My Hobby Is Crochet

Looking for a cozy crochet dog sweater pattern for small dogs? The Ribby Dog Sweater is a free crochet pattern featuring a beautiful knit-look ribbed texture that keeps your little pup warm and stylish during chilly days. This sweater is designed especially for small dogs and works up quickly using worsted weight yarn . The pattern includes step-by-step written instructions and helpful photos to guide you through the process. Whether you're crocheting for your own dog or making a handmade gift for a dog lover, this sweater is both practical and adorable.

This stretchy crochet ear warmer/ headband has a great knit-look ribbed texture, reminding of a “knit 1, purl 1” knit ribbing (and stockinette stitch in the middle).

Bring some color in your kitchen or in your bath with this cute and colorful crochet butterfly scrubby. You can use it as a dishcloth or as a washcloth, your choice. Combined with some soap bars or other spa products would make a great present!

The Double-layered Stars Headband/ Earwarmer is a pretty crochet headband featuring the star stitch in the round and a twist at the front. The double layer of stitches provides warmth and comfort without using 2 strands of yarn!

Welcome our next beautiful animal featured in the Wildlife Graphghan Crochet along! It's the Cheetah C2C Square! I really love how this turned out!

My crochet "menagerie" is growing like crazy! :) I really enjoy designing all these c2c critters! After some voting between a badger and a cheetah, the majority of my followers chose the badger as the next animal featured in the Wildlife Graphghan. For the ones that chose the cheetah... don't be sad! Maybe I will feature it in a next post someday in the future. So here we go! Meat my cute little badger! I hope you will love it and add it to your crochet queue!

Wildlife, here we go again! This time we are featuring the Bald Eagle, the national bird of the United States of America. It was a very requested block, so I hope that you will love my version of this majestic creature!

We are adding a new corner to corner animal block to the Wildlife themed Crochet-along on My Hobby is Crochet blog! Square no.25 is featuring an American Bison or Buffalo and it was a reader’s request. I hope you will enjoy this c2c design!

Welcome to a new animal block of the Wildlife Graphghan CAL! This time I’m bringing you a cute kangaroo! It would be awesome to add to an Australian themed blanket, near the Koala , don’t you think? Or you can use it to make a pillow cover, wall hanger, a bag, etc! I hope you will enjoy it!

Welcome to another animal block of the Widlife Graphghan CAL! So many of my followers requested for it! And... Ta-daah! :) I am so happy to introduce you my latest creation, the Hippo C2C Square ! After countless hours of designing, I think it came out pretty amazing! On that light blue background, it seems like the hippo head is just coming out of the water, isn't it? How do you find him? I hope you will love it as much as I do!

There were quite a few requests for a lemur block to be added to the Wildlife Graphghan CAL ; so here it is, the Ring Tailed Lemur C2C Square! I think it came out pretty cool with those staring eyes! :) What do you think? Please let me know in the comments below this post!

Have you followed along with the Wildlife Graphghan Crochet-along ? It was so much fun! So many crocheters made wonderful blankets and shared their pictures on social media! I have enjoyed seeing each and every one of them! Many of you, dear followers, wrote to me saying how much you enjoyed the animals and that you were sad as the Crochet-along ended. I have great news for you! New animals designs are coming! That's right! We are going wild again! :) You will have more animals to choose from, to mix and match the way you like, maybe sort them by habitat, etc. The first new addition to the series is this crazy cute Orang-Utan! I hope you will love it!

This C2C Mandala Flowers Scrubby/ Potholder is made using the technique of the corner to corner crochet with the half double crochet.

Wrap yourself in cozy, timeless style with the Mock Cable Cowl! This crochet cowl features textured, knit-like fabric with beautiful mock cables that add depth and visual interest. Comfy and warm, it's perfect for chilly days when you want both comfort and style.

The Mock Cable Hat is a beautiful knit-look crochet hat, featuring a unique mock cable pattern, a stretchy ribbed brim and a shaped top made with easy short-row decreases. For visual crocheters, I’ve got you covered! A full step-by-step video tutorial is included at the bottom of the written instructions, so you can follow along in the way that works best for you.

If you follow my blog, you might know that I love knit-look crochet stitches! Lately I've been experimenting and creating a stitch pattern that I call the Brick Stitch and Mock Cables with the Yarn Over Slip Stitch !

I can’t believe that the Wildlife Graphghan Crochet along is coming to the end! After 7 months of designing and working on this blanket, it is finally completed! It was such a huge and ambitious project! I am glad and somehow sad at the same time! This blanket it is surely my masterpiece design and I hope that my kids will treasure it for the years to come! We really love how it turned out!
