Fun things to do with Crochet

Winter is coming. This season brings fluctuating temperatures and frigid weather as the sun sets at its lowest point in the sky. The nights are getting longer, the days are getting shorter, and there’s plenty of time, so plenty of yarn! But what should you do now? we will help you! Let’s try crochet! The word crochet means “hook” in French and refers to the art of knitting loops of thread, thread, or other material together with a crochet hook to create a fabric. Aside from the tools used in manufacturing, the main difference between crochet and knitting is that in crocheting each stitch is finished before starting the next one, whereas in knitting several stitches are opened at once. Some crochet variations, such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick, allow several crochet stitches to be left open at once. We have for you, a few very cool ideas to try out with crochet.

1. POTHOLDERS

Are you or someone you know a big fan of baking or cooking? If so, a potholder is the perfect crochet craft to try out, since this is a simple project that is worked in flat rows.

2. COASTERS

If you are a big tea or coffee drinker, you know how essential a good coaster is when youā€™re sitting and relaxing with a tasty beverage. These simple crafts tend to follow a circular design, and are easy to fit just about anywhere in your home.

3. SHAWLS

Pick up some solid-coloured yarn to create a monochromatic look, or pick up some multi-coloured yarn to achieve a specific aesthetic. Although they can take a little bit of time to complete, the stitch patterns are repetitive.

4 HEADBANDS OR EAR WARMERS

Headbands and ear warmers earn you style points while also keeping you warm. This simple craft does not take very long to make and is a perfect gift for the holidays or a winter birthday.

5. ACCESSORIES

Crocheted accessories add a cute, rustic charm to your everyday look. From leg warmers and bags to scrunchies and earrings, thereā€™s no limit to the accessories that you can make!
