I mixed a free pattern for the pot with improvisation based on multiples others for the leaves and the suspender.

Not sure why the eyes are weird even after blocking. Need to try it again.

I wind all my yarn into cakes. Hanks of course, but even skeins. I am curious what other fiber artist do when they work with their yarn. What format do you prefer when crocheting?

White is popcorn stitch, teal is bobble stitch. No pattern, I just decreased every third stitch in the alternate sc row.

Hey Guys. I'm not one to post to often but I absolutely love crocheting etc so I wanted to help keep it active here My work aint great but its something Pattern belongs to xicotetinfo@gmail.com

This bag was great to make. Enough variation in the rows to keep me interested and quick to crochet. I used acrylic yarn from gifted stashes instead of cotton. It took 12 hours over 3 weeks. https://richtexturescrochet.com/uptown-market-bag-crochet-pattern/

You can search patterns by quite a few criteria, like difficulty, technique, amount of yarn, etc. I also love to browse the photos for inspiration and you can talk to other users. Signups are free. No, I don't work for them.

I figured this community could use a little content! I freehand crocheted this bag last August using the magic circle to start the bottom, mosaic crochet for the body, double crochet for the flap, and spiral rope crochet for the straps. The button was purchased from a vendor on Etsy.
