Been dying to make a crochet curtain, but I haven't started yet. Here are some of my favorites around the web. This are beautiful curtains and also all patterns are free as of writing.
Colorful curtain by Ioana van Deurzen - It's pretty. This is good for your kitchen or dining area. Actualll almost all of the curtains of this post are good for your kitchen or dining area.
Flower Power Valance by Once Upon A Pink Moon. This is so popular and I could not wonder why. It is so beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Good for the kitchen also.
Big Bold Chevron Curtain by Moogly. Tamara is one of my favorite crocheter. I love her blog and I love her works. This curtain is so easy to make and can be actually used anywhere in you home.
Bernat Blocks-In-Blocks Curtains by Yarnspirations. This is nice and delicate. Wish I have so many time in my hand that I can make more of this.
Daisy Valance Design by Diane Stone for Crochet Magazine. This could look so nice even if your kitchen is painted white. I love white kitchen plus white curtains.
There are actually so many beautiful patterns around the web. And so many of them are for free. There are so many generous designers, they are one of the reasons why I share what I do here in my blog. I am inspired by those who share their beautiful creation for free.

This is a combination of a Purse for your Ipad or Tablet and a cellphone pouch. I thought of making a real purse but the purse turn out to be smaller and slimmer so I guess only an Ipad or Tablet will be able to fit in here. I used a special stitch on this project I really don't know what to call that stitches. I kept on searching this
on the internet. I found out from Interunet.com about this and she
calls it Wildflower stitches. But when I search it on the web about wildflower crochet stitches, this stitch will not come out. So if you know what really is the name of this stitch then comment below so that I can properly name this stitch also.
Materials:
Lily Sugar and Cream Kitchen Breeze
H hook/ 5 mm
G hook /4mm
Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Scissors
Buttons
Cloth for lining
IPAD PURSE:
Chain 80 plus 1 or multiples of 2 plus 1. Slip stitch on the first stitch to join.
R1. Chain 1, Half Double Crochet (HDC) all the way around and slip stitch on top of the first HDC.
R2. Yarn over, insert hook on the first stitch , pull up a loop (you'll
have 3 loops on your hook) insert hook unto the next stitch and pull up a
loop again (4 loops on hook).Insert hook unto the next stitch
again then pull up a loop (5 loops on hook) then yarn over and pull
through all loops. *Chain 1. Yarn over, insert hook on the same stitch you last worked on, pull up a loop (you'll
have 3 loops on your hook) insert hook unto the next stitch and pull up a
loop again (4 loops on hook).Insert hook unto the next stitch
again then pull up a loop (5 loops on hook) then yarn over and pull
through all loops* Repeat this until the end. Ending with Chain 1. Slip stitch on the first Chain 1.
R3. *HDC 2 in Chain 1 space from the previous round(do not chain 1 first HDC 2 directly). * Repeat this to end. This will create a flower like stitch.
If you don't understand what I am trying to say here. Watch this video from Interunet. This is how it is done.
R4-R15. Repeat R2 and R3. If you want to continue or you cant to make a bigger purse you can continue doing this ending with R3.
R16. Chain 1. SC in first stitch. SC all the way around. Turn.
R17- R18. Repeat R16.
R19. Chain 1, Skip the first stitch and SC all the way around. Turn. (This will decrease the stitches)
R20. Chain 1 SC in first stitch and SC all the way around. Turn.
R21-30. Repeat R19 and 20.
R31. Chain 1, Skip the first stitch and SC 11, chain 5 and skip 5 stitches (this will be your buttonhole). SC till the end. Turn
R33. Chain 1, Skip the first stitch and SC all the way around. When you reach to the Chain 5, SC 5 also in chain 5. Turn.
R32. Chain 1 SC in first stitch and SC all the way around. Do not turn. Continue to SC all way down to the edges until you come back to the first stitch of R32. Slip stitch in Chain 1 and fasten off. Weave all ends.
For the bottom part. You can either sew it together or you can closed it with single crochet. SC the the back and the front together.

R2. Chain 1, Half Double Crochet (HDC) all the way around and slip stitch on top of the first HDC.
R3. Yarn over, insert hook on the first stitch , pull up a loop (you'll
have 3 loops on your hook) insert hook unto the next stitch and pull up a

When I was making my version of Moogly's Amelia Shawl I used two skeins of RH Boutique Unforgettable Sunrise. But I did not used it all up. So I thought of making something out of the remaining yarn. And so is the birth of my new pattern. The Headband Crochet.
Materials:
Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable Sunrise
G, H, I hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors
Band
With G hook Chain 11.
R1. DC on the 4th chain from the hook. DC on each of the next 7 stitches. 8 DC's all in all plus the starting chain 3. Chain 3 and turn.
R2. DC on each of the next 7 stitches.
Repeat R2 until you reached the desired length of your headband.
Break the yarn and take your Tapestry Needle and stitch the two ends of your band together.
Flower H hook.
R1. Magic Ring. *Chain 3 and Slip stitch into the Magic Ring.* Repeat 5 more time. You will have 6 Chain 3 Loops on the ring. Closed up the ring.
R2. Slip stitch on the first chain 3 loop and Chain 1, HDC, DC, HDC Chain 1 and slip stitch into the loop. Do this on
all the chain 3 loops.
Change to I hook for a bigger petals below.
R3. Slip stitch on the back of the DC of the petals. Chain 4 and slip stitch again on to the back of the DC of the next petal. Do all this until you reached the last petal.
R4. Slip stitch on the first chain 4 loop and chain 1, HDC 3 DC, HDC, chain 1 and slip stitch in the loop. Do this on all the remaining Chain 4 loops. Then slip stitch to the first stitch and fasten off.
Attached your flower to the band you made and Whalah!!! its all done! That's how easy it is.
So that's it. I hope you enjoy this post. If you have any questions or
suggestions kindly leave a comment below. I'll be glad to answer them.
