Crochet this fast and easy Football Can Cozy. It makes a fun gift. You can also choose to your team colors.
Here is an Easy to Crochet Father’s Day gift. A can cozy. It works great for soda and beer cans as well as for beer bottles. I used it using brown and white as a traditional football colors but you could also use your team colors. I have also made these and embroidered the words Dad or Initials instead of adding the laces.
This can cozy uses only basic crochet stitches and works up super fast. It’s also a great way to use up your yarn scraps. I have also included the link to a free Video Tutorial for visual learners. You will find the link on the last page of this post.
Hello everyone, so sorry I’ve been MIA for the last week. I was just finishing up on a major project and it consumed most of my time.
Today I want to share another flower with you. It is super easy to make. You can make 2 or 3 layers or even just one. I just lay them on top of each other and use them to embellish other items such as the flip flops in the photo above. Summer will be here soon and it’s time to dress up those flip flops. I hope you enjoy this project.
Flower: Use different size hooks for different sizes . I used a size G hook. The small flower in the center is worked separately and then sewn onto the 2 layer flower.
To begin: 2-layer flower G Hook (Medium weight yarn)
Chain 5, sl st into 1st ch
Round 2: ch 4, (3 ch counts as 1dc), *sc into circle, ch 3*, rep from * to * 3 more times, ch 3, sc into 1st ch
Round 3: * sl st into the ch-3 space (to work petals inside these spaces), ch 3, 8 dc into ch-3 sp, ch 3, sc into same ch-3 space * repeat until you have completed all 5 petals, sc into 1st st. (If you like the way this looks you can fasten off after this layer and you’re done).
Push petals to the front.
Ch 4: *ch 5, sc into next sc,* rep until you have worked all 5 petals. You will be creating ch-5 loops behind the first row of petals.
Ch 5: (change colors – optional) ch 4, [11 tbc in next ch-5 sp, ch 4, sc into same ch-5 sp], sl st into next ch-5 sp,* rep from * to * in each petal, ch 4, sl st into 1st st
Top Layer is made separately and sold on top :
Small 5 petal flower: G hook
Ch 4, sl st into 1st ch to form circle
Round 2: *ch 3, 2dc (into circle) sc into circle* rep from * to * until you have worked 5 petals, sc, fasten off.
You can sew this small flower on top of your other 2 layer flower.

Do you ever feel nostalgic for days gone by? Well, okay I have to admit that sometimes I do. I love to look thru old books and see romantic movies with all of those wonderful Victorian fashions. I don’t know how wonderful it would actually be if I had to wear those corsets or other uncomfortable clothing. But, hey they look nice. With that in mind I designed this baby bonnet. It reminds me of those little vintage bonnets. It is easy to make and uses basic stitches. If you are a blog member you will receive an email with a coupon code that can be used at my Ravelry store.

GAUGE: 12 single crochet + 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
HAT
Leaving a long tail, chain 55.
Row 1: Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook and each chain across – 54 stitches.
Row 2: Chain 1, turn. Single crochet in each stitch across.
Repeat Row 2 until piece measures about 9 in. (23 cm) from beginning. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
FINISHING
Thread tail into blunt needle, then sew in and out along last row. Pull (like a drawstring) to gather top of hat and knot. Sew seam. Weave in ends.
If you are more of a visual learner and prefer a video tutorial you are in luck. I did a tutorial of this hat a while ago. Enjoy!
Crochet S’mores are so fun to make, look yummy and best of all have no calories. I enjoy making things just for fun and crochet food fits the bill for me. I wanted to make something that my granddaughter would like. I made her these Crochet Smores. They are easy and work up very quickly. I am sharing the written pattern along with a link to a free YouTube video if you are a visual learner or just prefer to watch a video tutorial. Enjoy!
