The pattern can be easily adjusted to other projects too, such as a baby blanket. I included the multiple for the stitch in the pattern. 



The free written pattern is available on my website:

Freehand, Freestyle, Freeform Crochet Lace Technique, Crochet Lace Coasters, Crochet Video Tutorials


I made myself a set of new coaters! I like how my coasters have irregular shape, which gives them a modern look!


I used crochet cotton thread size 10 and a steel hook size 1.25 mm. 

Usually when I work with size 10 thread, I used 1.5 or 1.75 mm hook, but for this project I wanted my stitches to be especially tight and neat, so I went with a smaller size hook. 



The technique for this crochet lace involves using chains, slip stitches, and single crochets. 



I made a detailed video tutorial for this freehand/freestyle crochet technique, and I also made a video on how to make such coasters. 

I hope you'll enjoy them! Happy Crocheting!

White Lace Spring Scarf, Free Crochet Pattern and Video Tutorial


Hello Crocheting Friends,

Today I present you yet another lacy scarf made with chains, puff stitches, and single crochets. 

The pattern is quite easy, and there are only two repeating rows. 


This stitch is very light and airy and I think it will work nicely for a baby blanket too!

Lilac Lace Spring Scarf Free Crochet Pattern and Video Tutorial


I am really enjoying making scarves in beautiful lace designs and delicate spring colors right now. 

For my next scarf I chose soft lilac color. I used one skein of Snuggly Wuggly by Loops & Threads yarn and a hook size G (4.25 mm).


For the stitch pattern I used a combination of chains, double crochets, and puff stitches. 


The scarf can be easily made into an infinity scarf. Don't make the last row, and simply stitch the ends together. Make sure to flip one end to the other side to form a twist. 



I hope you will enjoy my pattern. I filmed a video tutorial for it as well. I only recently started my Youtube channel, and I greatly appreciate my new followers and supporters! Thank you! 

Feel free to leave me comments either here or on Youtube regarding what kind of crochet videos you would like to see in the future! 

Happy crocheting!
