Did you know the first published crochet pattern was for a “very demure” little vintage purse - a gem straight from the archives! 👛✨ We came across one hidden inside The Ladies’ Knitting and Netting Book from 1840. The pouch is worked in simple single crochet rounds (top tip: for the large pouch, end with 96 stitches, not 100). Saphia jazzed it up with a double crochet filet row and tassel inspired by a fab YouTube tutorial from Just Vintage Crochet. 🎥 Huge thanks to @littleworldofwhimsy for translating this pattern and sharing all the fascinating crochet history on their blog. Find the FREE pattern & more below! 🔗
Skip the chores, stitch the décor! This granny square light switch makeover is the wacky home upgrade you didn’t know you needed. ⚠️ Just a reminder: This is a decorative project only! Make sure your granny squares don’t interfere with the switch, cover any wiring, or use heat-sensitive yarns. Check your switches are not faulty. Stay safe and stitch smart!
Need a little stitch therapy? The Mottled Shade Sweater is the perfect summer crochet project - totally free and worked in the meditative Amostra stitch technique. Made with Paintbox Yarns Cotton 4ply, it’s light, airy, and customizable: crop it or keep it long, go bold or stay neutral. Watch how this dreamy WIP comes together! ☀️ Grab the pattern below!👇
