Holly Jolly Bed Runner

October 9, 2023 By

If you love to decorate for the Christmas season, then you’ll want to add this Holly Jolly Bed Runner to your crochet must-do list!

The Holly Jolly Bed Runner was specifically designed for the new crocheter. I wanted something festive that would also be approachable. It uses basic stitches in long rows which make it simple yet so striking! This is a fun, quick and easy project for Santa loving crocheters of all abilities.

As I said in the magazine intro, this project is meant to be a blanket at the foot of your bed, but it’s so soft and cuddly, you may find yourself wrapping it around your shoulders on a cool winter evening. Premier Serenity Chunky is the perfect yarn for the project. I mean, that gold buckle really pops beautifully against the red and black.

Available Now in Crochet World Winter 2023

The Holly Jolly Bed Runner is available exclusively at Crochet World Magazine. Pick up your copy of Crochet World Winter 2023 today.

Available now in Crochet World 2023 from Annie’s Catalog.

Frankenstein’s Monster Clutch

September 28, 2023 By

We’re celebrating Halloween all month long with this Frankenstein’s Monster clutch.

Designed to stand on it’s own, this blue eyed green monster bag has a zippered top to hold all your valuables safe inside. It can be used as a purse, pencil case, make-up bag and more. The gusset is narrow at the top by the zipper and wide at the base which allows it to stand. Make with or without a purse strap.

The Frankenstein’s Monster zipper pouch also features a bolt zipper pull. The sides and bottom are reinforced with heavy duty stabilizer so it flexible yet maintains it’s clutch shape.

Measurements: Approximately 9 ½” wide x 5 ½” tall x 2 ½” deep at base

More About The Frankenstein’s Monster Clutch

We call it Frankenstein’s Monster because of the scar on the forehead and bolt on the zipper pull. But we’ve also had people call it the Incredible Hulk or a Zombie. We can go with that, too.

The Frankenstein’s Monster Purse Crochet Pattern includes:

  • Written Instructions
  • 10 Pages
  • 10 Photos

The bag is made with 2 eyeball granny squares on the front panel and 2 plain granny squares on the back. A gusset is crocheted separately and joined to the front and back panels. The hair is crocheted at the end with regular crochet and spike stitches. Stabilizer, zipper, lining and optional handle give it a nice crisp look and make it super practical.
