I took Sadie for a walk today because it is finally nice out and while we walked I realized something. I got through the winter by crocheting through my grief. I am blessed to be able to stay home while my hubby works and the kids are at school. Normally I use that time for various craft ventures, housework, baking […]
I’m not really sure why I originally decided not to post unless I was posting a tutorial. I felt like that was all I had to share with the world but really it put too much pressure on me. As you will see if look through my posts, I did not finish my November 1 Skein project. I have lots […]
My original name for this Cowl was “Crazy Crochet Lady Who Matches Her Dogs Cowl” but that seemed a tad long 😂. Then my oldest daughter suggested “CCLWMHDC” but I decided that was also too long. I settled for Brindle Cowl because my dogs are both Grey Brindle. Of course you don’t have to use grey and tan like I […]
Regiftable Gift Sack The perfect little sack for some candies or a stuffed animal or maybe a watch or bracelet? Anything you want to gift to someone! This gift bag does have little bobbles but sadly they don’t seem to show very well in this yarn. I will try to find the time to crochet another one in a solid […]
Free Crochet Ornament Pattern This ornament is just my style. It uses up some older yarn that I had leftover and it upcycles some newspaper or flyers. Keeping things out of the trash is something I try to do whenever I can. In fact I think this year I am going to save my Christmas wrapping paper to make these […]
Before I get to the pattern I want to tell you all something. Over the past week something has changed in the way I think about blogging. Now you may be saying but Tracy your blog is only a week old. That’s true but I have been blogging for over 10 years now. My current digital scrapbooking blog is here: […]
I think I need to change the name of the series to Free 1 Skein or Less Crochet Patterns 😂 Today I have a cute little wreath pattern to share with you and it uses a piece of toilet paper tube as it’s base. So bonus points for upcycling something at the same time. Today’s pictures aren’t the best and […]
I made it back for day two! That may not seem like a big deal but really it is. When you suffer from depression and anxiety sometimes following through on things can be difficult. A task that was easy yesterday might seem too big or too much of a bother today. I have committed myself to one pattern each weekday […]
Hello World! Welcome to crochetbytes.com, I’m Tracy 🙂 For the month of November 2018 I will publish a new free pattern every weekday. Because today is now November 2nd, there will be at least one weekday when I publish two free patterns. Yay! The first pattern is a headband. I’m calling it the Stoon Headband. Stoon is the local slang […]
