I’ve been spiraling out a bit with some plant purchases lately. Unfortunately I am not super great at keeping plants alive, so this has been an ongoing mental battle of whether I should bring more unsuspecting plants into my home or not.

Along with potted plants, I also bought a slew of air plants, which are SO fun. Cubbie screeches with delight when I let her hold one in her chubby little hand.

While I was brainstorming ideas for displays for these air plants, I thought how deliciously adorable it would be to have a tiny, miniature-sized belly basket!

Everything is so cute as a miniature version!

I found this extremely tiny (only 4 oz!) pot with some kind of baby palm in it (do you know what it is? I thought Cat Palm but I am not sure!)
Not sure how it will look a week from now, but currently it looks adorable in it’s size-matched crochet belly basket.

The pattern comes with three sizes. The tiny one is suitable for a small airplane or teeny, tiny potted plant or succulent. The next size up will house an 11 oz pot and the larger size hold a 3.8″ x 3.8″ pot.

Even if you aren’t up to keeping a live plant in your belly baskets, these pots are perfect for filling with peat moss and topping with a faux air plant or succulent! Bam, instant greenery.

April 27, 2021 by Bethany 2 Comments

This easy boho crochet garland uses basic crochet stitches and techniques to create a modern piece of crochet decor!

boho crochet garland granny stitch fringe decor crochet pattern

When I had the idea to make this easy boho crochet garland, I was looking through my yarns and decided Billow would be perfect. It has a lovely thick-and-thin texture, and it’s a soft 100% cotton, so it has a gorgeous matte sheen; exactly what I was wanting for this project. I had greens and blues, but found WeCrochet had the yarn in a pretty neutral cream called “Bare Billow Natural.” I have really been gravitating towards neutral colors this warm weather season. Give me a gorgeous creamy off-white! It was so perfect, exactly what I pictured (don’t you just love that!?).

This project uses the time-honored granny stitch, so it’s great for beginners. The twist is that it’s a triangle, so the shape paired with the added fringe gives it a modern infusion. It was quick to make and I just love adding fringe to projects. I can’t decided to hang this in the baby’s room or put on my porch or hang it across the mantel!
The look is so versatile!

*Work 3 dc in next ch 1 sp. Ch 1.* work three times. Work 2 dc in last st. Turn. (38 sts)

You can choose to weave in your ends or use them as added fringe.

CONSTRUCTION:

To create fringe, cut 8 lengths of yarn double the length of the length of the fringe you would like. Attach one piece in each of the space up and down the sides of each triangle. To do this, half your length, push the middle loop through the hole, then pull both end through the loop, pulling to tighten.

Add a fluffy tassel at the very bottom. Wrap yarn around a card about the width of the length you would like your finished tassel to be. Wrap 9 or 10 times. Cut the bottom, leaving the top loops uncut. Pull through the bottom ch space. Tie a shorter length of yarn around the middle, making the lengths into a tassel.

From here, you can sc each triangle together. Starting with one, join at the top right of the raw hypotenuse of the triangle. Sc across this raw edge as evenly as you can.

When you get to the end, grab your second triangle. Without breaking the yarn, and continuing to work as evenly as possible, sc into the first sp of the next triangle and continue sc across it. Repeat with all your triangles until they are all sewn together.

String your crochet garland up to add some pretty to any place!

This project has been on my to-do list for years now, and I could never seem to get it designed and out before Star Wars Day. (May 4th)

This year is the year! I was so pleased with how it turned out. It was fun choosing all the colors and I hope you enjoy that part of your project.

I wanted it to have an Andy Warhol-esque look to it, so pink and yellow were a must. I started with way more colors to decided a pared-down version looked better.

The pattern includes 4 graphs with the different color changes, and also includes helpful color tips to help you decide when to drop or carry the colors, and of course how to put the wall hanging together.

Because the wall hanging is made up of squares, you can also take the individual squares and make other projects like tote bags, wash cloths, or even a full blanket!

Can’t wait to see your creativity!

Summer Crochet Wall Hanging “Beach Please” – CROCHET PATTERN

March 29, 2021 by Bethany 7 Comments

Ready for warmer weather? The bright colors of this summer crochet wall hanging will bring some warm, happy colors to your space. The crochet wall hanging features the snarky play on words “beach please”!

Every spring and summer I try really hard to work ahead and get a bunch of winter and fall designs finished. AND every spring and summer I can’t make myself do it! I can’t pull myself away from crocheting fun summer projects.

This cute Beach Please summer crochet wall hanging has been on my to-do list since last year. I originally wanted to use an ombre yarn that melted softly between 4 beachy colors, but I could not find yarn with the right colors. I decided to ditch the ombre idea and go with a bit more retro look of chunky stripes. Now I was able to choose my own palette!
These colors are exactly what I was hoping for: warm colors that are reminiscent of a lazy, summer sunset and cool colors that look like tropical ocean waters.

I have used Dishie, a yarn by WeCrochet, in a few projects before, so it popped into my mind when I was brainstorming yarns for this project. Dishie is 100% cotton, which is really great for wall hangings. I like using cotton because I love the matte look it has; it also doesn’t give or stretch, which is perfect for the longevity of decor projects.
The colors I chose were Conch, Creme Brûlée, Mint, and Kenai, with Linen as the neutral tan color.

I really liked working this project, it includes a bit of colorwork that creates the words, but then it has the ease of simple sc for the chunky stripes. The graph part is simple colorwork and only alternates between 2 colors, so this is perfect for advanced beginners.

WALL HANGING:

Begin with Kenai. Work a ch-less sc foundation of 40 sts. Turn. (40 sts)

2. – 13. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Kenai. Join Mint.

14. – 26. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Mint. Join Linen.

27. – 50. Work graph. Treat each square as a sc. Turn after each row. Begin each round with a ch 1. Work using Linen and Kenai.

Cut Linen and Kenai. Join Creme Brûlée.

51. – 63. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Creme Brûlée. Join Conch.

64. – 76. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Tie off.
You can choose to weave in ends, but this piece has a right and wrong side, so you can choose to simply knot some of the ends on the back to keep them out of the way.

CONSTRUCTION:

From here, I recommend you block your wall hanging before attaching it to a dowel. The colorwork section may pull in a bit at the sides, so blocking it will help the edges remain clean and straight.

I use a Blockz All, handcrafted by Chetnanigans. Spritz with water before blocking to ensure a lasting effect.

From here, you can add two little tassels in the bottom corners (or add fringe across the bottom)

Then, string a long-ish length of Conch yarn on a darning needle. Work a cast-over stitch across the top row and around your dowel, attaching the fabric to the dowel. Cut another length of yarn, tie both ends to either end of the dowels to hang it from.
