Hibiscus Top
I recently finished crocheting the Hibiscus Top designed by Filipina crochet designer Mgypsy. For this project, I used milk cotton yarn from The Attic Yarn and Craftery, and a 4.00mm Tulip Sorbet hook from Oh My Yarn.
The top is supposed to mimic the hibiscus flower. The petals add textural dimension to the top, making it an instant conversation piece! I will definitely wear this out someday.
I highly recommend this to intermediate crocheters who are looking for a project to work on while on quarantine. It is satisfying to work on while watching movies and webinars.
Enjoy!
Blythe Top
I recently finished crocheting the Blythe Top by Filipina crochet designer Gottahook. I was impressed with the clarity of the instructions. I enjoyed working with the lemon peel stitch, which is new for me.
For this project, I worked with yarn from Oh My Yarn!, and a 4.00mm hook. I made it while listening to podcasts and watching videos. I would say that it is Netflix-friendly!

Bow Tie Top
I just crocheted this beautiful Bow Tie Top! I followed this tutorial by Filipina crochet designer Purple Haze Crochet. I used milk cotton yarn from Oh My Yarn!, and I worked with a 5.00mm hook.
This project is fun to make as you can easily watch a movie while crocheting. The tutorial was also clearly taught, so finishing it is a breeze.
I hope that you can also try this project out!
Crochet Bralette
I just finished crocheting this bralette. I followed the pattern by Shyler Crochets, and this video tutorial really took me from total wearables noob to novice in no time. I used one ball of Oh My Yarn Cotone Medio yarn in tree, and a size 5mm hook.
I highly recommend this pattern if you are also dipping your toes into the world of crocheted wearables. It is easy to follow. I was able to finish it in a couple of days.
Enjoy your new crochet project!
Lion Dance Amigurumi
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Lunar New Year!
I just finished crocheting this lion dance amigurumi doll using the free lion dollie pattern from Yarn It Darn It. I used cotone latte yarns from Oh My Yarn and a 4mm hook.
Crochet allows me to meditate and reflect on the events that transpired in my life. The pandemic has exposed to me who my real friends and family are. Crochet has been my meditative process of choice to weigh decisions and discern life choices. When it comes to trusting people, I make sure to tabulate the pros and cons of each individual. Crochet helps me think deeper and therefore, decide better who to trust and who to be wary of.
This is why it is only fitting that I welcome the Year of the Ox with an adorable lion dance amigurumi which has enabled me to reflect while crocheting it. I hope that you also have a process of thinking things through.
Have a prosperous year ahead, everyone!
Cable Crocheted Beanie
The global pandemic has motivated me to crochet for charity. This has been an enjoyable endeavor, however, I also wanted to expand my creativity. I continued to watch crochet tutorials on YouTube. One of the patterns that I liked was the crochet cable hat by Sirin’s Crochet. I followed it, and I was able to make my own beanie using Red Heart Super Saver in baby pink which I have purchased from Oh My Yarn.
It took me three days to finish this beanie. I made it while taking a course on Coursera. It was a lovely experience, and I highly recommend this pattern as it is easy to follow and understand.
I look forward to sharing more of my projects with you in the coming weeks!
The Red Fern Beanie
I enjoyed crocheting this red beanie using fern stitch. I used Oh My Yarn’s Cotone Medio yarn in red. I used the crocheted beanie pattern by Crochet for Baby on YouTube.
This beanie pattern has trained me to be more patient. Before doing this hat, I was crocheting simpler designs. This really taught me to follow a more complex pattern step by step. At first, I was challenged by the stitches, but eventually, I found myself enjoying it. It was a journey in itself, and I’m pleased with the result.
I am now ready to take on more complex patterns thanks to this hat. If you are looking for a challenging hat that still uses basic stitches, give this a try! You will get a pretty beanie in the process, and you might also enjoy making it.
Mang Tae
I recently crocheted three amigurumis of the Mang Tae rag doll from the Netflix series It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. I used the pattern and materials from Oh My Yarn!, a local shop that sells yarns, notions, and essentials for knitters and crocheters. Since they are based at Divisoria, prices are guaranteed to be reasonable. They carry reputable brands of notions to ensure that crafters can enjoy their tools for many years to come.
I enjoyed the pattern which was originally designed by OMY (you may purchase the pattern here) because it was easy to follow and understand. The amigurumi kit (I got Kit A, which you may purchase here) was generous and I was able to make three dolls using three different hook sizes (3.5mm, 4.5mm, and 5.0mm). This project was the perfect weekend getaway for my mind, especially since staying at home for the past six months could get stifling at times.
Crochet has been therapeutic for me because I was able to get lost in the stitches of my projects. I highly recommend this craft for everyone. It is not just for old ladies anymore. With shops like OMY, it is easy to get access to quality tools and yarns to jumpstart your crafting journey at home.
Happy crocheting!
