Joy of Creation Crochet

Check out my new pattern, Sunlace Bandana, available in  I Like Crochet magazine , October 2025 issue.  Pair the joyful tones of late-summer sunshine with delicate stitches in the Sunlace Bandana! This airy bandana is a fantastic between-season staple for tying back long hair on those unseasonably warm fall days. Use a fine weight yarn and a floral lace stitch to create a flowy, breathable fabric. It adds a touch of free-spiritedness to any outfit, and would pair particularly well at a festival, picnic or any outing with friends. You will also find other beautiful patterns in this issue . Let’s celebrate the upcoming shift in seasons with brand new patterns created for cooler weather and warmer color palettes.  From a lacy bandana and new scarf to a gorgeous granny square dress (yes, a new crochet dress) there’s something for everyone to treasure inside this new issue.

The Pretty in Pink Granny Square is a quick crochet project featuring a textured circle at the center. It’s perfect if you’re making squares for World Granny Square Day or just want to enjoy a fun, relaxing make. You can stitch up several of these squares and join them to create pretty items like a bag, table runner, blanket, or anything your creativity inspires.
