How do you make these Crochet chain Easter eggs?

Make long crochet chains using your yarn and crochet hook. I made mine around 180cms.

Once done, start wrapping your Easter eggs from one end using glue as you go. I started on the flatter side and finished on the pointy side.

When you reach the top cut the chain and just hot glue it down.

Your decorative egg is ready!

Make a whole lot and use them wherever you want!

Notes:

You can even finger-knit a long crochet chain and use that! So even if you do not have any crochet hooks, you can still make these!

Do not use too much hot glue as it will come through the chain and look messy.

Get creative and stick tiny crochet flowers or beads etc.

If you try these out or if you liked this idea, please leave me a comment below. I love hearing from you!

Do share a picture with me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog if you make them.

10 Free and Easy Crochet Flower Patterns

March 15, 2022 No Comments

These 10 free and easy Crochet flower patterns are bright and cheery and so easy to make! Make these little beauties and use them in so many ways. For example, on hair clips, like earrings, headbands, keychains, bags, gift wrapping, wall hangings., etc. The possibilities are endless really!

With spring around the corner, what better way to cheer us up than some pretty handmade flowers?!

I tried all these FREE flower patterns and thought I would share them in one blog post.

Use up all your leftover yarn and scraps! They are easy, quick, and turn out so beautiful!

Let’s get straight to it!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE CROCHET FLOWERS?

Yarn, crochet thread, or embroidery floss

Crochet hook

Gold beads (optional)

Yarn needle ( for sewing in ends)

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE CROCHET FLOWERS?

Here are the different free patterns that I tried:

SUNFLOWERS:

This free pattern is from the Hopeful Turns You Tube channel. These sunflowers are so cute and make great earrings! I looked at many patterns but settled on this one as it looked like a sunflower. Besides that, the Hopeful Turns You Tube channel is a great resource for learning crochet and also for lovely free patterns. She explains very well and even a beginner can learn easily. I used embroidery floss and a size 1.5mm crochet hook to make these cute little sunflowers. These are going to be made into earrings, as I plan on introducing a Spring Flower earring collection in my Etsy shop!

wouldROSEBUD WITH LEAF

This is the cutest little flower that you will ever see! It is also the easiest and quickest one to make. You can find the free tutorial on the Fiber Flux YouTube channel.

For this little rosebud and leaf, I used size 10, Aunt Lydia’s crochet cotton thread.

You can also find a cute and easy rose necklace and earring set at the Yarnbowl Crochet YouTube channel.

LILAC

Golden Lucy Crafts has these cute lilac flowers on her blog. Easy and quick to make as well, you can find a detailed post on how to make them and even a video. Please visit her blog to see how it’s done.

Also, while you are at her blog, do check out this great idea using crocheted flowers as wall decor!

I used embroidery floss and a size 1.3mm crochet hook to make these flowers. These will be included in my Spring Flower collection coming soon to my Etsy shop!

DAISIES

These daisies are by Creggy’s crochet YouTube channel, follow her tutorial to make these cute flowers.

I used embroidery floss and a size 1.5mm crochet hook for these daisies. These earrings will be added to my Etsy shop soon as part of my Spring Flower collection.

FIVE PETAL FLOWER

These flowers are from a diagram pattern on Pinterest. I already have these flowers as earrings on my blog in the post 10 free earring patterns.

They can be made as flower motifs, I tried making these flowers with velvet yarn, crochet thread, and cotton yarn. They are easy to make and look really pretty. Add a bead or pearl in the center for a really good look, as I did in some hair clips on my blog post-Crochet Hair Accesories

You can find my flower earrings based on this pattern here in my Etsy shop.

FOUR PETAL FLOWER

The pattern for this flower is on Pinterest here. This is also a diagram pattern. I used cotton yarn to make these flowers.

YARN FLOWERS

These yarn flowers by Flo and dot are really cute and very bright and cheery. Do check out her Instagram page and blog for this and many more lovely patterns! Her color choices and patterns will just brighten your day! The pattern for these flowers is on one of her posts about these flowers, just click on her beautiful pictures and you will be sure to find it on Instagram.

For making these flowers I used cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby and a 4.5mm crochet hook.

I will be trying her very pretty Knitting Needle Flowers next!

PUFF FLOWERS

The pattern for these cute and dainty flowers can be found here on stringbbeans Youtube channel.

I used embroidery thread and a gold bead in the center.

DOUBLE COLORED FLOWERS

This pattern is a diagram found on Pinterest. Check it out here. In the picture, the flowers are worked all in one color but I worked the center in one color and the petals in another color. Again for this flower, i used embroidery thread and a 1.5mm hook.

LONG PETAL FLOWERS

I cannot seem to recall the pattern I used for these flowers, when I find the link I will share it. Until then this pattern from Pinterest is very similar.

Let me know if you try any of these flowers. Do leave a comment down below or share pictures with me on Instagram and Facebook. Please do follow me on PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM, and FACEBOOK @lovetostayhomeblog to know when I post something new.

NOTES:

When working with embroidery thread I used all 6 strands. But if you like you could use just 3 or 4 threads for a more delicate flower.

The size of your crochet hook will change according to the thickness of your yarn or thread. For most of these flowers, I used a 1.5mm crochet hook. But if working with yarn, use a bigger hook.

Thank you to all these wonderful artists for sharing these beautiful patterns with us for free.

Spring Flower Crochet Garland

February 18, 2022 No Comments

This Spring Flower Crochet Garland will add that pop of color and brighten any space in your home!

It can be hung on a mantle, a shelf, a wall, a window, wherever you think needs some color. I put it in my closet that I converted to my workspace! Especially after a dull winter, it makes sense to brighten your home.

Making something handmade and being creative are the 2 things that make me happy! I hope it is the same for you, if not why not give it a go and see what inspires you! I have a post about 10 fun hobbies, do check it out if you need some inspiration!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS SPRING FLOWER CROCHET GARLAND?

Crochet thread or yarn – I used size 10 Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread

Crochet hook size 1.65mm or 1.90mm

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS SPRING FLOWER CROCHET GARLAND?

This is the pattern from Pinterest that I used to crochet the flowers. This is a diagram pattern. If you need help reading these kinds of patterns, there is a great article by Yarnspirations on how to read crochet symbols. I prefer following diagrams to written patterns!

If you like following written patterns, I will attempt to write the pattern down! I am definitely not a pro at writing patterns, so this is my humble attempt at it!

CROCHET FLOWER PATTERN (in US terms)

DC – Double crochet

Crochet 10 chains and join with a slip stitch.
Make 3 chains (counts as first DC), DC 23 times into the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the 3rd chain at the beginning.
Chain 3, and I DC together. 5 chains and 2 DC together in 3rd DC below (skip 2 dc), repeat pattern, and join with a slip stitch to the top of the first 3 chains and dc together.
Slip stitch into the 5 chain space, * (Single crochet, 7 DC, single crochet) in the 5 chain space. Repeat * pattern in every 5 chain space around and end with a slip stitch. Finish off and weave in ends. I made one flower in each color thread that I had.

If you have any questions please ask me in the comments below. I will get back to you.

After all the flowers are done, start a crochet chain and attach the flowers as you go. I crocheted about 40 chains at the beginning and about 20 chains in between each flower. Join the flowers with a few slip stitches on top of the flower to the chain.

You can crochet as many flowers as you like depending on how long you want the garland.

The one I made is around 2 feet. And I crocheted 8 flowers.

To hang the garland up you can use tape or tie it to something using the crochet chain.

Flower crochet garland — I tied my garland in my “office closet”!

Spring flower crochet garland — Here it is hung up on a door.

NOTES:

If you use yarn, you have to use a bigger crochet hook and your flowers will be bigger. But your garland will be just as cute!

This can be used as decor for a child’s room year-round.

If you liked this spring crochet garland and will be trying it out, please share a picture with me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog.

Crochet Car Coasters

January 23, 2022 No Comments

Crochet car coasters are easy to make and solve a very common problem – messy cup holders!

They line the cup holders and keep them clean, and since they are made from cotton yarn, they are washable and reusable.

These cup holders need just a little yarn and can be made in no time! So go ahead and make yourself some.

These coasters measure 3.2 inches in diameter.

These coasters are available in my Etsy shop in case you do not know how to crochet. Or if you just do not feel like making them yourself!

Click here to go to my shop.

What are the supplies for making these Crochet Car Coasters?

Cotton yarn

Crochet hook 4.5mm

Yarn needle

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

How do you make these Crochet Car Coasters?

I followed this pattern from the blog lifeawayfromtheofficechair.com

I found that it was too small so I added one more row.

For the last row, chain one, single crochet in next stitch, chain one, single crochet in next stitch. Do this all around and finish with a slip stitch into the first chain. Finish off.

Cut the yarn and use the yarn needle to weave in the ends of the yarn.

That’s it your coaster is ready! Now make one more and you can use them in your car!

Notes:

I suggest you measure your car cup holder size before starting so that you can adjust the coaster accordingly.

Nearly every car cup holder is slightly different.

Weave the ends in well so that they do not come out when you wash the cup holders.

I recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry.

If you do try making these please tag me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog, I would love to see them!

Heart Crochet Garland

January 12, 2022 No Comments

This Heart crochet garland is quick to make and looks really nice on a mantle, a shelf, a window, just about anywhere that needs some love!

The hearts are crocheted separately and then connected together on a long crochet chain.

I usually do not decorate my home for every season and holiday, but lately, I like hanging a garland on my mantle and changing it up for every holiday.

So here is my Valentines’ garland if you would like to give it a try! I used thick acrylic yarn so it’s really easy to work with especially if you are a beginner. So this is a beginner-friendly project.

If you do not know how to crochet and would like to learn, please check out my earlier posts:

What do you need to make this Heart Crochet Garland?

Red acrylic yarn/Cotton/ Any blend is fine too ( or any color of your preference)

Crochet hook – size J (6mm)

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

How do you make this Crochet Heart Garland?

Make 12 hearts ( more or less for a longer or shorter garland) following this free pattern. I found this pattern on Pinterest, it is actually for a heart basket but the diagram is for the base which is a heart.

If you would like help reading diagram patterns, please check out this article from Yarnspirations.

After making all the hearts. Start a crochet chain, on the 15th chain add the top of the first heart with a slip stitch, chain 4 and add the other top half of the heart with a slip stitch.

Next, make about 10 chains and add the next heart. Keep going till all the hearts have been added. Your crochet heart garland is ready.

The heart garland that is shown here measures a little over 5 feet (around 65 inches).

Hang it up wherever you like and enjoy your garland!

December 19, 2021 No Comments

Crochet Christmas star coasters are very simple to make. Use them on your tabletops, desks, side tables, etc. they are very versatile and can be used for cups, small pots, candles, or little trinkets.

I love changing out my coasters for different seasons! It’s fun to keep changing out your decor every few months, it does make a difference. Coasters are the one thing that are so easy to make and can be customized to any color, shape, and style.

They are made with 100% cotton yarn and can be washed. They make great gifts too!

A set of 4 coasters can be made in under an hour. You can get about 10 coasters from one skein of yarn. Spray them with starch to stiffen them but it’s not necessary.

100%cotton yarn

Crochet hook size 5mm

Yarn needle

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

How do you make these Crochet Christmas Star Coasters?

I followed a diagram pattern to make these coasters. You can find it here on Pinterest.

Just make the coaster as shown. Next, using the yarn needle, weave the ends of the yarn at the back of the coaster and cut off the excess.

That’s it your coaster is ready!

Notes:

You could use a 4.5mm crochet hook as well.

To weave in the ends, with a yarn needle weave the thread in opposite directions to secure.

I used stiffen quick to stiffen the coasters, but as I mentioned before it is not necessary.

If you need to wash the coasters, I recommend hand washing them and laying them flat to dry. Reshape them and spray some starch if needed.

I used neutral colors so they can be used all year long, but you could use red, green, white to give them the Christmas look!

Hope you will try these out and if you do, please share on Instagram with me @lovetostayhomeblog, I would be happy to see your creations!

Crochet Christmas Earrings (All free patterns!)

November 20, 2021 2 Comments

I am so excited to bring you these Crochet Christmas Earrings!

I love Christmas time. It’s such a lovely time of year. I think it is one of the few times a year that everyone dresses up. And what’s better than having some beautiful handmade crochet earrings to match your outfits?!

These crochet earrings are beautiful, use just a little thread, and can be made in no time!

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE CROCHET CHRISTMAS EARRINGS?

Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Cotton Size 10 in Christmas colors – I used red, white, and green

Crochet hook – size 1.90mm

Stiffen Quick (optional but recommended)

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I love and know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE CROCHET CHRISTMAS EARRINGS?

The patterns for all these 6 earrings are mentioned below. All are free patterns.

To assemble the earring:

Stiffen the crochet piece by spraying with Stiffen Quick, once dry attach a jump ring and earring hook to make the earring.

Attach a jump ring to the top of the finished crochet earring. Add an earring hook to the jump ring using a jewelry plier. That’s it!

CHRISTMAS TREE EARRINGS:

These beauties are from a YouTube video by Creggy’s crochet. You can find the video here.

It is easy to follow the pattern and a pair of earrings can be made in less than an hour.

CHRISTMAS SNOWFLAKE EARRING:

– these simple crochet snowflake earrings look so pretty and dainty. You can find the pattern here.

CHRISTMAS BOW EARRINGS:

I thought these bows were really cute! The pattern for the bow is from Pinterest, it is a picture pattern. I actually like diagrams better than written patterns, I feel they are easier to follow!

If you need help reading diagrams, you can take a look at this helpful article from joyofmotioncrochet.com

I found this free written pattern from daisycottagedesigns.net if you prefer following a written pattern.

I made the bow, next I added 6 jump rings one into the other to make a chain. Next, I added the earring hook. That’s it! The bows work up very fast. I think I made 2 bows in 10 minutes or less!

CHRISTMAS MINI CIRCLE EARRINGS:

These earrings I actually included in one of my previous posts 10 crochet earrings – all free patterns!

I used 2 crochet buttons connecting them with a jump ring. The pattern of these cute buttons is from Marrose – Colorful Crochet and Crafts.

STAR EARRINGS:

Find the pattern for these earrings here.

This pattern was also in a previous post of mine but in a different color. They are called birthday earrings, but I thought they look like a star and made them in white for Christmas.

DUAL COLORED CHRISTMAS FLOWER EARRINGS:

I think these look like a poinsettia! These earrings are made with 2 colors of thread.

The pattern can be found here.

This pattern is a hand-drawn pattern that I found on Pinterest. It is the first one in the picture. When making this earring hold 2 colors of thread and follow the pattern.

NOTES:

To make these earrings I used a 1.90mm crochet hook. Usually, when working with this fine crochet cotton, you can use 1.5mm to 2.5mm crochet hooks. When you buy the thread, it does give you which size hook to use on the label.

To finish off the earring, use a yarn needle to weave in the ends for a neat look.

You can use spray starch to stiffen the earrings, my recommendation is Stiffen Quick, it is available on Amazon and Craft Stores.

Hope you enjoyed this post, if you happen to make any Christmas earrings, do share them with me on Instagram @lovetostayhomeblog

Thank you to the lovely people who created these patterns and shared them for free!

Crochet Bath Scrubbers

October 11, 2021 No Comments

These Crochet Bath Scrubbers can replace the plastic poofs most people use. I’ve been trying to find a good eco-friendly option to use myself, these fit the bill as they are made of 100% cotton yarn. Moreover, they can be washed, dried, and re-used.

It is a beginner-friendly project and works up quite fast. I have made these and have been using them for about 3 to 4 months now. I always like sharing crochet projects that I personally make, use, and am happy with.

Please don’t expect them to lather up like a bath pouf, then you will be very disappointed! They do not produce lots of foam but get the job done! I am happy with how they work, and using them as a replacement for the plastic mesh poof I was using is a small step to being more eco-friendly.

You can make a whole stack and use them in rotation. Make a smaller version and they can also be used as face-scrubbers.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE CROCHET BATH SCRUBBERS?

These as always the very basic supplies needed for any crochet project.

Cotton yarn ( I got mine from Joann’s)

Crochet hook size 5mm

Yarn needle

(Disclaimer: These are affiliate links, which means if you buy any of these recommended products, I will receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. Please know that I only recommend products that I love and know to be of great quality. Thank you so much for your support!)

HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE CROCHET BATH SCRUBBERS?

I followed a pattern from the Hobby Lobby website that worked best for this. You can find it here. The pattern is actually for a dish scrubber but I decided to test it as a bath scrubber, and it does work well!

This easy pattern uses a magic circle to start, and double crochets all around. It has just 3 rows! Just click the link above to get the pattern. You make two circles and join them with single crochet all around. Next, you make the strap at the back and join it on both sides using a yarn needle.

I tried one earlier which you can find here: 5 easy crochet projects The pattern was just a single crochet circle with a loop as a handle. It did not work well, so I kept looking for different patterns and finally settled on this one.

If you are a beginner or an expert, this is an easy fast project to do. It took me around 45 minutes to an hour to make one. ( with many interruptions in between!)

Crochet bath scrubbers — The back of the scrubber with a handle.

NOTES:

To use these, all you have to do is wet the scrubber and put some soap on it. Have a bath, once you are done just wash it and squeeze it dry, hang it up. I wash mine once every week in the washing machine and hang it to dry.

The handle does tend to stretch over time, but it is still usable, as mentioned before I have had mine for the past 3 months.

These are soft and you can experiment with different brands of cotton yarn to find the best one that suits you.

You can replace them every 4 months or so, it just depends on the quality of yarn used.

Be sure to check out the other patterns for dish scrubbers from Hobby Lobby at the same link, they have a cute pineapple and watermelon!

If you do not know how to crochet, it is very easy to learn. Do check out my earlier posts about crochet for many resources to learn how to crochet.
