かぎ針編み クリスマスツリー

Free crochet pattern "Christmas tree"

This is a crocheted project: a simple crocheted Christmas tree. When the city is in a Christmas mood, thoughts of winter vacation and the end of the year begin to take shape. Christmas is not just about Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but also about the preparations and anticipation. Getting into the Christmas spirit, I decided to make a mini Christmas tree at home...

Crochet Detail: How to Make a Soft, Round Yarn Pom-pom

2025/5/4    

How to Make Yarn Pom-poms: It's common to add pompoms to crocheted hats, etc. We hope this guide will be helpful in those situations. Here, we'll explain how to make pompoms using cardboard. Our free crochet patterns also include projects using pompom decorations, such as a "Children's Beret with Pom-poms.".

かぎ針編み ボンボンつき子どもベレー帽

Free crochet pattern: "Children's beret with pompoms"

This is a crocheted project. As the wind gets chillier, it's almost time for knit hats. I tried crocheting a beret. I recently came across a beautiful beret with a lantern in a book. The photo shows three children wearing berets. The top-down shot of their heads lined up together is so cute, I couldn't help but love it.

かぎ針編み ハロウィーンのかぼちゃ

Free Crochet Pattern "Halloween Pumpkin"

This is a crocheted project. Fall is well underway, and Halloween is just around the corner. Halloween is all about orange and black, pumpkins with black hats, and ghosts. I tried crocheting a ghost pumpkin. In Sapporo, during Tanabata, children carry lanterns and go around the neighborhood, yelling, "Bring out the candles, bring out the candles!" to get candy.

かぎ針編み 小さな小さなバッグたちⅡ

Free crochet pattern "Tiny Bags II"

This is the kind of crochet project I made. This time, I tried making a miniature crochet handbag. The navy bag with white stripes is a miniature with an integrated handle. It's made with medium-weight yarn, so it's a little large and sturdy. It fits three candies. It would make a great souvenir for a little friend. The heathered green bag is a flat tote bag...

かぎ針編み 小さな小さなバッグたち

Free crochet pattern "Tiny Bags"

This is a crocheted project. It's a very small, palm-sized mini basket made with crochet. I'm imagining a small market bag or bucket tote. I could display it as an ornament or put a small letter inside. I could also hang a mini mini bag on the bag as an ornament. It's small and quick to crochet, so I'm looking forward to using it in different colors...

かぎ針編み ギンガムチェックのマット

Free crochet pattern "Gingham check mat"

This is the crochet project I made. When I'm choosing fabric, I always think of gingham, even though it's a classic. I've always had a vague desire to crochet gingham. I've gathered some yarn in just the right colors, so I decided to give it a try. From a distance, doesn't it look like it? It's thick, too...

かぎ針編み 子どもシルクハット

Free crochet pattern: Children's top hat

This is the kind of crochet project I made: a top hat that would be easy for boys to wear. I thought the black, pointed tricorn hats for Halloween were cute, so I asked my brother if I could make one for him, but he said, "But that's for girls, isn't it?" It certainly does have the image of a witch's hat. A boy's version would be a top hat...

かぎ針編み りすのドイリー

Free crochet pattern "Squirrel Doily"

This is the kind of crochet project I made. I tried crocheting a doily, which could be considered crochet or lace. I've always wanted to make a doily of my own design, and this time I tried a squirrel pattern. I crocheted it with the intention of just trying it out, but even a project that can be completed in a short amount of time gives a sense of accomplishment and is fun. Grid knitting...

かぎ針編み くす玉

Free crochet pattern "Kusudama"

This is a crocheted piece. I thought making something like this would require some eccentricity, but I ended up making it anyway. It's a paper confetti ball made by wrapping paper around something with crochet. While playing with origami, my brother said, "I want to tear the pieces and just throw them away." It made me realize that paper confetti and paper confetti balls are actually quite rare.
