This is the perfect little present you can make for that teen in your life! Or make one for yourself – this almost looks like a designer purse! This easy crochet pattern has it all! It's just the right size for all your essentials like your phone, wallet and lipstick. 

This little crochet purse is made in a rectangle with a half circle flap closing the bag. What really makes this bag modern though, is the delicate fringe detail and fun tassel attached to the edge.

Fingerless gloves are a go-to these days as we find ourselves constantly needing ours phones to check email, respond to texts and deal with business matters. These gloves help to keep a large portion of your hand warm while giving your fingers a little more freedom.

Keep your hands cozy on a chilly day with these gloves. These are called the “Elizabeth” fingerless gloves as this crochet pattern uses the Elizabeth stitch. These are quick to make, taking only 2 -3 hours to complete.

The Puff Stitch Baby Hat is great for hot days when your baby needs a little air to their head, while still covering it. I have always loved making the puff stitch which is what brought me to making a puff stitch hat, although I didn't want it to be intimidating to newer crocheters, so I made all of the increases with the double crochet stitch.

This crochet beanie is so cute. It’s got two little cat ears stitched into the top of the beanie. The bottom of the beanie is trimmed in a decorative ribbed stitch while the rest is worked in a simple single crochet. 

This is an easy crochet hat pattern and fast project that’s lots of fun to make and even more fun to wear.

This crochet wrap is lightweight, trendy, and versatile. Plus, it comes together really easily which makes this a great project for all levels. 

when you need a little warmth! Customize this to fit into your wardrobe with your color of choice!

The cross-over block stitch has a lovely texture and look to it and could be used for crochet blankets, washcloths, bags, hats and more. 

You will be so pleased with how this infinity scarf pattern turns out that you are going to want to make these as the perfect gifts for those special people in your life!

These headbands are the perfect crochet accessory to add a pop of fun and color to your child's outfit. They also make great gifts or stocking stuffers. This headband crochet pattern only uses a small amount of yarn so you can make more to give to friends and family. 

This mitten pattern is one of the sweetest crochet baby patterns you’ll find. And it’s so easy too. Baby patterns are usually very basic because of their size and the fact that babies grow so quickly. These crochet baby mitts are easy to make, but add a little bit of flair, unlike most quick and easy crochet patterns. 

A crochet scarf is a classic gift. People are always in need of cowls and something cozy to wrap up in. This is one of the many reasons people choose these simple patterns as their first crochet project! And even better this crochet cowl pattern doesn’t

change much, crochet stitches are used to make any crochet cowl really unique! 

This one uses the primrose stitch but you can always swap that stitch out and choose from a variety of different crochet stitches. Your options are endless, which is why this pattern is so appealing!

We absolutely love this top and it was super easy to make. You can whipped up this crochet pattern in only a few hours. The most challenging part of the halter top is crocheting stitches together (double crochet 2 together) but once you've got that mastered (it's really easy) and you'll have this adorable top made before you know it. Also, if you're looking for something a little more modest, you could make the bottom part longer or add a fringe to cover more of the belly. 

Have you seen the TV series from Starz, Outlander? It is a historical time travel drama based on the best-selling books by Diana Gaboldon. The storyline follows the passionate relationship between two lead characters, combat nurse Claire and the chivalrous and handsome Scottish warrior Jamie. Inspired by Claire's cowl in Outlander we decided to see if we could come up with something similar. Of course, Claire's cowl is knit so it's impossible to get the exact same design and drape but we thought we'd give it a go!

This cowl pattern is easy to make and works up really quickly – this can be done in one evening.

It's a stunningly versatile crochet stitch that can be used in a myriad of patterns and projects (as you can see from my ever-growing list of Elizabeth Stitch patterns here on Dabbles & Babbles including my fingerless gloves, hat and scarf crochet patterns). These boot cuffs are very quick to make, taking only an hour or two. 

They are the perfect accessory to go with a pair of jeans and your favorite boots. If you’re still looking for the perfect holiday gift ideas these crochet boot cuffs can be customized to each and every person on your list whether they’re friends, family, or colleagues.

It's quite possible this is my new favorite cowl pattern. Not to mention, this yarn is quite soft and the color just screamed sheer joy at me. My Red Heart Reflective was shipped to me and when I opened the box, I gasped. 

I gasped so deeply that I may have reversed a black hole somewhere in the universe. Nonetheless, we all survived, I completed a ton of orders and weeks later, I finally got to start swatching.

It’s so easy to get caught up in making projects for the little ones we love. But oftentimes we forget to do something nice for ourselves too. And that’s why we created the Cozy Fall Crochet Headband project! There’s no reason for you to miss out on the fun with these simple and stylish accessories. 

The Cozy Fall Headband is worked using single and double crochet stitches. And it’s crocheted as one long piece that can be tied and untied each time you wear it. That way it’s sure to fit you and your little one! It’s a perfect last-minute gift idea. It’s also perfect for a creative loved one who’s just starting out with crochet.

This design is my a new favorite, I hope it becomes one of your new favorites as well. This Madison Messy Bun Hat is stylish with the row of mesh stitches above the ribbing, and is fast and easy to make! It took me less than an hour to work up with bulky yarn and a K hook. I briefly went over the ponytail holder in the second paragraph in the Puffy Bun Hat Pattern.

This Newborn Nightcap Hat is a a great photo prop! This pattern is great for a girl or boy as it can be made with blue or pink yarn and customized! Use this for your newborn photo session or to keep your babies head warm in on those chilly days. Choose the colors you want to use and work this pattern up super quickly using single, half double and double crochet stitches for that special baby in your life! 

This also makes the perfect baby shower gift or a hat that so many of you love to donate! The simple triangular shape is easy to stitch, and the moon and star embellishments add to the cuteness.

Another one of our favorite newborn hats! Are you looking for a simple, yet cute hat for a preemie or newborn? These preemie/newborn button hats have become pretty popular, and everyone loves how cute they are!

You can customize and add different style buttons or even embellishments to give this hates its' own personality! We love how quick it is to make and of course you can pick whatever color you want to work this project up.

I could not love this hat anymore! First of all can you say CUTE! It's the perfect gender neutral hat that you can make for the perfect photo shoot prop for those winter babies!

What's even better is it is a simple pattern that even those new to crochet can do and do well! So grab your favorite super soft worsted weight yarn and get started!

This crochet market bag is made using the puff stitch which adds texture and shape to a classic design like this.

This would make an amazing farmers market bag or even a beach bag as it’s an open stitch pattern.

The bag pattern is made using pima cotton yarn. It’s so soft and adds beautiful definition to the stitches!

The most recent addition to my collection is the Modern Crochet Cowl. The colors are what really sets it apart from my other scarves. My version is completed in a mix of blues and blue greens, which I made with a multicolored yarn. It’s a big design without having to weave in all the ends and shift colors.

The colors in this crochet cowl pattern make it really stand out, as does the unique back loop only stitch. The whole crochet scarf is worked in this simple yet decorative stitch, so it’s a quick project.

This crocheted Beanie Hat is perfect for so many reasons. It’s made using a beautiful daisy stitch with a pom pom on top. And it has a ribbed trim around the bottom which makes it nice and stretchy to help fit any sized head. This beanie was worked using a 100% merino wool yarn in a beautiful silver color. This shade is so stunning. It’s subtle and fun and perfect for men or women.

This is a great pattern to make in bulky for charity giving or to always have a gift or two on hand when you need them.

Penelope's Lacy Wrap crochet pattern is so versatile that it can be worn in so many ways, including a scarf or swimsuit cover up wrapped around the hips. Within 2 to 3 hours, you’ll have something lovely for a Quick Christmas gift or Easter picnic.You’ll find the pattern is written in such a way that you can modify the width or length very easily to suit your size or outfit. Imagine adding fringe!

The multicolored yarn used adds a lot of depth and texture but this would also be stunning as a solid color project. Since you can make them up so fast you can try it in lots of colors.

Hats are for all seasons, and this lightweight crocheted hat is a great one to make and wear when the weather is warmer. It’s worked in a fine-weight yarn, so it’s not too heavy, and mostly uses double crochet, which has a little bit of space in the stitches so it doesn’t make a fabric that’s super warm.

The hat is worked from the top down and has great slouch for holding all your hair or just giving a relaxed look.

This sweet little giraffe hat is great to make for any baby in your life. It’s sized for a preemie to a newborn up to 11 pounds, and has cute ears, horns and other details that make it perfect for a newborn photo shoot with an animal theme, or just for a little one to wear when they’re feeling a little wild. 

The hat could be worked in different colors and with different features to look like an alien or some other wild thing as well if you wanted. Either way this one stitches up quickly for a last-minute shower gift to celebrate a new little one.

The Twist Mixed Cluster Crochet Headband is a beautiful headband that will keep my ears warm and my hair looking good. It’s got a beautiful little twist in the front of the headband and uses decorative crochet stitches to create a unique design. It alternates rows of the cluster stitch and single crochets to create what looks like a detailed ribbed design. 

 This version is worked in a superwash wool. It’s so easy to take care of this headband thanks to the yarn. And it’s really lightweight and soft so it won’t cause any itching or irritation to your forehead. It’s a fast crochet project that looks really detailed and the yarn emphasizes the stitchwork.

When you slip this shawl over your shoulders, you’re saying “I’m ready for anything.” Really, though, because this easy crochet pattern gets you a shawl that you’re going to want to wear everywhere. We can see this making a great addition to any outfit at a picnic, a brunch, or just an outing where you want to wear something flirty and fun. Pick a yarn color that’s going to compliment your outfit, and you’ll be the most fashion-forward of your friends. This crochet shawl pattern should only take about two to three hours to make, and you can modify how long or wide you want it to be.

Choose a medium to light yarn so you can feel easy and breezy when donning your shawl. You know the kind of dress that makes you want to spin around in circles in a big field of flowers? This is the crochet shawl equivalent of that dress.

Hats can sometimes be a little intimidating to newer crocheters because of the shaping. But this newborn-sized Double Knot Beanie removes that issue because it’s worked straight all the way down. The beginning looks a little strange because you are working the “tails” that will be tied at the end first, but just follow the directions and you’ll be on to the fun, textured body of the hat in no time.

This hat is sized for newborns but has a good amount of stretch since we all know there’s no standard newborn size!

I was racking my brain the other day for gift ideas for a friend and I came up with a great idea…what if I crocheted some beautiful handmade washcloths? A self-care kit with lotions and face masks. Just little ways to treat herself and de-stress. And I decided this crochet washcloth set would be the perfect addition. These washcloths are perfect for pampering. They’re stitched up using a beautiful lemon peel stitch and are made out of 100% cotton yarn. Perfect for mild exfoliation and sensitive skin.

The washcloths even have little loops to hang them up. And they’re easy to care for because they’re machine washable and dryer safe. These are a great addition to a gift basket, or use them as a stocking stuffer. Whatever you choose, they’ll be appreciated.

This Lacy Butterfly crochet hat pattern has the adorable lacy effect while keeping it simple and easy. This hat that looks hard to make simply uses the basic stitches. It mostly uses double crochet stitches to form the base of the hat, then the cute butterfly effect is added when the stitching is done. It looks more complicated than it is but gives a really sweet look to this simple hat. The hat uses medium weight yarn (the softer the better!) and is sized from a 1-3 pound preemie to a newborn up to 11 pounds. 

This is a great hat to use up your stash and make hats to donate or to give to all the new babies in your life (they always seem to come in batches, don’t they?).

Do you ever find yourself in a certain type of mood for a particular kind of crochet project? The other day, I realized I was in the mood to make flowers- only I didn't want to make just any flower. I wanted to crochet a flower that I have never seen crocheted before. The Water Lily crochet flower looks a lot like the Water Lotus, but when you really research you will see the difference between the two easily. I decided on designing a Water Lily because the lilies grow in a variety of colors… allowing my color options to be endless. It's fun to experiment with different stitch combinations to make new and interesting designs. 

And once you start making these you’ll find all sorts of fun uses for them, from decorating headbands to adding to gifts. 

There's nothing like a pair of fingerless gloves when you're feeling chilly but still need to send a quick text message. Mittens are such a pain for texting, but fingerless gloves solve that problem. That's why I love these Star Stitch Fingerless gloves. Not only are they fun to wear, but the star stitch is also fun to crochet as well! 

 Fingerless gloves are great for gift giving because they don’t have to be a particular size and they are so useful for wearing when it’s cold out but you still need to use your fingers (or if you work in a cold office and still need to type!)

One of the great things (that can also be a not-so-great thing) about crocheting for kids is that they often have opinions about what you make and tell you exactly what they like and don’t like. I designed this simple, colorful hat and my daughter declared it needed roses, so I found a low-cost flower pattern to add to the ends of the ties.

You can of course just stitch the basic hat, which is a free pattern on the blog, and include the ties or not as you – or your child! – likes. This would be a fun stash busting pattern too, just change colors as you run out of yarn.

This hat pattern is crocheted much like a regular beanie, but allows you to leave an opening at the crown to pull your messy bun or high ponytail through. That means no more hat hair. These are perfect for winter activities like skiing and skating, or just for braving the chilly weather. I always get tons of compliments on this hat whenever I wear it, and it makes a perfect gift for friends and family members. You can make this messy bun crochet hat in any color you’d like, and it’s a very beginner-friendly crochet pattern. 

It’s guaranteed to be a knockout gift for anyone on your list, but I definitely wouldn’t blame you if you kept one all for yourself!

You are going to love this super easy-to-crochet flower headband. It has been used to decorate gifts, market bags, hats, Easter baskets, headbands (obviously), clips, dresses and so much more. Completed, it's a 4″-5″ flower in acrylic worsted weight yarn or 3″ in cotton. For that particular flower, I used a size H-hook with 100% cotton yarn and followed the pattern for the flower.

I love them! I’m sure you’ll come up with a lot of ways to use them, too. 

This bag has a modern, boho feel and it’s designed to be both sturdy and stretchy to accommodate all of your shopping needs. This bag is a great alternative to a tote and is perfect for outings from shopping at the farmer’s market and grocery store to carrying along snacks on road trips. It also makes a wonderful beach bag to hold towels, sunscreen, and anything else you might need.

This bag takes a little time to crochet up, but I promise it’s all worth it! I’m in love with this pattern and have gotten nothing but compliments so I know you’re going to love it as much as I do!

Sometimes a simple project can have a big impact. The Madison Cowl uses a simple double crochet stitch with ribbing on one end to make a cowl that’s quick to stitch and easy to wear. Make it in a solid color as shown in the pattern, or use up some odd balls to make a colorful stash-busting project. 

This pattern is so quick and easy you can make one in every color to go with all your cold weather outfits.

This simple snowflake hat sized for newborns up to bigger kids is super quick and easy to make. Adding a little stitched snowflake embellishment to the side amps up the cuteness for winter wear – or for babies born in the winter. You could embellish the hat with anything you like, add a stitched bow, stitch on buttons, the sky is the limit. 

You can of course also stitch the hat in any color you like, and since it takes as little as 50 yards for the newborn hat, this is a great stash buster to make in lots of different sizes as a charity project or to gift to all the littles in your life. 

TThis slouchy crochet beanie is a perfect option that works with virtually everyone’s style. I personally hate when hats are too tight and slick your hair down. That’s why this beanie crochet pattern is perfect. It has just the right amount of slouchy stretch to allow you to style it loosely without cementing your hair to your face. Plus, the texture is a perfect mix of classic and contemporary. 

Let your new little one shine in this Preemie/ Newborn Bow Crochet Hat! I whipped this hat up in less than a half hour with worsted weight yarn and a size G-6 (4.00 mm) crochet hook. The post ribbing helps it have a bit of a lacy look, or you can keep it simple and just make the last round double crochet instead. One thing I love about crocheting hats is that they are easy to make and perfect for people who are just learning foundational crochet skills.

This hat is sized for preemies and bigger newborns, so you can make a bunch for a lot of new babies in no time. 

Need a classic hat pattern? Look no further. This messy bun hat pattern has a very clean, traditional, and put together style. It uses a 3rd loop stitch combined with traditional single, double, and half double crochet stitches to create crisp, linear lines. I love making these for my co-workers because the pattern is just so clean and simple that it’s a safe bet for anyone. The messy bun hat is unique enough in concept, but when paired with this simpler texture, it makes it the perfect item for friends who like a more minimalist look. You could even introduce a second color for alternating stripes to customize the look. 

This pattern is also versatile in that it can be made into a full beanie. This is a great pattern for all levels of crocheters. Go forth and happy crocheting!

I love scarfs, especially handmade crochet scarves. In fact, I’m a self-professed scarf fanatic. I have tons of them, all in different fabrics, colors, and patterns. But you know what? I didn’t have one like this, and I feel like one can never have too many scarves. They’re the perfect accessory, and whenever I wear one, I know it means the ushering in of the fall season. This crochet triangle scarf is so cozy, warm, and easy to make. 

The fringe gives it a little bit of a western vibe, which I love, and the colors can be customized to anything that you want. The thick yarn size ensures that this crochet scarf pattern comes together quickly, so no excuses! It’s craft season, and this is a great choice to satisfy your crafty vibes.

I recently started wearing crochet headbands when I would try to pull off the “Elsa Braid.” Without one, my hair on one side would slowly fall down. It didn't take long before my daughter started begging me to make her headbands also. This simple headband with a rose embellishment can be made in a solid color or make the headband in one color and the flower in another. 

Headbands are so quick and easy to make and you can easily customize them to different sizes.

Keep yourself cozy with this super warm cowl. Wear it alone or pair it with your favorite winter coat for those extra chilly mornings. It’s an easy to make crochet pattern and the thick yarn makes this work up very quickly.

Plus, this crochet cowl has buttons so you don’t have to worry about it slipping off. With one of these in your arsenal, chilly mornings will be no match for you.

Meet the Seashore messy bun hat crochet pattern. They may be neck-n-neck for me like American Ninja Warrior – Sleek, good-looking, but ready to rock! I hope you love this as much as I do. While there have been so many messy bun hats taking the world by storm. I made a conscious decision to make several designs to represent different levels of creators as well as different styles for different outfits. 

This lovely hat is super fast and really quite easy to work up. Shells may appear to be a difficult stitch, but really they are so simple! You must give this one a try. You can even decrease 2 more rows and cinch it together to make a beanie!

 What a cute preemie/newborn apple hat?! I have been wanting to make one of these for so long and I finally got the stem figured out! I know, it looks simple. But it wasn't easy figuring out how to make it a bit thicker at the top of the stem. Well once I got the hang of it I was off creating tons of them for all the babies and kids I know! 

Baby shower gift, baby photos, a fun fall hat for the baby on those chilly days, the use for this hat is endless. You could even use this pattern as the foundation to create other fruity hats too!

Here is another pattern from the Coraline collection! This lovely scarf is made from 100% silk. It's light enough that you can wear it no matter the temperature. Summer nights, fall days, a fun winter accessory, and a spring staple this scarf will be part of all your favorite outfits. 

There's nothing better than sitting and watching the sunset by the beach while having a delicious beverage – especially when your crochet cozy is keeping your hands from getting cold and wet. My first cozy pattern turned out so well, soon I was getting requests from all my friends to crochet can cozy's for them too. 

This is a really easy crochet project that you can complete in under an hour. You can keep it plain or spruce it up with different colors and stripes if you'd like. You have the power to customize this simple crochet pattern as you see fit.

I was playing around with stitches the other night when I discovered a fun and simple way to make this beautiful scarf. The reason I just *had* to write it out is because I wanted to make sure I remember how to make the leaning rows. 

Just a simple stitch placement and it all falls into place! Work this up in a few hours and will have the perfecct infinity scarf! Make them in every color!

Retro Bloom is a funny little thing. I picked up my hook and started to play. Ta-Da! 15 minutes later, I had two of these made. Not only do they work up quickly, but they are so crazy simple to make. It's a great touch for your craft fair tables. Use as a coaster or even as a little face scrubber!

Crochet your own reusable cotton balls or small 3.5″ scrubbies. Pamper yourself or Baby with eco-friendly cloths you crochet yourself. Be sure to use cotton to create the softest, most delicious, crocheted scrubbies to remove makeup smoothly and clean gently around your eyes. Baby will appreciate the softness as the rounded edges clean around neck, ears, and other sensitive areas.

These rounded washcloths, made the perfect size, will not flip or fold in your hand as you work around sensitive areas.

This is the perfect preemie/newborn bear ears hats if you are wanting to make a quick and easy animal hat! CUTENESS ALERT! My favorite part about this hat is it will look good no matter what color it is made in. My second favorite is that you could rework pattern a little and use thick soft yarn for the colder days. 

You know what would be even more cool? Add one of the heart appliques or water lily flowers to the design for extra flair. The possibilities are endless with this hat.

This is a great, fun project for an intermediate crocheter. If you have never used a face scrubbie before you are seriously missing out! So much better then spending tons of money on disposable face wipes. 

This is also perfecct for people like me who hate just using your hands and soap and getting soaked! It's big enough to get your forehead and cheeks but small enough to use around your nose and eyes! Perfect for the teen in your life too!

We just have so many good ideas for your newboarn photo props! And this one is one of my favorite! How cute is this top hat! Make it in any color that brings out your baby's personality. I just love the little spiral on the top of the hat too!

Ok this is THE HAT! Make for anyone! It's perfect because you can make in any color and better yet you can customize the bottom with ribbing, cables or another fun design. And if that isn't good enough add a pom pom to the top to finish it off! The possibilities are endless for this fun easy hat.

As if the regular face scrubbie wasn't the best already it just got even better with the added handle! Yup a handle for easier use and an even quicker face washing experience! So the question really is how many of these are you making?
