Cecily Scarf
I’m so excited to introduce the updated Cecily Scarf, a modern crochet scarf designed around the beautiful herringbone half double crochet stitch. This stitch creates a subtle, elegant texture while giving the scarf a lovely drape and fluid movement.
Whether you prefer a timeless, single-coloured accessory or something a little more playful, the Cecily Scarf gives you both options in one pattern.
A Relaxing Crochet Project
The Cecily Scarf is worked from tip to tip, creating a beautifully balanced shape.
You’ll begin at one tip and gradually increase until the scarf reaches its full width. From there, you’ll work through the body section using an easy, repeating stitch pattern. The rhythm of the herringbone hdc makes this part especially relaxing to crochet, while the subtle texture keeps it interesting.
Once you’ve reached your desired length, you’ll begin decreasing towards the opposite tip, creating a graceful, tapered finish.
The result is a scarf with a beautiful shape and effortless drape.
Striped or Uni-Coloured?
One of my favourite things about the Cecily Scarf is that you can choose the look you love most.
The pattern now includes instructions for both a striped and a uni-coloured version. Make it in one colour for a simple, timeless accessory, or combine contrasting colours to create a more playful and eye-catching scarf.
Both versions are explained in the pattern, so you can easily decide which style suits you best.

What’s Included in the Pattern?
The Cecily Scarf pattern has everything you need to make your own scarf, including:
- Instructions for both the striped and uni-coloured versions
- A crochet chart
- Step-by-step instruction photos
- A detailed explanation of the herringbone half double crochet stitch
- Three length options: Short, Medium and Long
- Instructions for easily adjusting the length to your preference
- Clear and detailed written instructions
- US crochet terminology
The Herringbone Half Double Crochet Stitch
The herringbone half double crochet, or herringbone hdc, is what gives the Cecily Scarf its distinctive texture.
It creates a subtle diagonal effect across the fabric without making the stitch pattern feel complicated. Once you get into the rhythm of the stitch, it becomes wonderfully repetitive and relaxing to work.
If you haven’t tried herringbone hdc before, don’t worry. The pattern includes a detailed explanation and step-by-step photos to guide you through it.
Choose Your Perfect Length
Everyone has a different preference when it comes to scarves, which is why the Cecily Scarf comes in three length options: Short, Medium and Long.
And if none of those is quite right for you, the pattern also explains how to adjust the length, so you can make your scarf exactly as long as you’d like.
A Scarf You’ll Love to Wear
The Cecily Scarf is designed to be a relaxing project with a satisfying, repetitive stitch pattern and a beautifully balanced finished shape.
Make it in a single colour for a classic and elegant accessory, or add contrasting stripes for a fun pop of colour. Whichever version you choose, the herringbone texture and graceful drape make this a scarf you’ll want to reach for again and again.
I hope you enjoy crocheting the Cecily Scarf as much as I enjoyed designing it! 💛

Juniper Scarf
The Juniper Scarf is the latest addition to my skinny scarf collection, joining the Meadows Scarf, the Anoora Scarf and the Cecily Scarf. While all three designs share the same long, narrow silhouette, each has its own character and stitch pattern.
For the Juniper Scarf, I chose a diagonal granny stitch that beautifully highlights self-striping yarns and creates a fabric that’s both textured and lightweight. The result is a modern accessory that’s as enjoyable to crochet as it is to wear.
A Beautiful Diagonal Granny Stitch Design
The Juniper Scarf is worked using a diagonal granny stitch, creating a beautiful fabric with subtle texture and movement. The stitch pattern is easy to memorise, making it a relaxing project to crochet whether you’re at home or taking your yarn on the go.
The Best Yarn for the Juniper Scarf
While the scarf can be made in a variety of yarns, it truly shines when worked in self-striping 4 ply sock weight yarn. The gradual colour changes highlight the diagonal construction beautifully, creating a striking effect without the need for colour changes or extra ends to weave in.
Whether you choose gentle tonal shades or bold colour transitions, the yarn does much of the work for you, creating a scarf that looks intricate but simple to crochet.

Beginner-Friendly Crochet Pattern
One of the things I love most about this pattern is its accessibility. The construction is straightforward, and the repetitive stitch pattern makes it suitable for adventurous beginners as well as experienced crocheters looking for a satisfying project.
To make the pattern easy to follow, I’ve included clear written instructions, detailed photos, and a crochet chart. During testing, one tester described the pattern as "very clear and straightforward" and "perfect for beginners," while also highlighting the clear photos and chart. Whether you prefer learning visually or from written directions, you’ll have everything you need to create your own Juniper Scarf.
Styling Your Finished Scarf
The finished scarf is lightweight, versatile, and easy to style. Wear it loosely around your neck, tie it in a simple knot, or drape it over your shoulders for a touch of handmade elegance. Its slim profile makes it the perfect accessory for adding a little warmth and colour without the bulk of a traditional scarf.
Ready to Crochet the Juniper Scarf?
If you’re looking for a relaxing crochet project that combines a timeless stitch with a contemporary silhouette, the Juniper Scarf might just become your new favourite make. Grab your favourite self-striping sock yarn and enjoy watching the colours unfold as you crochet.

Emberdot Shawl
A cosy one skein wonder
The Emberdots Shawl is one of those projects that feels indulgent yet wonderfully simple. Made with just one skein of Hobbii Winter Glow, it is a satisfying make that grows quickly on your hook and keeps you engaged from start to finish.
If you love projects that make the most of a single cake of yarn, this one is for you. No colour changes, no yarn chicken, just sit back and enjoy the flow.
Texture that pops
What truly makes the Emberdots Shawl special is its playful texture. The bobble stitches create raised little dots scattered across the fabric, giving the shawl depth and character without making it heavy.
The contrast between smooth stitches and those soft, rounded bobbles adds just the right amount of interest. It is tactile, cosy and eye-catching all at once.
An elegant asymmetrical shape
The shawl is worked as an asymmetrical triangle, which means it drapes beautifully around the shoulders. This shape feels modern and relaxed, perfect for everyday wear.
You can wrap it snugly around your neck on colder days or let it fall loosely over a coat or jumper. The gentle bias growth keeps the project interesting as it develops.
How the construction works
You will begin at the very bottom corner of the shawl. From that point onwards, you increase on one side only in every row.
This consistent one sided increase creates the elegant asymmetrical triangle shape and gives the shawl its beautiful drape. Because the shaping is predictable, the pattern quickly becomes rhythmic and relaxing to crochet.
As the rows grow longer, you will see the texture develop and the shawl start to take on its distinctive flowing form.

Yarn choice: Hobbii Winter Glow
Winter Glow is a beautiful gradient yarn with a soft feel and subtle colour transitions. As you crochet, the shades shift gradually, adding even more dimension to the textured stitch pattern.
Because the shawl uses only one skein, it is also a lovely gift project or a treat for yourself without committing to a large quantity of yarn.
Who is this pattern for
The Emberdots Shawl is written for intermediate crocheters, mainly because of the bobble stitches and shaping. That said, an adventurous beginner who is comfortable with basic stitches and ready to try something new will absolutely manage.
The pattern includes a clear chart as well as helpful step by step photos. These visual aids make it easier to understand the stitch placement and construction, especially if you are new to reading charts.
A project that keeps you engaged
There is something very satisfying about watching the asymmetrical triangle grow row by row, with the bobbles appearing like little embers across the fabric. It is rhythmic enough to relax with, yet varied enough to keep things interesting.
If you are looking for a fun, textured, one skein project that feels a little bit special, the Emberdots Shawl might just be your next favourite make.
Småkär Shawl
A Triangle Shawl in Inset Mosaic Crochet
The Småkär Shawl is a triangular shawl designed to showcase the beauty of inset mosaic crochet. It’s a striking yet soothing project that plays with colour, rhythm, and texture, perfect if you love colourwork but prefer a calm, methodical crochet flow.
What Is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a fabulous and fun form of colourwork. Where other colourwork techniques create designs by switching colours within a single row or round, such as tapestry crochet or stranded colourwork, mosaic crochet works a little differently.
Instead of changing colours mid-row, you work two rows in the same colour, leaving spaces that will be filled in later with a contrasting colour. These spaces are created intentionally and then completed in subsequent rows, building up the pattern step by step.
There are two main types of mosaic crochet,
- Overlay mosaic crochet
- Inset mosaic crochet
This pattern is available as a PDF
Inset Mosaic Crochet Explained
The technique used for the Småkär Shawl is inset mosaic crochet.
It’s called inset because you fill previously made chain spaces by in-setting longer stitches, usually double crochets, into them on the next right-side row in a contrasting colour. The chain spaces from earlier rows remain unworked behind these stitches, creating a clean, graphic look.
Inset mosaic crochet is worked using,
- Two rows of each colour
- Turning your work at the end of every row
- Carrying the unused colour neatly up the side
This approach significantly reduces the number of yarn ends you’ll need to weave in, which is always a win.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
I’ve designed this mosaic crochet pattern to be as accessible as possible. The Småkär Shawl is an excellent project if you’ve never tried inset mosaic crochet before.
The stitch pattern is,
- Easily memorable
- Made up of simple repeats
- Relaxing once you find the rhythm
To support you along the way, I’ve also included a photo tutorial, making the learning process even smoother.
Yarn Choice: Hobbii Amigo
For this shawl, I chose Hobbii Amigo, a DK weight acrylic yarn that is wonderfully soft and lightweight. It’s ideal for scarves and wraps because it’s warm without being heavy, and completely non-itchy.
Why Amigo Works So Well
- 100% high-quality HB acrylic
- Soft, airy volume
- Comfortable to crochet with
- Great stitch definition for mosaic patterns
HB stands for High-Bulk, a production technique that uses steam and pressure to gently curl the fibres. This makes the yarn fuller, lighter, and especially pleasant to work with.
Zoya Tote Bag
The Zoya Tote Bag is a chic and practical crochet bag that easily fits into your everyday life. Whether you’re heading to the office, running errands, shopping, or enjoying a fun day out, this tote is designed to carry it all with style.
Why “Zoya”?
The name Zoya means life—a playful nod to the way many women describe their bag as holding their “whole life.” With space for all your essentials (and then some), this tote certainly lives up to its name. Just don’t forget to keep an eye on it!
A Crochet Tote for Every Occasion
Crochet totes are wonderfully versatile. They’re perfect for carrying the little things you need day to day, but also sturdy enough for larger items like books, laptops, or even a set of gym clothes.
The Zoya Tote starts with a solid bottom for structure. From there, you’ll move on to the body, worked in a satisfying rhythm of sc3tog stitches that give the bag its unique texture. To finish, you’ll create sturdy handles made with fun-to-crochet Romanian cords.

Skill Level
I’ve designed the pattern to be as beginner-friendly as possible. That said, a few of the stitches may take a little practice, so I’ve rated the pattern as intermediate. Don’t let that scare you—once you get into the flow, it’s a very rewarding project.
Yarn Choice: Hobbii Friends Ribbon Gold
For this design, I used Hobbii Friends Ribbon Gold—a super bulky yarn made of 90% cotton and 10% polyester. It has a unique flattened tubular structure, making it soft, flexible, and wonderfully durable.
The color range includes all the classic Friends shades, with a subtle golden sparkle woven in. This makes Ribbon Gold easy to mix and match with other yarns from the Friends collection.
Ribbon Gold is also a fantastic choice for other home and accessory projects like baskets, placemats, potholders, pillow covers, carpets—and of course, bags and totes. Best of all, it’s machine washable at 30°C (86°F), making it perfect for everyday use.
Love is All Throw
The Love is All Throw is a celebration of warmth, comfort, and love, quite literally woven into every stitch. This beautifully textured throw is made using the inset mosaic crochet technique, creating a fabric with striking geometric hearts that flow seamlessly into one another.
Each heart connects with the next, symbolising how love links us all together, a perfect project to make for someone special or to keep for yourself as a cosy reminder of love in its many forms.
Despite its intricate look, the pattern is surprisingly approachable once you get into the rhythm of the repeats. The inset mosaic technique means there are no endless ends to weave in, and you’ll enjoy watching the hearts appear row by row as you work.
This pattern is available as a PDF
The result is a throw that’s both modern and timeless, bold hearts, soft texture, and a
design that feels meaningful and joyful. Whether draped over a sofa, gifted for a wedding or Valentine’s Day, or simply used to brighten up a chilly evening, the Love is All Throw is sure to make you smile every time you see it.
🧶 I made my sample using Hobbii Amigo, a soft and durable DK acrylic yarn that gives beautiful stitch definition and is available in a wide range of colours, perfect for creating your own colour story of love.
Braid Plaid
The Braid Plaid is a playful yet elegant crochet blanket designed to keep you cozy while adding a touch of style to your home.
The Braided Look
The signature braids might look intricate, but they’re delightfully simple to make. You’ll create loops and then “braid” them by pulling them through one another. All of the stitches are basic—chains, single crochet-, and double crochet stitches—making this pattern approachable even if it looks advanced.
The finished blanket has a wonderful weight to it, making it perfect as a lapghan. If you’d like to add a pop of colour, try alternating shades: work rows 2 and 3 in one colour, then rows 4 and 5 in another.
This pattern is available as a PDF
About the Yarn
I chose the rich Cognac shade of Hobbii Friends Wool to give the blanket a warm, autumnal vibe. But with 58 colours to choose from, you can create a version that perfectly matches your style.
Friends Wool is spun from four threads, giving it strength and elasticity while remaining breathable and cozy—the perfect balance for a long-lasting crochet piece.
Rosalia shawl
The Rosalia shawl is a floral inspired shawl with a huge spring vibe. It’s the perfect shawl to celebrate that spring has sprung!
Rosalia
Rosalia means ‘rose’ in Latin and as I designed this shawl for the Hobbii Spring Bloom – Floral Frenzy Campaign, I thought it was the perfect name.
This name has been used for centuries and is also associated with Saint Rosalia, the patron saint of Palermo in Italy. It can also refer to a melody in which a phrase is repeated successively, each time a step or half step higher.The latter reminded me of the pattern repeat
Chrocheted Petals
Some of my pattern testers told me the petals were quite challenging to make. I made a few extra photos using solid yarn to clarify this stitch even better. I’ve also made a video and included the link in the pattern.
I’ve tried to make this crochet pattern as accessible as possible for beginners, but some of the stitches might be a bit tricky. This is why I’ve graded the pattern as intermediate.
This pattern is available as a PDF
Asymmetrical crochet shawl
You’ll start with making the bottom corner and from then on you’ll increase on one side every row until you reach the desired width. Then you’ll make the body of the shawl and after that you’ll end with the decrease part. The measurements are 21 x 215 cm!
Yarn selection: Hobbii Unicorn
For this crochet shawl I used Hobbii Unicorn. Unicorn is a light weight merino wool/ polyamide yarn that’s ever so soft. It’s the perfect yarn for soft, spring/summer shawls and wraps that will not be itchy at all. It has a wonderful, airy volume.
Unicorn comes in hanks and each hank of Unicorn is unique because the yarn is hand-dyed. As the yarn is dyed in small batches, two skeins will never be the same and the colours vary more than usual from lot to lot.
Forelsket Wrap (Mosaic Crochet)
The Forelsket wrap is an extra large mosaic crochet scarf you can wrap around yourself on cold winter days or chilly summer evenings.
Forelsket
Why is this wrap called the Forelsket wrap? Forelsket stands for the euphoria of first falling in love. It is the Norwegian word for falling head over heels in love. And isn’t this the best feeling ever? Personally I think you shouldn’t limit yourself to people! I can easily fall in love with designs, food and my cats!
Inset Mosaic Crochet
Mosaic Crochet is a fabulous and fun form of colourwork. Where other colourwork techniques create the design by switching colours within a row or round, for example tapestry crochet or the stranded colourwork technique, in mosaic crochet you don’t. Instead you work two rows in the same colour, leaving spaces to fill up with the next colour in the next two rows. Then also, you’ll leave spaces to fill in, in subsequent rows. There are two different types; overlay- and inset mosaic crochet.
The technique I used is called Inset mosaic crochet. It’s called like this because you’ll fill the ch-sps in by “in-setting” longer stitches (dcs) in the next RS row in a contrasting colour, leaving the ch-sps unworked behind.
As said it’s worked using 2 rows of each colour. You’ll be turning your work at the end of each row and will carry the unused colour up the side of your work. This will minimize the amount of ends you’ll need to weave in.

Advanced beginner
I’ve tried to make this mosaic crochet pattern as accessible as possible for beginners. I think it’s an excellent pattern if you’ve never tried inset mosaic crochet before. The pattern is easily memorable and consists of simple repeats. I’ve added a photo tutorial to make it even easier!
Yarn selection: Hobbii Amigo
Amigo is a DK weight acrylic yarn that’s soft as a feather. It’s the perfect yarn for soft, warm scarves and wraps that will not be itchy at all. It has a wonderful, airy volume. It is produced from 100% HB acrylic of a very high quality and comes in a big selection of colors.
By the way, HB stands for High-bulk. It is a production technique that uses steam and pressure to make the fibers contract a little and curl so that they become fuller. The result is a light and soft yarn that is both comfortable to work with.
For this crochet wrap blanket I used Hobbii Amigo in nine different vibrant colours. I wanted to give it a festive touch. Amigo is available in 61 different colours so you can create your own personal colour palette.

Vesna Scarf
The Vesna scarf is a colourful, quirky scarf. Perfect for Spring!
Vesna means Spring in some slavic languages and Spring is exactly what I had in mind when I designed this cute crochet scarf with a bold ruffle! The Vesna scarf makes a cosy accessory.
Colour blocks
I gave the Vesna scarf different sized colour blocks. I love the effect they have and it made me able to play around with the colours I picked.
The scarf is worked tip to tip in rows. The first part you’ll increase, then you’ll make the body. I chose not to decrease in order to give the scarf two different, quirky ends.
When you’re finished with the body you are going to add the side ruffle. This gives the scarf a unique look!
Easy stitches
The pattern is suitable for the advanced beginner. You’ll make a lot of single crochet and chain stitches! Easy! I’ve made a photo tutorial to make it even easier.

Cosy extra fine is available in 49 colours and machine washable!

It creates very colourful stripes. Please pick your own colours and make your own colour combinations to create a unique gift bag!

Two openings
The Jasmine cover is designed to fit a 2 liter hot water bottle. I created a bottom opening to ensure you can remove the bottle easily. You might want to wash it now and then! At the same time, the top opening allows you to fill the hot water bottle without having to remove the cover. I designed a ‘collar’ that’s high enough to cover the top part of your hot water bottle.
Yarn selection: Tea Time XL
The yarn I used is machine washable which is a must for something you take to bed! Tea time XL is the thicker version of the regular Tea Time yarn. Its medium thickness will make it easy to crochet with. Tea Time XL is a very colourful 100% acrylic cake yarn. I love the playful colour transitions it has. Fun fact: The palette pays homage to the diverse flavours of tea around the world. Which one is your favourite?

You’ll crochet in the round, so it really resembles an amigurumi project! Crocheting in the round creates a double layered scarf which makes is extra nice and warm in the winter

Benefits of picking up a crochet hook
Whereas back in 1800, when those first grannies were made, crochet was a survival skill for us human beings, nowadays it’s all about helping our planet survive and mental health.
When you use your hands, your brain starts producing all these feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin. And they are the most natural antidepressants that exist!
Crochet can also help you feel calmer and reduce anxiety by just focusing on the project in your hands.The easy, repetitive movements that make up crocheting can ease your body and mind. (According to the American Counseling Association)
Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6
I love using cotton for my bags as it doesn’t really stretch and is 100% biodegradable. Linen is a good alternative as it’s even more sustainable.
