crochet with mahum ✿

Hi everyone! With this pattern, you can crochet yourself or your pets (or stuffed animals!) a bucket hat with a really cute frilly trim.  A note on the pattern for beginners: This summer, I had the opportunity to teach an in-person crochet course to a group of lovely girls at Wild About Art Co studio in Bahrain. All of them were complete beginners when I taught them how to make this bucket hat, so if you're a beginner, you can make this too. You can see how their hats turned out in the picture above! Using what I learned from teaching them, I adjusted this pattern to make it even easier.  You do not need to know how to make or work with a magic ring!  I understand how confusing and frustrating magic rings can be for beginners, that's why I've included an easier alternative for which you just need to chain and slip stitch for. I've also included extra commentary and tried to explain things in as much detail as I can, I hope that helps you create this bucket hat and I'

Hi everyone! So many of you asked me to crochet a book sleeve and here's my attempt at crocheting one inspired by It Ends With Us. I'm not completely happy with the result, but I'll be turning this into a series where I crochet book sleeves/covers inspired by some books I love, so many more bookish projects are coming in the future! A note on this pattern:  I've included step-by-step instructions for how I made the book sleeve part but the lily flower charm is not my original design! I've included the link to the youtube tutorial I followed to make it as well as some details related to that part. With this pattern, I'm taking credit for the way in which I crocheted the book sleeve and the idea behind it, NOT the lily flower.  That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions. Materials & Terminology: I used a 4

Hi everyone, here's a super cute pattern for a skirt that's sort of inspired by the mini skirts worn in winx club!  A note on the pattern: I created this pattern for my friend (a beginner crocheter) who wanted to learn how to crochet a mini skirt. This was her first project and I helped her along the way with in-person demonstrations. If you're a beginner too, I've tried to explain the steps in as much detail as possible but to be able to make this, you should know how to make a slip knot, chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and slip stitch. I have not included measurements since this piece is a made-to-measure project, so please keep trying the skirt on and seeing how it looks while working.  That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions. Materials & Terminology: I used a 4.5 mm hook, a th

Hi everyone! This adorable frog can be turned into a charm, keychain, or mini pouch for your headphones (which you can attach to any of your bags with a chain). I can't wait to see how yours turn out! Here are a few things to keep in mind while using this pattern: To make this, you should be an advanced beginner, intermediate level crocheter, or know how to make a magic ring, crochet in a round (I've included step-by-step instructions for this), increase, single/double/half double/triple crochet, slip stitch, and most importantly - SEW. This pattern doesn't show you how to sew the pieces together. However, that part is pretty self-explanatory since you just have to sew the pieces as shown in my pictures in the pattern below. That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with!   Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions.

Hi everyone! Here's a cute and easy tote bag tutorial that follows a repetitive pattern, requires minimal effort to create alternating rows, and is easily put together. Here are a few things to keep in mind while using this pattern: The heart granny square is not my original idea! With this pattern, I'm only taking credit for the way in which I crocheted the heart granny square into a tote bag. All the steps I took are either mentioned explicitly or linked to a specific technique or youtube tutorial I used. To make this, you should be experienced with some basic stitches and know how granny squares work. That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions. Materials & Terminology: I used a 4.5 mm hook and around 100 g of 2 colors (I recommend using light and dark alternating colors!).  Abbreviations: SC - single crochet, DC - do
