All About Ami

a blog about my love of ami-gurumi & crochet

Posted 10 hours ago

Recently some of my friends and family have moved into new homes! I love crocheting handmade gifts, so I whipped up some of these cotton potholders/dishcloths for them! This simple, modern design has beautiful textured ridges created by crocheting in the back loops only. The loop at the top enables them to be hung up too! These fun, bright potholders really bring a pop of colour to the kitchen :) The free pattern by “Apple Blossom Dreams” can be found HERE. For other crocheted housewarming gift ideas, see these beautiful baskets that I previously blogged about HERE! I love adding crocheted touches to the home!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d do a round-up of special Valentine crocheted projects that you could make for your loved ones or for yourself to celebrate ♥ The free patterns are available for all of these projects (click through the links to access them)!

Row 1: Valentine Teddy by me (my second ever original design!), Hearts by Little Birdie Secrets (I LOVE using these hearts to embellish cards- see here and here), Valentine Popsicles by Jennygurumi (her first original design!)

Row 2: Lovebirds by Lion Brand (a cute set that you can personalize with your own special colours, a hat, or maybe initials), Amigurumi Hearts by Roxycraft (perfect if you want a 3-D heart instead of the 2-D ones above), Sweetheart Bunny by me (my Valentine project from last year!)

Row 3: Heart Box of Chocolates by Red Heart (How amazing is this? These chocolates will last forever…and are calorie-free ;D), Valentine Envelopes by Lion Brand (such a cute way to send a special letter or photo), Chocolate Truffle Scarf by Twinkie Chan (super kawaii for chocolate lovers to wear proudly!)

Hope these give you some ideas of how you can add some crocheted touches to your Valentine’s Day! They’re a fun take on your traditional chocolate, flowers, and stuffies that are typically gifted for the occasion! Much love to you all ♥
