Do you like to decorate your homespace?
I think crochet art looks so beautiful as decorations.


It was late morning. I sat down with my cup of iced coffee and grabbed some yarn from my stash and one of my crochet hooks, wondering what I should make. Some aimless crocheting and lots of frogging gave me this doily coaster set.

When it comes to doilies, I like to make something that resembles flowers because I love flowers! Recently when I was picking out a few blouses for my mom and myself, she said, "You're filling the entire closet with flowers." That was when I realized how many of my belongings resemble flowers or have flowers on them. 

This doily is no different. If you are like me and like some flowery decorations for your homespace, try out this easy crochet doily coaster and flower motif set!

Hello, June! It's officially summer, and here comes another 
happy crochet drawstring bag.


I like to wear cool colors during the warm and sweaty months of summer to contrast with the sunlight's hot shades of yellow, orange, and red because they cool me down, almost literally😌

Summer makes me think of splashing swimming pools, icy drinks, all the lush green plants, the forget-me-not blue sky with puffy clouds, the deep blue sparkling sea, the salty smell of the sea breeze, and also the light, flowy lace fabrics! 

What comes to your mind when you think about summer?

This drawstring bag is a reflection of my idea of summer. Of all the basic crochet stitches, I think the half double crochet stitch is the most unique. There is something very charming about the half double crochet stitch that I love, and I gave it a chance to flaunt its beauty and shine in this project by using the unique texture of the half double crochet stitch to create a sparkling lacy effect. 

Watch the tutorial below to make this simple beginner-friendly drawstring bag now for this summer! 

Materials Needed:
Fine weight (Category 2) 100% cotton yarn 
Crochet Hook: 3.75mm (US F)
Stitch Markers (recommended)
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Stitches (US terms used):
CH = Chain
SLST = Slip Stitch
SC = Single Crochet
