Half double crochet, also called half triple crochet in UK terminology, is a stitch that I personally use the most. It’s a little bit taller than single crochet stitch but creates nice and dense fabric. I am using it for baby soles and cardigans. Half double crochet is very similar to double crochet, but it ends one loop earlier than double crochet.

If you look at the top of the row/round. Each stitch looks like a sideways V or little heart. Each V is made of two loops: the front loop and the back loop.

I have a box of faux leather that has been sitting in a corner of my crafting room for months. I didn’t open it for who knows how long. My initial idea was to try to make leather baby shoes and share the tutorial here on my blog. But because of a lack of my inspiration and time, the box stayed exactly the same since I’ve got it.

Hello, everyone! This time of the year is simply my favorite. Christmas lights, Christmas tree, hot chocolate, and fluffy white snow. It’s magical. This is the only time of the year when I come to the store, buy a bunch of yarn and nobody is looking at me weird because I bought a full basket (or sometimes even more) of yarn. I usually order my yarn online through the year, especially in summer, and this is one of the reasons. …
I believe it’s can be a little late to talk about Christmas ornaments for some of you. Many of you opened the doors of your homes to the holiday spirit two weeks ago when December started. Shopping malls started in the middle of November. Your homes are probably decorated and Christmas trees full of ornaments in your favorite color by now. But even if all the branches of your Christmas tree are full, there is still a place for some …
The season of lights, shopping sprees, cold and hot chocolate has begun. It’s a most festive time of the year that reminds me of family, peace, and happiness. It’s also that time of the year that seasonal crocheters wake up and start crocheting cowls, hats, and mittens for their loved ones. The best gift that you can give to someone is a hand-made gift. Made with pure love and creativity. This is not my first animal baby booties pattern. I’ve …
Hi, hello! Hope you are having a great day. My Autumn days are a bit lazy lately. If I am totally honest with myself I am not so productive as I would like to be. My ambitious thoughts for the Autumn this year were releasing one video and at least one or two blog posts per week. Yep, very ambitious. This year’s snow was very early. My boyfriend and I were returning from the one week trip to our families. The roads were all …
The best gifts are handmade gifts. So many new moms, grandmas, aunts or close family friends decide to make handmade blankets, baby booties, rompers… usually, before the child is born.

And it’s super beginner friendly too. I will break it down into a step-by-step tutorial where you will learn basic …
