It was great fun to create something you can wear in so little time! It worked up quickly and soon, everyone was proudly showing off a beautiful hoodie for the fall season! The hoodie used a great #6 super bulky weight yarn and a US size P/Q (15-16mm) hook. The same can be said about the wonderful Tonks Hoodie attern by Evelyn Burttram from Happily Hooked #90 (Sept 2021). Whether they made this adorable hat for babies, children, teens, or adults, it seemed like everyone was making this hat in every color. This hat calls for worsted weight cotton yarn to give it stability and shape. Members also love our Sweet Stripes Sunhat pattern by Lisa Fox in Happily Hooked issue #86 (May 2021). (A perfect example of how wonderful our Members' community is!) Although the pattern is rated Easy, it's really suitable for any level crocheter and produces a creation that anyone can be proud to make. One of our Members recently made 50 Octopus Snuggles for her church's charity. This pattern has been around for over 2 years and our Members still make this toy by the dozen for friends, relatives, and even children in need. It's rated Easy and is perfect for someone getting familiar with the art of crochet. One of our Members' favorite patterns is the Octopus Snuggles by Jackie Smith from the February 2020 (#65) issue of Pattern Pack Pro. Next, taking a step up from the Beginner level is the Easy-rated designs. Patterns that are rated for Beginners use basic stitches and require little or no shaping. Using soft and bulky yarn, crocheters can create an expensive-looking, cozy hat and scarf set worthy of gifting to a loved one. Our Keep Calm and Cozy Beanie & Scarf set by Shelly Diaz in Happily Hooked issue #57 (December 2018) is also a beginner-level pattern. It uses #4 worsted weight yarn and a US size G/6 (4.0mm) hook to create a small, cute, and cuddly toy elephant. The Peek-A-Boo Elephant by Cora Carriere is small, cute, cuddly, and perfect for a new crocheter. These patterns also create impressive and satisfying projects, so even a beginning crocheter feels accomplished.Īn adorable Beginner-level routine that many of our Members loved appeared in Happily Hooked issue #92 (November 2021). Happily Hooked's patterns are easy to understand and follow. While we're in the beginning phase, we need simple designs. Or for many others, our mother or grandmother, or other family member teaches us some basic stitches and we want to learn more. For instance, we know someone is having a baby, and we want to make a baby blanket or a toy. Many of us have a reason we start crocheting. Next, let's talk about each skill level in more detail. Read the entire crochet pattern before you start.Count your stitches carefully and often.Read the notes at the beginning of the pattern thoroughly. We recommend that our Members try the patterns they like, with a few helpful hints that will make sense for anyone. When we talk about skills, we basically break them up into four different levels:Īlthough these levels are generally accepted across the community, they aren't hard and fast rules about what you can or have to crochet. So, let me describe what we do at Happily Hooked and what we have that can help you. It's amazing and it's what we try to do every month. I thought, “Do we have more of a particular style than another?” or “Do we concentrate on a specific type of pattern?” but the answer is, “No, not really!” Our designers create patterns for all skill levels and for all purposes. For crocheters of every level and for every type of project. But, the truth is, we have a crochet pattern for everyone. When I started writing this article, I wanted to try to tell you what type of patterns we had - to try to group them into a few simple categories. So, let me tell you what makes Happily Hooked's patterns so great … A Crochet Pattern for Everyone That's thanks to our online archives and the fact that we've been around since 2014.
