how to crochet girly room decor (bow garland, cushions, & bedside hanging) | free patterns + video tutorials

Image
Hi everyone! Here are the reference patterns & notes for my youtube tutorial. Happy crocheting and redecorating <3  Granny square cushion:  Crochet 9 solid and 9 granny squares following this tutorial -  https://youtu.be/iFcyBUikfYc Written patterns for the granny squares -   on my blog Fluffy cushion with ruffles: Make 2 pieces with the same number of stitches and rows.

Add a bow with ribbons to make it even cuter! Bedside hanging: Make 2 solid granny squares with 6 rounds -   https://youtu.be/iFcyBUikfYc On one of the pieces sew/glue on a bow.

how to crochet a cute bunny | free pattern + video tutorial

Image
Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for demonstrations if you're confused. This is a very repetitive pattern, so follow the same steps shown to crochet all the rounds. Once you're done, you can add some ribbons & bows to make your bunny look even cuter - happy crocheting! Note:  all the pieces are worked in continuous rounds, so don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round and track your rounds.  To make crocheting this bunny (and other amigurumi projects!) easier, I recommend downloading the  Row Counter app . I love using the counter to keep track of my rounds and the highlighter to easily find the steps I'm working on. You can import this pattern to the app and start crocheting!
