2. Prism Necklace

A pattern as basic as this leaves a lot of room for creativity and personalization. I love how the designer layered the necklaces in the sample above to combine lots of fun colors, but you could stick to one solid color if you want a look that’s more polished.

3. T-Shirt Rug Tutorial

Here’s another great way to use up those old shirts. T-shirt yarn is perfect for rugs since it’s washable and durable. You can even add non-slip material to the back of the rug so you can place it on hardwood floors.

4. Crochet Reversible Baby Blanket

This blanket features large crochet stitches on one side and a fabric of your choice on the other side. No sewing machine is required to attach the fabric. All the stitches can be sewn by hand as an alternative.

The designer adapted this pattern from a turn-of-the-century vintage pattern. The use of the Q hook here means you can stitch this one up in a hurry. Keep it in mind if you have an event coming up and need a quick new accessory!

6. Bulky Beanie

According to the designer, beginners can finish this hat in just two hours, while seasoned crocheters can finish it in under half an hour. Prefer lots of colors to a solid? A variegated yarn would look great, too.

7. Super Bulky Cowl

Even though this yarn is bulky the loose, the open stitches give you plenty of drape. The designer suggests adding a flower for embellishment. Check out the other photos of the pattern to see a few examples.

9. Super Bulky Shawl

This versatile piece can be worn as a shawl or a scarf. You can even seam it to create a cowl or infinity scarf, depending on its length. The shawl works just as well for summer as it does for winter, thanks to those large open stitches.

10. Loop Scarf Cowl

Once you download this pattern, you’re only 30 minutes away from a cozy accessory. I love the stitch definition of the light-color yarn shown here, but this would be beautiful in darker colors, too — especially if those colors complement your outerwear.
