I’m Marie Segares from Underground Crafter. One of my favorite crochet tricks is to work into the back loop of the half double crochet stitch. It creates a classic look very similar to the stockinette stitch in knitting. The bulk of this easy one skein crochet pattern is crocheted with the half double crochet in the back […]

Here in the Midwest, it’s been quite a rainy summer so far. That’s not always great for us humans, but the flowers are certainly better for it. As we sit on the porch watching the raindrops, hook in hand – let’s take some inspiration from summer flora! Crocheting flowers is always a quick, fun project. […]

While I had done some crafty things in my life before that, I had never done anything as “complicated” or satisfying as crocheting. I’m […]
Yarn can be expensive! At certain times, as much as I’d like to indulge and buy skein upon skein, it’s just not possible.
