflect on them.

Here are some of mine:

Health: Through all of this, our family has had our health. Not only that, but due to social distancing and masks, I had only ONE cold the entire year, when normally I have about 1 per month.

Family Time: We have missed friends dearly during this time. But, I have seen the relationship between my older two children blossom and grow. They have always gotten along okay, but they see each other as playmates and friends (most of the time) and it has been wonderful to witness.

Forced Prioritizing: I have always been one to stress over my time management. I am frequently found rushing around the house, snapping at my family as I try to meet a looming deadline. This year forced me to slow down. I didn’t have a choice! My kids needed help with school. Cubbie needed to be held and cuddled. And as crazy as it sounds, my whole world didn’t implode when I didn’t live up to my self-imposed “shoulds”.


I truly did NOT meet any of my business goals this year, but the forced prioritizing made me let go of some of the “shoulds”, and I found many of them were actually quite unnecessary!
I am excited to move into 2021 with my new plan of action and to bring all my crochet ideas to fruition, bring my the simplicity of crochet designing. ❤️

So in case you missed any of these patterns from 2020, here is my pattern design list.

Before we dive in, I want to remind you that ALL of my ad-free PDFs, premium patterns, videos, courses, graphics and cut files are all in my Endless Bundle All-Access pass.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! I am about checked out over here, and fully ready for some R&R, but I had to share one last pattern with you in 2020, my Cloud Puff Hat (and cowl, if you get the PDF!).

I am releasing this hat in the hopes that you might find a few minutes to make it for yourself in your down time this holiday. It’s a pretty quick project, and perfect for the rest of dreary winter.

I used Biggo Yarn to make this hat and cowl, I knew I wanted something light and fluffy, but squishy and warm for this puff stitch hat. This yarn is a wool/nylon blend, which I think is why it has such a light texture.

I am a huge sucker for beautiful off-white yarn!

beautiful crochet puff stitch pattern for hat

The puff stitch is just gorgeous. It’s truly complimented by the light, fluffy and squishy texture of Biggo. Biggo is difficult to describe because I haven’t worked with any other yarn like it! It’s chunky but light; warm but airy; and soft and fluffy!

It’s a perfect choice for a warm hat, but I also made it into a beach cover up over the summer and its light texture was perfect for that project as well.

Ready to dive in?!

The puff stitch is worked a bit differently, so I have a video below showing where to insert your hook for this hat (please disable your ad-blocker if the video isn’t loading for you)

HAT:
1. Start with a sc foundation of 39 sts. It should be about 18″ and should stretch easily and comfortably to 21-22″.
Being careful not to twist, join with a sl st with the first st forming a large ring. (39 sts)

2. Ch 1. Work a 3-hdc puff stitch in next st. *Ch 1. Sk next st. Work a 3-hdc puff stitch in next st* repeat across remaining stitches. Join with first st.
(39 sts)

3. – 14. Ch 1. Work a 3-hdc puff stitch in the right side loop of the previous puff stitch. *Ch 1. Sk next st. Work a 3-hdc puff stitch in the right side loop of the previous puff stitch.* repeat across remaining stitches of the round. Join with first st. (39 sts) 

15. Ch 1. Sc in the right side loop of previous puff stitch. *Sc in next ch 1 space. Sc in the right side loop of previous puff stitch.* repeat across remaining stitches in the round. Join with first st. (39 sts) 

CONSTRUCTION

The foundation row will be the top of the hat. Turn the hat inside-out. Thread a long piece of yarn onto a large darning needle and sew a loose running stitch across the foundation row.

Pull ends firmly, cinching the top closed. Weave in ends to secure the top. Turn hat right-side out.

I highly recommend adding a pom-pom to your puff stitch hat! There are a few ways to make a pom-pom, but I have been crocheting my own with fur yarn and loving the result. This is yarn is called Fable Fur (also by WeCrochet!) and the color is a beautiful off-white called Eisbar.

cute fall halloween candy corn hat for baby crochet pattern

When I organized my stash a little while ago, I found a few long-forgotten projects. It was kind of fun to see some of the things I created long time ago.
One of them was this cute crochet candy corn hat.

To be brutally honest, I tucked it away because I wasn’t sure if it was a win or fail.
I showed it to my husband. Maybe it’s his blind support of everything I do, but he told me it was cute and to send out into the world!

crochet pattern for candy corn baby hat

To be totally fair, I have a track record of being a bit off the mark. My Moon Cycle mobile totally looks like Oreos (whoops), and I almost didn’t even release my Plaid Moose Lovey because I wasn’t sure if it was cute enough (that pattern is my best seller!).

So hopefully you think this whimsical hat is cute for baby on Halloween! 😆

Crochet Candy Corn Hat Construction:

Be sure all the ends are weaved in on your candy corn ear flaps. Pin the ear flap in place before you begin. Count 8 stitches to the right of the seam.Line up the flap so only the yellow rows are on the hat, with the rest hanging down.
The candy corn edge should be flush with the 7 st from the seam. Use the tail to sew up the side of the yellow stripe, across the yellow top and down the other side of the yellow stripe.

 Repeat for the other flap , except attached the candy corn flap at 7 sts to the left of the seam.

Once both candy corn ear flaps are in place, you can finish with a pom-pom and tassels.
Need help making and attaching your pom-pom? See how here.

To make your tassels, cut 16 lengths of yarn from chin to arm with Cream. Take 8 of them and pull the ends through the tip of the candy corn flap. Pull so all the ends are equal lengths. Braid them and tie a trim not at the end. Clip the ends.

Do you have a favorite “too pretty” yarn that has been sitting in your stash for a while? This gorgeous gray Chroma Twist has been sitting on my shelf for far too long and I decided it was time to turn those hanks into a scrumptious and cozy fall accessory.

What do you think?

crochet cowl faux fur crochet pattern free surface crochet pattern

You guys know I love gray. This color features a lovely, moody ombre that moves from charcoal to light gray and back. (called “Wednesday” 😆)

The gray on gray with the Fable Fur is beautiful in my opinion but I think a bright, contrasting color would be wonderful as well. Fable Fur comes in a few bright colors, I might make another one using the color Paloma, a gorgeous blush color.

faux fur yarn

The fun thing about this crochet cowl is that you can completely change the look by using different yarns to make the stripes. I made a sampler with a few different yarn variations (scroll down to see them). I think all of them would work and create a completely different looks.

The effect is created by surface crochet. I am excited to show this technique to those of you who haven’t tried it yet. It’s EASY and has an amazing look.

COWL PATTERN

Notes:
Ch 1 does not count. Always work the first st in the same st as the chain and always join with the first st, not the chain.

This project requires 2 skeins, so try to join your second skein in a way that makes the color look seamless.


1. Begin with a chainless sc foundation that is 22″ long, 66 sts. Count does not matter a great deal here, just make sure it’s in multiples of 2. Join with first st.

2. Ch 1. *Hdc in next st. Ch 1. Sk next st* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st.

3. Ch 1. Sl st into next ch-1 space. Ch 1. *Hdc into ch-1 sp. Ch 1.* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st.

4. Ch 2. Reach backward and work a Hdc in last ch-1 sp of previous row. Ch 1. *Hdc in next ch-1 sp. Ch 1* repeat for the entire round. Join with first st. (make sure you don’t work in the final ch-1 sp because you already worked in that one at the beginning of the round.

5. – 32. To keep the seam from wandering left to right, you will repeat row 4 twice, then repeat row 3. Then repeat row 4 twice, following by repeating row 3 until you reach 32 total rows.

Weave in both ends.

You can see you have lovely diagonal holes, ready for your surface crochet.

difference surface crochet yarn textures crochet cowl

I wasn’t quite sure which yarns I wanted to use so I put a few different rows onto the cowl. Honestly, I think each of these yarns would look amazing!
Ultimately because of the unique, cozy look I wanted it to have, I went with Fable Fur but I still think any of these yarns would be so lovely on this cowl.

Yarns from left to right:
Chroma Twist (Pixie) , Tuff Puff (Marina), Fable Fur (Lapin), Biggo (Bare)

To add the stripes (which ever yarn you choose), you will work a surface slip stitch from the top to the bottom.

See a video for how to work a surface sl st here.

I worked each row about 6 sts apart.

faux fur yarn trim crochet cowl free crochet pattern

From here, weave in the tails of the fur yarn (or whichever yarn you chose) by treading onto a large-eye plastic darner needle and weaving it back into the slip stitches. Weave them each in well and snip the ends.


I haven’t made too many cowls in the past, (I have a few) but I think my main mistake has been not making it narrow enough to snug around the neck, and not making it long enough! Seriously, the longer it is, the cozier it is!
You do you, make it as long as you like it to be!

Crochet Fringe Clutch – Free Crochet Pattern

May 8, 2018 by Bethany Leave a Comment

This crochet fringe clutch is a makeover pattern! I designed this crochet pattern in thick acrylic/wool yarn last summer. I actually really like it in the bulky yarn, and it works up so fast, but I really wanted to make it in t-shirt yarn. I had searched but hadn’t found an affordable, readily available t-shirt yarn, so I settled for a bulky acrylic. However, a few weeks ago I discovered Bernat Home! I am currently working a few projects with it, and I made these deliciously comfortable flip-flops sandals last month. The stretchy texture is perfect for slippers. It’s SO comfortable.  And of course I decided to remake my crochet fringe clutch with this newfound yarn.

This week I have been sluggish. I am trying to get the year planned out and organized, and it resulted in less articles appearing on Whistle and Ivy. I am so excited about what I have planned out for the year and I hope I can create content that you absolutely LOVE.  This granny square cowl is a pattern that I designed about 18 months ago, but I am republishing it here so you can find it easier. It is very cozy, and quite easy to whip up, especially if you love making granny squares.

A few weeks ago I was browsing on Wish (it’s a direct from China deal site) and I randomly came across some super bulky yarn. It was SO CHEAP. But I got really nervous reading the reviews, they were rather hit or miss (as a lot of the items are on Wish). So I ended passing on it. However, a few days later I came across a similar product on eBay. The yarn I found was similar to the super bulky yarn that I saw on Wish. This time I decided to just try it.
And now I am wearing a fab Super Bulky Crochet Cowl, so I would say that I gambled and won.

30 Minute Chunky Crochet Slippers Crochet Pattern

August 22, 2017 by Bethany 20 Comments

I am working on a very special post, ya’ll! You guys need to get excited, because I get asked a certain question A LOT. And honestly, I don’t know the answer, so I decided to find it out. I am working behind the scenes to figure it out (the question and answer coming next week!), but in the meantime I made a quick and fun pattern for crochet slippers. These 30 minute chunky crochet slippers really only take 30 minutes to make, (probably less for you, I am a slow crocheter) and the chunky yarn makes them so very comfortable.

I just love that hot pink color. The gray and hot pink match perfectly with this Autumn Frost Slouchy.

Easy Crochet Pouch Case – Free Crochet Pattern

June 5, 2017 by Bethany 6 Comments

This darling easy crochet pouch case is easy to make and so lovey for any occasion! Use it as a clutch or for a case for your notions. The yarn for this post was provided by Wool and the Gang. Thank you!

I guess I have been on a crochet clutch kick lately (check out my Color Pop Clutch, Tide Pool Clutch and Everia Clutch). Crochet clutches are on trend right now, and summer is the perfect time to make them, since you don’t really want to snuggle under a cozy blanket in the summer heat. This Crochet Cindy Case turned out absolutely gorgeous. I was working on it while visiting family this weekend and everyone commented on how pretty it is, and what a lovely texture it has.

Everia Picot Clutch Crochet Pattern

May 15, 2017 by Bethany 15 Comments

This week came so quickly! Today I am sharing the third and last clutch I designed as a possible accessory for the Women’s Choice Awards, I call it the Everia Picot Clutch Crochet Pattern. I am taking photos and trying to get packed for the trip and I admit, I am pretty nervous. I am a born and bred small town girl and I hope I don’t feel too out of place in shiny and beautiful Hollywood! I still haven’t decided which clutch to take to the event, so I was really hoping you will help me. I have three total: Today’s clutch, the Color Pop Clutch and the Tide Pool Wrap Clutch.

Which is your favorite?

This cotton yarn was perfect for this clutch! It’s easy to meet a gauge with it, since it’s a bit finer than other 100% cotton yarns, and it’s easy on the fingers. Does anyone else get a raw spot when working with cotton? I didn’t have that problem with this yarn.  It has a lovely drape as well, I might have to design a summer shawl with this yarn.

Women’s Faded Stripes Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

May 5, 2017 by Bethany 23 Comments

It’s been so hard to crochet this week! Firstly, I haven’t felt very well, and secondly, there is so much that needs to be done around the house and yard. I have also been going through old posts and trying to bring some uniformity to all my patterns, which has proved to be very time consuming.  I have developed a style over the years, but my older crochet patterns look a bit out of place! Today’s free crochet pattern is the Faded Stripes Slouchy Hat. It holds a bit of sentimental value; my Hipster Slouchy, the bottom-up version of this hat, was my very first design. It’s been updated a few times over the years (here is the updated version), but is the same pattern. And I DO try to listen to your comments and ideas, so I know some of you prefer to work a hat from the top down, so this is for YOU!
