Ever wondered how a crochet design comes to life? In this behind-the-scenes video, I’m taking you along as I create the Checkered Rose Blanket—from the very first spark of inspiration all the way to the finished design.

This video shows how to crochet the floral square motif used in the Checkered Rose Blanket and Pillow patterns—a modern twist on the classic Irish rose. I’ll walk you through the motif step by step, showing how to crochet in the front and back loops and how to make simple cluster stitches. This project is perfect for intermediate crocheters or adventurous beginners looking to grow their skills.

Join me in this step-by-step crochet tutorial where I’ll show you how to join motifs using the back loop slip stitch. This easy, beginner-friendly technique creates a clean, sturdy seam with a crisp edge — perfect for projects made with motifs in different colors. Best of all, it’s a fast and tidy join that leaves you with fewer ends to weave in than other joining methods like the invisible mattress stitch. Whether you’re working on blankets, pillows, or any modular crochet project, this method will give your work a professional finish every time.

Grab your current WIP and join me in the mountains for a tranquil crochet session – no talking, no tutorials, just soothing crochet stitches. (Subtitles are available for the text shown at the beginning.) Let your cares drift away on the breeze, while a warm and relaxing instrumental soundtrack blended with the sounds of nature, immerses you in a calming crochet experience. Whatever your day has been like, I hope this video will bring you a quiet, peaceful moment in which you can relax and rejuvenate.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to add a simple beaded edging to your projects. Using just two stitches—chains and a beaded slip stitch—you can create an elegant finish perfect for shawls, scarves, collars, and hems. I demonstrate how to add beads one at a time while crocheting, with detailed guidance on tools, materials, and stitch counts. This technique works wonderfully with projects like my Sweet Season Shawl.

This short tutorial will show you how a Moebius twist works and how you can use it to crochet a cowl from the center out to highlight the color changes in a gradient yarn.

The Overlapping V-stitch creates a rich, cable-like texture that’s ideal for blankets and soft furnishings. In this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly where to place your hook so the stitch comes together smoothly and confidently.
