Last year in May, 2025, came the vision and release of the Mini American Flag Boho Granny Crochet Pattern, this year we are frogging that flag, to make room for the new 2.0 updated DIAGONAL pattern, that like the Original Boho Granny American Flag Blanket Pattern, has the Diverse Stripes, and the Stars crocheted into the Squares, and the Diverse Stitch overall aesthetics.
The 2.0 version will be sold separately, as well as in a reduced 2 pattern bundle with the 1st mini American flag heart plush pattern.
While they are both fun patterns, the new version is truer to the Original Doily Designs Boho Granny American flag design.
New features include the ability to change orientation of the Canton position from Horizontal to Vertical!
While this is a bit of an advanced pattern, beginners are encouraged to give it a try. Find tutorials on Youtube for this pattern, as well as finding help from the designer, Cathleen, on Etsy, Patreon, Kofi, or Substack.
With 4 Trim Patterns included in the Boho Mini crochet pattern, you might have to make several for gifts, and try all the different trims! 🎁
Thank you for stopping by and for your support.
Best wishes, happy crocheting and Happy American Independence 2026 🎉🇺🇸🧶

The votes are in and the Harvest Cloth & Pumpkin Pouch Pattern is back!
Etsy's AI might think it's a simple washcloth, but we know better, don't we? While it's great for storing soap and other goodies, it was just too charming to be scrubbing things. But if you want to use it as a washcloth, I highly recommend holding two strands of yarn together.
This pattern is a celebration of all things fun and creative, with the coming of Fall. It is perfect for making:
* Pumpkin Pouch: The drawstring makes it into a delightful little bag to hold gifts, candy, or other Autumn treasures. The best part, the drawstring is an accent that stays in the cloth where it is supposed to when it is lying completely flat. * Stitch Learning Project: This pattern is a great way to learn or practice some new stitches techniques. You'll get a fantastic handle on treble crochet (Tr) and front and back post stitches (FP/BP)
So grab your hook and let's make some fun, not-quite-washcloth pumpkin pouches, crocheting in the round!
Thank you for stopping by. Best wishes and happy crocheting! ♾️🧶➰
Crosses where first tested with a half and half glue/water mixture, which works well.
Secondly tested with 4 cups water to 1/4 cup cornstarch for stiffening, or starching, which also worked very well.
💎 Some were stiffened with jewels others without. When you attach your jewels only seems to matter if you used a water soluble adhesive. There was one cross that it would have been better to apply the jewel before starching.
When gifting Jeweled Crosses 💎✝️, why not consider letting the recipient choose the jewel, and maybe even yarn colors, and plank ends.
I have had several people prefer them not stiffened, and to attach their own jewels.
Drying times varied, based on yarn, and climate.
These varied from half a day, to a day and a half for bulky acrylic cross.
You can view the entire stiffening process on YouTube
