Weekend to-do: 👇🏻

▪︎Get more headbands
▪︎Get more velvet yarn
▪︎Make a million of these 😄

I just found out that velvet yarn gives some people a huge ick.

How do you feel about it??

The Addie Heaband is L I V E 🤗

I could have made 100 this past week, but I had to reign myself in and work on other things. Adulting is lame, am I right? 😂

Cleo (my 5 yo) will be so happy that I'm done with photos so she can finally wear hers. She's been patiently waiting. 😌

And this pink velvet is my all time favorite, for sure. Which is your favorite??

🌟 The Kent Collection 🌟

When I discovered the linked double crochet stitch, I was hooked, quite literally. 😄 My head was filled with so many designs utilizing this amazing stitch.

I now have 7 designs using linked double crochet and I have more coming!

Have you used this stitch before?? What have you made with it?

✨️ The Modern Rainbow Pillow ✨️

If you saw my stories, you know it's a gloomy, rainy, foggy day here in New England. So, to brighten my mood (and yours if you need it), here's a bunch of rainbows. 🌈 😄

I released this pattern 4 years ago yesterday!

And I think it's time to modify it and try to make one in blanket yarn. You know, after I finish my other 6 wips. 😅

Did you know I had a rainbow pillow pattern??

This design was not supposed to be a blanket...

When I originally designed this tulip square, I had only planned to release the square. As I was working it up, I decided to try it in different yarn weights, then decided I wanted more variations. Soon enough, I had made it in 3 different yarn weights, 3 different types of yarn, and 2 different shapes for the tulip section.

Then after all that, I decided I wanted to make the original worsted weight square into a quilt-esque blanket. And I absolutely love how it turned out. But I didn't want to only offer you one type of square.

So, I plan on creating two patterns:
1. The tulip garden blanket which will include the blanket pattern but only the original tulip square in worsted weight yarn.
2. The original tulip square in worsted, bulky, super bulky, and cotton weights. It will also include a circle version (the OG is square) which you can make in any yarn or weight. And the circle version will come in two sizes. This will come in handy depending on the project you're wanting to make with them.

The patterns will be sold separately, but do you also want a bundle where you can get all the square variations and the blanket pattern together??

Tell me what you think! All thoughts/opinions welcome! Thank you! 😊

Have I entered my plushie era?? 😂

Sunny is live and this may be my favorite stuffed animal make to date. She is so cute and quick to work up. The pattern is written so well and easy to follow too.

I was going to give her to one of my kids, like I usually do, but after finishing her, I decided she was just too perfect. So, she's mine and will live in my craft area so I can smile every time I see her. 😁

I spent the week making pink things for the Pink-a-thon hosted by

Now I have requests from all my children to make more loaf cats. 😄

I also have a new Merryall Wrap Scarf, which I needed because my husband accidentally washed my original wool one and felted it. 🫣

I also took this opportunity to make myself a pair of mittens that I definitely needed. I was sort of testing out a design idea I've had for a while. Maybe a late 2025 release. 🤷‍♀️

All in all, it was a great week of getting to know new makers and seeing all the talent this community has.

But now it's back to business and that means a tester call is coming soon! If you've been here even a few months, you should know what it is. 😉

Hi! 👋🏻

I'm Rachel. The (mostly) one woman show here at Hearth and Wool. I say mostly because my kids often model my work and my husband takes a lot of my photos. It's all about family here. 😊

My business is creating digital crochet patterns. I do my best to create designs that you will want to make for your home, your family, and the people you love. This account is where I share all about my business and snippets of my daily life as a homemaking homeschooling mama.

I want you to know the "WHO" behind this business.

✨️First, Jesus is my saving grace and I am blessed every day by God's love for me. I also have to constantly remind myself of that last part.

✨️I've been married to my husband, who you've probably never seen 🤣, for almost 14 years. We have 4 kids (2 boys & 2 girls) ranging from 3 to 12 years old. They are MY WORLD.

✨️I met my husband while we were both serving in the Army. I was in the Army for 8 years, and my husband will be retiring soon after over 20 years. I got out after my contract was up because I hated being away from our daughter, who was about 18 months old at the time.

✨️I learned to crochet when I was a little girl, forgot, then learned again in 2011 when I was pregnant with my first baby. My first project was a granny square blanket that I didn't finish (because I got frustrated with it) until my daughter was almost 3! 🙈 She still has it on her bed every night. 🥹

✨️I taught myself to knit in 2018 after several attempts and fails. I've learned so much from testing knit designs and finished my first sweater (a pattern test!) in January of 2019.

✨️I love daisies, chocolate, Autumn, hiking, crime dramas, and sarcasm.

✨️I'm also extremely passionate about homemaking, homeschooling, motherhood, non-toxic living, and whole body health. (DM me anytime about any of these topics!)

Say hi in the comments and tell me about yourself!

I'm so glad you're here! 🩷

It's a cat kinda week over here and I don't hate it at all 😁

It's a Teenie Mabel Kitty 😍

Jess has created one of the most detailed amigurumi patterns I have ever seen. This pattern offers multiple body styles and coloring options too. My daughter claimed it before it was even finished. 😊

The pattern is available now!

Do you have cats? How many?? What are their names???

Kai Kitty turned Ella Cat 🤩

Allow me to introduce you to my sweet kitty, in crochet form. 😄

I loved recreating my sweet Ella with the new Kai the Itty Kitty design from

I had the honor to test this kitty and I absolutely love how it came out. Don't ask me how many color changes I did. 🫣😅

Swipe through to see my kitty inspiration then tell me how good she looks because I'm still not super confident in my amigurumi skills. Some of ya'll are serious experts and I'm watching and learning. 🫡

The pattern is available now and if you want some inspiration, go check out all the Kai's on Brandi's account! And follow her too! 😁

I had the pleasure of testing the Artemis Cowl by 😊

This cowl can be worn three different ways, be made in bulky or super bulky yarn, and is such a quick project.

I'll admit, I don't love cowls, but I've worn this one almost every time we've gone outside this last week. The stitches are loose goosey so it doesn't feel like I'm choking to death, but it still keeps me warm, even in windy weather. I really love it.

The pattern is available now in her etsy shop!

Guess what???

The Aspetuck Coaster has been my best selling pattern for 3 years straight! 😲

And I released it 3 years ago 😲😲

When I started designing at the end of 2019, I remember telling my husband that if even one person bought my Twisted Tunisian Earwarmer, it would be worth it to me.

Now, here I am with over twenty designs and a bunch more in the planning stage. 🤩

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

Ya'll showed up 🥹

I know I created a lot of build up for this pattern release and you came through with excitement for me and it. 😊

I have been so excited to share this one with you. I have been wanting to design a temperature pattern for years and when this popped into my head, I didn't even know if it could be done or explained well enough to warrent a design. I spend months and months working up the design, choosing the colors, making all the pillows, and choosing a few very talented makers to test it out and make sure that what was in my head for so long actually came out in an understandable and complete way.

The pattern is written to be worked up with the seasons, buy I also give you some ideas for other ways to work them up. If I ever start feeling better 🤧🤕😴🤒, I'll be creating some reels to *hopefully* convince you to make one...or all four. 😄

I mean it when I say that if you've never wanted to do a temperature pattern (for whatever reason), you will enjoy this one. And if you've made a bunch of temperature projects, but never a pillow, you'll enjoy it just the same.

Leave a comment and tell me if you've:
▪︎Never made a temperature project
▪︎Started but never finished one
▪︎Made one project (blanket, scarf, etc)
▪︎Made more than one of them
