Crochet

I made this doily, but I used a thicker cotton yarn because I haven't worked with thin crochet thread in a really long time. It measures about 12 1/2 inches across. The pattern is by Jayda InStitches. I might make a few more and then maybe try the thinner thread for a smaller one, but I kind of like the size of this one. Also, I will need to block it to get it nice and flat. I thought the heart in the center was cute. :)

I love it!
 
I crocheted an ear "muff" (?) to tie under my chin
I dislike the headband style cause they creep up on my head and expose my ear lobes. Hats are too hot.
I wish I had directions on making it the long way. I had to make it up as I went along, didn't realize how much it shrank from the chain stitch, or how to round off the ends. Hope I still have the purpley multicolored yarn I had

That is cute! I remember having that style as a kid. It definitely stays in place better than the headband style.

When I do a long-way project, I often start with a hook that's one up from what the project calls for and then switch to the smaller hook once I start the pattern. I think for the ends, you would need to increase for a couple of rows and then decrease for a couple, probably at both ends. I would need instructions for that as well. :)

I bought a wooden serving tray, and I made a cotton placemat to protect the wood. I used the rice stitch and then put a border around it to strengthen it up. I'm very happy with the result. I love being able to make something functional with my crochet hook.

@PTree15 That is really nice-first I love how the colors come together!
I've been seeing so many stitches new to me since googling crochet!
Is this a cotton yarn?

Thank you, Silva, me too! Yes, it is 100 percent cotton, medium weight.
 
I made these Easter napkin rings (pattern by Jayda InStitches). I think they are so cute. I was going to maybe bring them to my sister's for Easter, but I'm not sure they are her cup of tea, lol. I'm going to make some for every season :). They are made with 100 percent cotton. I have to work on the zig-zag pattern for the eggs. I'm not that great at it, lol, but these are definitely usable!
