Spike Stitch Cluster

Here’s a crochet stitch that produces a nice shell stitch. It’s a relatively basic stitch that works nice for a blanket, scarf, shawl, and more. There is a nice lace effect formed by V stitches on one row, with the shells or fans above on the next row.

Here’s a quick and very easy candy cane to crochet. With just 2 rows of single crochet stitches, this crochet pattern is perfect for a beginner. A glue and water mixture then help the candy canes keep their shape. Once completed they are about 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

A hair scrunchie is pretty easy to make with yarn, a crochet hook, and a hair elastic. This crochet pattern is one I used to create scrunchies back in the 80s!
