Here is a beautiful lacy stitch for a baby blanket or a scarf!
The skill level is intermediate. I'd say this stitch is a bit complicated, but I filmed a detailed video tutorial!
Multiple of 8, plus 3
Row 1: (dc, ch 2, dc2-clustser) all in 3th ch from hook, skip next 3 ch, sc in next ch, *skip next 3 ch, (dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster) all in next ch, skip next 3 ch, sc in next ch* across to last 4 ch, skip next 3 ch, (dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster) all in last ch.
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in top of 1st cluster, ch 3, dc in next sc (make dc right in the middle of sc, because if you simply make it in the top two loops, the stitches on the right side of your work will be shifted; see my video tutorial for visual help), *ch 3, sc in top of 2nd (middle) cluster of next group of clusters, ch 3, dc in next sc* across, end with ch 3, sc in top of last cluster.
Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc in 1st sc, *(dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster) all in next dc, sc in next sc* across.
Row 4: ch 6, turn, sc in top of 2nd (middle) cluster of next group of clusters, ch 3, dc in next sc, *ch 3, sc in top of 2nd (middle) cluster of next group of clusters, ch 3, dc in next sc* across.
Row 5: ch 2, turn, (dc, ch 2, dc2-cluster) all in same 1st dc, sc in next sc, *(dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster, ch 2-, dc2-cluster) all in next dc, sc in next sc* across, end with (dc2-cluster, ch 2, dc2-cluster) all in 3rd (counting from bottom) ch of turning ch-6.

Here is a video tutorial for a quick and easy way to make a beautiful crochet rose! You can make it with different yarns to achieve different sizes and textures.
If you make it with cotton yarn, this could be a lovely face scrubby.
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.
Finished measurements: about 64 inches long and 8 inches wide
Materials:
Snuggly Wuggly by Loops & Threads, one skein, 446 yards
Crochet hook size G/6 (4.25 mm)
Special stitches:
puff stitch: (yarn over, insert hook, draw up a loop) 3 times in same stitch, yarn over, draw through 7 loops
Multiple of 6, plus 2.
Ch 38.
Row 1: (puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch) all in 6th ch from the hook, *skip next 5 ch, (puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch) all in next ch* across to last 3 ch, skip 2 ch, dc in last ch.
Row 2: ch 6, turn, sc in top of 2nd puff stitch of next group of puff stitches, *ch 5, sc in top of 2nd puff stitch of next group of puff stitches* across, end with ch 3, dc in top of turning ch.
Row 3: ch 3, turn, *(puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch, ch 3, puff stitch) all in next sc* across, end with dc in 3rd ch (counting from bottom) of turning ch-6.
Repeat Rows 2-3 for the pattern until scarf measures about 63 inches (or your desired length), end with Row 2.
Last Row: ch 3, turn, *(puff stitch, ch 1, puff stitch, ch 1, puff stitch) all in next sc* across, end with dc in 3rd ch (counting from bottom) of turning ch-6.
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!

I created this pattern back in 2013 and since then I have been getting multiple requests for a video tutorial. But I was reluctant (read scared) to start my YouTube channel. But eventually I did!
And here is the video that so many people asked about! I'm sorry it took me so long!
I am so excited to share that I finally made my first ever crochet video!
For many years, I had been getting questions and requests regarding crochet video tutorials, but I was reluctant to give it a try.
If you think about it, it's quite intimidating putting yourself out there. It's not an easy step.
It was especially not easy for me. English is not my native language. I speak with an accent and make grammar mistakes. I am extremely self-conscious! You can hear in the video (especially in the beginning) that my voice is trembling. I do hope it will get easier with time, and my future videos will be of better quality.
The first video that I made is for the Caron Simply Soft Lace Scarf that I shared the pattern for a couple of years ago.
As I was uploading this video on YouTube, my seven-year old son walked into the room. "What mommy? You are a youtuber now?" he was so surprised. If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he'll answer without hesitation: "A youtuber!"
"Mommy, you set the comments on? Bad choice, mommy! Don't you know who trolls are? Trolls are people who will post nasty things in the comments. They will say really hurtful things, mommy!"
Isn't it sweet how how my son is concerned about someone hurting my feelings?
But life of full of trolls, in one way or another. But it's also full of wonderful, kind-hearted people, who will support you and cheer up for you. I am putting myself out there with these kind people in mind. And trolls, well, I'll have to learn to ignore them.
Hello and welcome! My blog started out of my love for crochet doilies and lace handkerchief edgings, but now you will find all kinds of crochet projects here.
