Crocheting is a fun way to create custom items for yourself or others. It’s also a great way to spend time with friends and family.
Crochet gifts are perfect for the holidays, birthdays, or any other occasion. They are easy to make and require only a few materials that you most likely already have on hand.
We can crochet an iPhone holder for someone who spends too much time on their phone, a backpack for your favorite camper, jewelry for your best friend, or a hat for someone who needs some extra warmth this winter.

5. Floral Slouchy Hat
Create this free pattern for a crochet slouchy hat using scrap yarn! No need to waste money shopping. During this pandemic, it has been very difficult to find supplies for crocheting. That is why I decided to take inventory of the yarn I already have. You never know how much yarn you truly have until you sit down and cake up all of your scrap yarn.
