DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PDF PATTERN HERE If you've been following us in our Happy Handicrafts Crochet Series, you'll know that we've created some beautiful items so far, all without a pattern. We chose to avoid written patterns initially for several reasons. First of all, reading a crochet pattern is like reading a foreign language. If you're not familiar with all of the terminology and lingo, adding a pattern to our learning curve will only cause frustration and overwhelm. I also wanted you to see how crochet works without a pattern. If you can visualize the shape...

It allows you to tightly close the hole that will exist when beginning your circle. This is especially useful when creating a stuffed animal, for example, with amigurumi. The magic circle is a stitch that you will use over and over again. It's worth spending some time practicing it,...

I was years into crochet when I finally learned that you can improve your crochet with the magic knot. For a long time, when attaching two pieces of yarn together, I was tying a knot and weaving the two ends in. It always bothered me that this technique left a lump and required more work, but I didn't know a better way. Until I found the magic knot. The magic knot is a way to join two balls of yarn, whether you are starting a new skein, or just changing colors. It creates a much...
