I'm so excited to share with you my latest design! I had this idea to use my logo to create a graphgan. I'd never made a graphgan myself before and thought it would be too much work, to much yarn and oy, those color changes! So many ends to weave!
I have made c2c blankets and I love the stitch, so I decided to just jump in with it!
I recently learned mini c2c stitch, basically you use a hdc stitch instead of a dc so it uses less yarn and make a smaller square. I fell in love even more!
I designed 9 whimsical squares and have a few ideas for more. I'll be posting about 2 squares a week over the next 5 weeks! The last week I'll share the last square and border I used. I'm not holding an official Crochet along but if you want to make one as I post each week. I'll be fresh to answer questions along the way. You are welcome to post on my facebook page, group or tag me on instagram @calleighsclips so we can have fun together!
Since I used the mini c2c stitch all my info will be based off that but feel free to have fun with this.
Use a different stitch, c2c, bobbles, sc, your preferred graph method.
You can use different colors, yarn sizes or hook choices.
You are not stuck on what I use. Be creative and have fun!
If you are a planner like me, I have a materials list for the whole blanket. If you have a decent stash like I do I had every thing on hand already. I'm doing good sticking to my no - new yarn ban.
See Release Schedule at the end of the post!
Be sure to add this to your Raverly Favorites and link up your projects so I can see your progress.
Watch for the next square later in the week.
Curious what the other squares might be???
It's all based off my logo! So you'll just have to wait and see what's next! I hope to design more bonus squares too! You can do so much more than just a blankets! Pillows, Wall hangings, purses and more! Enjoy!
If you follow crochet trends you've for sure seen the surge in messy bun or ponytail hats! I love the idea. I connected with it as a runner sometimes you need more than just an ear warmer but you still want your hair off your neck. Some think it's silly and a year ago I might have said the same thing because I had a pixie hair cut. I would have no use for it LOL. I've let my hair grow now so I just really loved the idea. I've made a ton of them and I look forward to making more! You can buy a finished one from my Etsy shop
I know there have been a surge of pattern so I wanted think a little different. Most I've seen are super bulky/chunky or basic. I thought My Key Tab Series Stitch would be easy to adapt to a bun hat but give it a light, lacy look that cozy but not to thick. especially if your weather isn't super cold.
I also decided it would be fun to write doll size, kids, youth and women's! This is a very easy pattern to adjust size or height to as well. I'll give some tips for that too if you do need to adjust . I hope you enjoy my design on this new popular favorite!
I also found this amazing new yarn that is my current favorite! You know I love Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn Worsted. They came out with a few amazing color ways that are what I call twisted Rainbow colors. Even though they are Worsted the texture reminds me of a mix between Lion Brand Heartland and Simply Soft. I'm in love with the colors! I've picked up 4 different ones and I think there might be one or two more other mixes too.
Worsted Weight Yarn of Choice: In my samples I used the following: Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn - Worsted Weight (4) *Brights (rainbow/jewel tones, Blue Multi (blue/purple/pinks) or Lion Brand Heartland Worsted Weight (4) (as I used in my original key tab series)
*Hook size: H - (5.00 mm)
*Tapestry Needle
*Ribbing Gauge 2” x 2” swatch = 8 rows of 8 sc
*Body of Hat Gauge 2” x 2” swatch = 4 rows of 8 dc
Terms and Stitches used:
(ch) chain, (st) stitch, (sp) space, (sl st) slip stitch, (sc) single crochet, (dc) double crochet, (rep) repeat, (blo) back loop only, (YO) yarn over
Special Stitches:
*Three Double Crochet Cluster (3dc cl)
YO hook insert hook into the next indicated st/sp, YO and draw up a loop, (3 loops on hook) YO and draw through 2 loops, YO hook insert hook into the same st/sp, YO and draw up a loop, (4 loops on hook) YO draw through 2 loops, YO hook insert hook into the same st/sp, YO and draw up a loop, (5 loops on hook), YO draw through 2 loops, YO and pull through remaining 4 loops. One cluster made.
Notes:
*Chain stitch does not count in stitch count!
*The number at the end of each row is the stitch count for the row (#).
*Hat is worked from the bottom up!
Size Adjusting tips: If you need a smaller or larger size around just make sure the Ribbing is a multiple of 4, for instance I have 32, 52, 56 & 60 for sizes - you can do 36, 40, 44, 48, 64 or 68 and so on. The rest of the hat will fall right into place. Easy adjusting for using other yarn types, size or tensions.

I've been crocheting up a storm for Christmas. I was trying to come up with ideas that with supplies I already have on hand, not take to much time and yet easy to personalize. I came up with this crochet wrap button bracelet design and now I want to make a ton of them.
So fun and my daughter is obsessed with them. She's requested I make them for all her school friends and I've had several inquires to make some for other family and friends. I know you will just love this bracelet tutorial. This is great for beginners and it's make a perfect gift for anyone in all seasons! So lets get to it! This is more of a tutorial than a pattern and good news I made a video too!
Yarn Suggestions: DK or Sport Weight of choice (below are the samples I used in the video
*Patons Grace (sport weight
* Afternoon Cotton by Premier Yarns (DK weight)
* Yarn Bee Sweet Delights (DK- weight) Button of choice (any size will do)
Hook Suggestion: (E-4 3.5mm) or size desired
Tapestry Needle that with through button holes
Scissors
Measuring Tape
Step 1: Thread the needle and pull your yarn end through the button holes.
Step 2: Make a slip knot, pull it close to button, as tight as possible. Make one chain around both ends of the yarn to lock that in place. Pull again on ends to make the chain tight to the button. Leave the end of the yarn (not attached to the ball/skein) off to the side now, well use it to braid later.)
Step 3: Chain Stitch until the bracelet measures around 54 inches. Be sure not to twist the chain and keep it as even as possible.
Step 4: Button Hole: This will depend on the size of the button you use.
Make a slip stitch in about the 5th chain from the hook, (if you need it bigger or smaller adjust) Make sure your button with fit through.
Step 5: Sl St in all the remaining chains to the very 1st chain. Leaving about a 6-8 inch tail, fasten off.
Step 6: Braiding the End: cut two strand of yarn about 12 inches. Thread these through the button whole. Pull ends evenly. Divide the ends into three sections. Braid the ends to measure about 3 inches. Tie off in the knot.
Step 7: Wrap it around your wrist, button and Enjoy!
Christmas is just around the corner. I'd recently made this fun Lil' Goblin Hat, but just missed Halloween time frame to post the pattern. So, before it was to late I thought how perfect would it be to turn it into a Elf Hat for the Holidays! I'm just in love with it! I hope you like it too! Enjoy!

If you'd like to make the Goblin hat instead it's basically just color changes and not striped. You can find that example pattern by clicking the image below!
Way back in 2010 when Calleigh's Clips and Crochet Creations was just starting, I was commissioned to create a Goblin Hat for a little boy's Halloween Costume. You can read about that on this post or in my Ravelry Projects. Well here 6 years later someone found the picture and asked me to recreate it for their little newborn. I had to re-re-create the design as it's had been so long! LOL I couldn't remember what I'd done and I hadn't followed a pattern. So I though now would be a good time to write out the pattern as I made it. Although I'm a few days late for Halloween now you have plenty of time to make it for next year, plus I turned it into an Enchanting Elf Stripped Hat just in time for Christmas!

If you love to follow yarn trends there have been a few fun ones this fall. From yarn pooling to fun self stripping yarns. I'd avoided the Caron Cakes because they were hard to find and do have some wool in them (which I can handle but it usually makes me a little itchy), but I happened to be in Micheal's one day and found a few skeins that jumped in my cart. My Daughter (7yrs) picked out the colors.
I knew this would make a great super scarf but with a big scarf and it still being 80 degrees around here I didn't want it to be heavy! Even though I used two full skeins and I did a fun lacy look texture so it's light weight and still cozy.
If super scarves aren't for you simple make it the length you want or join ends to make an infinity scarf.
It's also wide enough that you could make it a gorgeous shawl.
I enjoyed working with the Caron Cakes yarn and actually would like to get more. If you're looking for a wool free alternative Premier Yarns came out with Sweet Roll. Which is similar. It's coming to Joann's soon so I hope to try it soon.
