As Lunar New Year approaches, it's the perfect time to bring festive traditions into your crafting. What better way to celebrate than with this easy and delightful crochet project—a Lunar New Year Lantern! This pattern is quick to make, requires minimal materials, and is a great way to brighten your space with handmade decor.
π The Significance of Lanterns in Lunar New Year
Lanterns have long been an iconic symbol of the Lunar New Year. Representing hope, prosperity, and a bright future, they are often displayed during celebrations to light the way for the new year ahead. In many cultures, red lanterns are particularly significant, symbolizing good luck and joy. They are also associated with family reunions and the Lantern Festival, which marks the final day of the New Year celebrations. By crafting your own lanterns, you’re not only embracing tradition but adding a personal touch to the festive spirit.
π Skill Level: Intermediate
π§Ά Materials Needed
Yarn: Stylecraft Special DK (or similar) in the following colors:
Lipstick (Color A) – for the lantern body
Gold (Color B) – for the ends and details
Hook: 3mm (or size needed for your gauge)
Other Supplies:
Two hair ties
Scissors
Darning needle
Stuffing
Optional: Yarn for a hanging loop and tassel
π Pattern Highlights
Construction: The lantern is worked in rounds, starting with the body and finishing with the ends. Hair ties add structure and a neat finish to the edges.
Stitch Details: The pattern uses basic stitches such as single crochet (sc) and simple increases and decreases. It’s written in US terms
Personal Touches: The gold detailing and tassel give the lantern its festive charm. You can customize the colors or add extra embellishments to make it uniquely yours.
The pattern is detailed for free below but if you prefer a printer friendly version available offline I do have this pattern available for a small fee on Ravelry you can download here

- Also with B, make a tassel and attach to the bottom of the Lantern

π¨ Ideas for Using Your Lanterns
Decorate Your Space: String several lanterns together to create a garland or hang them individually for a festive touch.
Gift Them: These lanterns make lovely handmade gifts to share the joy of the Lunar New Year with friends and family.
Use as Party Decor: Perfect for creating an inviting atmosphere for your celebrations.
✂️ Tips for Success
Gauge Matters: Ensure you’re using the correct hook size to avoid a lantern that’s too stiff or too loose.
Stuffing: Don’t overstuff the lantern—just enough to hold its shape while staying soft and lightweight.
Secure Ends: Use a darning needle to weave in ends securely to maintain a clean finish.
Crafting these Lunar New Year Lanterns is a meaningful way to celebrate the holiday’s themes of light, hope, and togetherness. Whether you hang them around your home, gift them to loved ones, or make them a part of your New Year traditions, these crochet lanterns are sure to bring joy and a festive spirit.

Cozy Up with This Easy Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern (with a Textured Twist!)
Looking for a quick and stylish way to keep your ears warm this winter? Look no further than this easy-to-follow crochet earwarmer pattern! Perfect for beginners who want to try something a little more adventurous, this project combines basic stitches with a clever construction technique to create a delightful and functional accessory.
This earwarmer is crocheted in straight rows. The beauty lies in the textured section –– achieved by working in the third loop (Tlsc). This simple technique adds a touch of texture and creates a nice, stretchy finish that hugs your head comfortably.
Why You'll Love This Pattern:
Beginner-Friendly with a Twist: Great for those who have mastered basic crochet stitches and are looking to expand their skillset.
Quick and Easy Project: Whip up this cozy earwarmer in an afternoon – perfect for last-minute gifts or a satisfying weekend project.
Customizable: Feel free to adjust the length and width to fit your preference, or get creative with color combinations!
Materials:
Chunky Yarn (I used James C. Brett Marble chunky)
Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight (I'm using a 5mm hook)
Yarn needle (tapestry needle) for construction and weaving in ends
Let's Get Crocheting!
We won't delve into every basic stitch here, so a familiarity with single crochet, half double crochet, and working in the back and third loop (BLO) will be helpful.
This comprehensive video tutorial will guide you through every step of the process, making it easy to follow along even if you're a visual learner.
Pattern Notes:
Gauge is not essential for this project, but a tighter stitch will result in a more dense, warmer Ear Warmer. Play around with your hook size to find the fit and drape you prefer.
The pattern uses one kind of yarn, but feel free to customize it with multiple colors. Let your creativity flow!
Be sure to weave in all ends securely to prevent unraveling.

Modifications
If you want to modify the size of the hat start with the number of rows in the brim. You should have enough rows so it fits around your head with minimal stretching. Then when working the hat sc around evenly spaced in a multiple of 6.
For a bigger hat (foundation round higher than 66)
Round 1: sc evenly spaced in a multiple of 6
Round 2-9: sc around
Round 10: evenly decrease by 6 sts
Continue with rounds 2 – 10 until you get to 66, sc around 4 more round and then pick up the pattern at round 10
For a smaller hat (foundation round lower than 66)
Round 1: sc evenly spaced in a multiple of 6
Round 2-9: sc around
Round 10: pick up the pattern from the decrease round that ends 6sts lower than your foundation round. For example: If your foundation round was 60 sts, you would pick up the pattern from Round 15
Finishing Touches:
Once you've completed the hat body, it's time to add the finishing touches! Sew on a pom-pom of your choice using your tapestry needle

With Valentine's Day fast approaching I've got a crochet idea perfect for your special someone. This project requires only the basics of crochet skills so what are you waiting for? After all, nothing says 'I Love You' more than a handmade gift.
This pattern may seem familiar to any of you into paper crafts as a child like I was. We would make these out of construction paper at school and used them to house all the inevitable Valentine's we would receive. When I was trying to come up with a new crochet pattern for Valentine's Day, I couldn't get these paper hearts out of my head. So I came up with a way to make these hearts with crochet and now I'm going to share it with all of you.
Don't have time to make now? Pin for Later!
This pattern is available for free below or you can find a free PDF version on Ravelry: download now

Have you made your own heart basket weave? I would LOVE to see it. Tag me on Instagram @CraftyCovMom Also, are you guys familiar with the paper version of this craft? Let me know if you want me to do a post on that as well.
Materials
Hook - Use a size smaller than what is recommended on the yarn band. Recommended size on the brand I used was 4mm, I have used a 3mm hook.
Wool - I used Stylecraft Special DK but the pattern will work with any DK weight wool
Yarn A Plum - 1 ball
Yarn B Graphite - 1 ball
Darning Needle
Scissors
Abbreviations US Crochet Terms
Mc - Magic Circle
Ch - Chain
St/s - Stitch/es
Sl St - Slip Stitch
Sc - Single Crochet
FO - fasten off
RS - Right Side
WS - Wrong Side
Pattern Notes
Measurement: Using DK wool this heart is approximately 6'' x 6''
Tension/Gauge: Not critical for this project, however, if your stitches are too loose the heart will not hold together properly. This is why I've used a smaller hook than what is recommended on the yarn band.
The Crochet part of this pattern is simple, needing only the basics of skills. The complexity is in the construction so read the instructions carefully on how to sew together your pieces
Top Section of the Heart
This section is a simple semi-circle with a standard increase. It starts with a Magic Circle but is crocheted in rows.
I used a stitch marker to denote the WS as I find it really hard to tell the difference and it becomes important when you have to sew your pieces together
This section starts with a Magic Circle, is this something you struggle with? Check out my Magic Circle Tutorial post to skill up.
With Yarn A - MC, Ch1
Row 1 (RS): 3 Sc in the MC, pull closed, Ch 1 and turn (3 sts)
Row 2 (WS): 2 Sc in each st, Ch 1 and turn (6 sts) - insert your stitch marker on this side now if you like
Row 3 (RS): *Sc in the first st, 2 Sc in the next st, repeat from * 2 more times, Ch 1 and turn (9 sts)
Row 4 (WS): *Sc in the first 2 sts, 2 Sc in the next st, repeat from * 2 more times, Ch 1 and turn (12 sts)
Row 5 (RS): *Sc in the first 3 sts, 2 Sc in the next st, repeat from * 2 more times, Ch 1 and turn (15 sts)
Row 6 (WS): *Sc in the first 4 sts, 2 Sc in the next st, repeat from * 2 more times, Ch 1 and turn (18 sts)
Row 7 (RS): *Sc in the first 5 sts, 2 Sc in the next st, repeat from * 2 more times, Ch 1 and turn (21 sts)
FO, weave in ends
Make another semi-circle with Yarn A and then two with Yarn B
Weave Strands
These are super easy, straight lines crocheted back and forth
With Yarn A, Ch 31
Ensure you leave a good tail when you do your slip knot as you will use this to sew pieces together
Row 1 (RS): starting with the 2nd chain from the hook, SC in each st along, Ch 1 and turn (30 sts)
For the first row after a foundation chain I like to crochet into the 3rd loop, I like the way this looks more than the traditional way.
Row 2 (WS): Sc in each st along (30sts)
Row 3-4: Repeat Row 2, ending on WS (30 sts)
FO, leaving a longer than normal tail as you will use this to sew your pieces together
Make 3 more Weave Strands with Yarn A and then 4 with Yarn B
Constructing the Heart
Crocheting part of this pattern is over, now you are going to sew all your finished pieces together
All of this is done with WS facing, you will be making two of these, one with making the pieces crocheted with Yarn A and one with Yarn B
Lie each of your weave strands alongside each other. Using the yarn tails, sew the weave strands along the flat edge of your first semi circle,
then weave in the ends. Space them evenly so there is no space between.
Then take your second semicircle and do the same along the other end of your weave strands.
I know these pieces look NOTHING like a heart but they will, trust me
Making the Weave
This is the trickiest, most fiddly part of the pattern. I'm with you, you got this!
-Fold both of your finished pieces in half so they look like this (Photo 1), make sure that the WS is on the inside and the RS is on the outside
-Hold the Yarn A finished piece in your non dominant hand, and the finished piece for Yarn B perpendicular in your non dominant hand (Photo 2)
-Take the top strand from the finished piece of Yarn B and place it inbetween the two halves of the first strand in Yarn A (Photo 3)
-Continuing with that top strand of Yarn B, this time take the second strand of Yarn A and place it around the two halves of the second strand of Yarn A (Photo 4)
-Alternate going in and then around the weave strands from Yarn A until you get to the end.
-Once you are finished with the first strand of Yarn B it should look like this (Photo 5)
-Moving on to the second strand from Yarn B, alternate the in and out pattern used with the previous strand
-Once you are finished with the second strand from Yarn B your weave should look like this (Photo 6)
-You now have two strands left from Yarn B, keep alternating the in and out weave (Photo 7)
-If you've done the weave correctly the weave will look like this from the outside (Photo 8), and you should be able to open it up like this (Photo 9)
And you are done! Fill these adorable hearts with love notes or sweeties and give them out to all your Valentines π
