One of my favorite crochet stitches that I just discovered is the Even Moss Stitch. It's so simple, yet the end result is so beautiful. I'm planning on using this crochet stitch to make a crochet clutch that will be posted on my YouTube channel in a few days. In the meantime, if you're a newbie, practice making the Even Moss Stitch. Free pattern listed below. If you would like to follow along with me, please watch my video tutorial.

Yarn: 

Caron One Pound in Off White

Hook: 5mm

Terms:

ch - chain

sl st - slip stitch

hdc - half double crochet

NOTE: You will always start a row and end a row with a sl st.

You want to chain in even numbers. In this sample size, I did a ch of 16.

Row 1: sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook, then hdc in the next st. Continue to alternate between sl st and hdc. Continue to the end of the row.

Row 2: ch 1, sl st in the 2nd st, then hdc in the next st. Continue to alternate between sl st and hdc. Continue to the end of the row. 

**Continue to repeat row 2 until you're desired length for your project. 

Enjoy!

Crochet Sweetheart Ear Warmer

Hello everyone! It's been too long since I have been on this blog. Let me catch you up.

I've been heavily involved in my YouTube channel these last 2 months, and I've been meaning to get back on my blog as well. Time eludes me! I've been a busy bee this last year since becoming a nurse, but I've finally have the time to get back to what I love best (besides nursing), and that is being creative. I crave it, need it, want it. And so I'm back.

In this post I wanted to provide you with this free crochet pattern for the Crochet Sweetheart Ear Warmer that I created. You are free to use this pattern to create your own Sweetheart Ear Warmer, but please link back to my blog and give me credit. Please do not post any pictures from my blog, or copy my pattern to yours. You can sell any ear warmers made.

You can watch the video here. Let's jump to it.
