This adorable ruffle skirt is crocheted using Red Heart Boutique Sassy Fabric , a soft fabric strip with evenly spaced holes you can crochet into.

It's again that wonderful time of year! Happy Nicholas Day! As tradition in Germany (and other European Countries) the 6th December is Saint Nicholas Day and the stockings (or boots) are filled with goodies overnight! The children who have behaved well during the year are receiving from Saint Nicholas small presents and sweets. :) I have designed the Dreamy Stocking for my smallest one to take to Kindergarten for Nikolaus Day. I hope that you (and your children) will love it as much as we do!

In my previous blog posts I have shown you how to crochet the perfect  "Knit 1, Purl 1" Ribbing and the Crochet Stockinette Stitch using the yarn over slip stitch. Now it's time to show you how to crochet the perfect "Knit 2, Purl 2" Ribbing!

Do you like the knit look, but you don't know how to knit, or maybe you're just like me and prefer crocheting? I have knitted for many years, since my childhood and I really like the knit look, but crocheting is so much faster and I just love working with my hooks. That's why I have always tried to find some ways to imitate the knit look! I have been playing with some crochet stitches and I think that I made a great discovery! For me, at least! :) So, if you love the look of the knit Stockinette Stitch, this tutorial might be just something for you!

If you follow along with my blog, you might have already learned how to crochet the knit look crochet stitches that I call the Yarn Over Slip Stitch (yo-slst) and the Yarn Over Slip Stitch Back Loops Only (yo-slst-blo) . These are not standard crochet terms, because I have not seen these stitches in any crochet stitch dictionary. They are some combination between half double crochet and slip stitch. In this blog post I will show you how to crochet another variation of this stitch, the Yarn Over Slip Stitch worked into the 3rd Loop at Front (yo-slst into 3rd loop at front) or the Yarn Over Slip Stitch into 3rd loop below the front loop!

Get rid of your kitchen sponges and crochet a scrubby instead! This Dahlia Palm Scrubby is not only so much prettier as a sponge, but it's also machine washable, helping you keep the bacterias away.
