Yarn Crafts

Lots of crocheting going on at my house:

Rose scarf pattern found on Lion Brand Yarn webpage:


Heart pillows and crocheted flower pillows inspired by this creative blogger.



Heart pillows are cut from fleece and yarn is worsted weight yarn.

To make pillows, create a heart template then cut out fleece. Sew with yarn using a large needle, making uniform blanket stictches all the way around. Leave opening for stuffing. Stuff heart pillow firmly then close up the edge. Using a crochet hook, crochet single crochets all the way around, adding extra sc on the curved part of the heart, on the blanket stitches. For the next row, do scallops in this manner: *sc, sk 1 sc, on the next sc, do 5 dc, sk sc, then repeat from * pattern all the way around.
