This ten-year-old crochet friend is tackling a circular blanket with a flower edging. She learns so quicky and has put a lot of thought into the yarn for her project. It has been fun working through the pattern together. Look out world, because I know this very young crochet artist is going to impress us all with her work!!! Check in to see her completed project!
I have made this child’s pumpkin hat several times around Halloween for children in my life. It takes less than one skein for yarn and just a few hours to make. This time I spent a lot of time on the written pattern.
Since I haven’t shared the pattern in previous class material, I will share the pattern with subscribers.

A crochet friend in the fall class is a “self-taught genius” in amigurumi crochet. She can even pronounce amigurumi – I struggle to spell it. This technique uses single crochet increases (and often decreases) to create animals and dolls. She said she has learned from books and videos mostly.
These creatures have so much personality. They are becoming increasingly popular. I’ve seen other crochet creations in progress when I was in Arizona done in this style. They were also more prevalent at the state fair this year too. I love the three-dimensional, sculpted style of this type of crochet, along with the artistic and individualistic aspect of each project. It could almost be a class of its own!
I have a hat pattern that uses single crochet increases in a spiral method much like amigurumi as part of the class. I plan to also include at least one amigurumi as well as we approach the holiday season. Both are included in the E-book that comes with the class. What would you crochet? Let’s see what you can do!
I love to crochet hats for two reasons. They are fast and, for the most part, only use one skein of yarn. Keep in mind the larger the hook and thicker the yarn, the faster it will work up. This makes hats an ideal item for craft fairs and online shops. There’s a lot of room for creativity too. Colors, shape, design and embellishments all combine to make a unique project with a lot of personality.
This easy spiral single crochet beanie hat uses increases to create the shape of the hat. For smaller sizes, use a smaller hook and lighter weight yarn.

Then be sure to share a photo of your completed project so we can see your own personal touches.
To crochet an increase, crochet two or more stitches into the (one) stitch below. The abbreviation for increase in inc.
An example of a pattern will read: two dc in next dc (two double crochets in the next double crochet stitch below)
Or
3 dc in corner sp (all three double crochets are done in the space created by chains created in the previous row in the corner).
My grandma crocheted a pumpkin hat for me and had me model it. I hear from the other grandkids that this type of behavior will continue . . .
She let me taste squash soup too and I love it. #fallbaby
