January's Book n' Hook Club Update

Here’s what I made…

This was the first ever month for the Book n’ Hook Club, a book club made for crocheters!

This month we listened to Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone on audiobook while we crocheted some stuff and it was so fun!!

I ended up getting a buuunch of Harry potter characters made, I completed everyone I wanted to except for Snape :/

I haven’t made patterns for these guys yet, but it’s something I’m definitely interested in if you would like them! Make sure to let me know by commenting on the YouTube video or below!

Obviously, I’m not the only one that crocheted some stuff during the Book n’ Hook Club!

Here are some of my favorite submissions to #booknhookclub that other watchers made durring the Book n’ Hook Club! As you can see, they don’t have to be based around the book, but they can be!

Try to join us for the livestreams! We do one each week, and, if you want to re-watch the livestreams you can watch all the previous episodes that are uploaded after the livestream at our hub

How to Crochet Button-on Elf Ears

December 15, 2017December 15, 2017 by Louie Mensinger

Probably my favorite part about the Santa Hat pattern are the button-on Elf Ears you can make and add to the side of your Santa Hat! And you can remove them at any time so you’re not stuck as Santa’s helper forever.

This part of the pattern is a Club Crochet Exclusive meaning that you’ll need a membership to access the pattern. You can learn more about the other benefits of a membership and upgrade you’re account here!
