I hope to add pictures soon with it on a large size model. This pattern includes ribbing, colorwork, Latavian braids and lace work. links to video tutorials on some parts a...

This pattern was created to help teach cable basics to my knitting students. It is also named for my daughter, Anita. It is fairly simple to knit as it has only 1 type of cable stitch. I used Hobby Lobby Yarn called Effortless Super Bulky in colors Biscotti and Neptune horizon, for my samples. This is an acrylic and alpaca blend yarn. I like ho...

This fern frond patterned potholder is worked in a round and then sewn shut at the ends to create a double thick potholder. I use any 100% cotton yarn in worsted weight….but some like to make potholders from wool as well.

This stranded colorwork, double sided, potholder pattern was worked up using Hobby Lobby’s I love this cotton yarn…but any worsted weight cotton yarn will work just fine.

This double thick cotton potholder is worked using 2 contrasting strands of #4 cotton yarn. It can be adjusted in size by changing the sized DPNs you use.

Patrick and Patricia are ready to join your family and become a treasured animal doll. They make great gifts too. This pattern includes the amigurumi for the pig patterns as well as the clothing patterns.

This sweet little newborn hoodie sweater is only available in the newborn size…more sizes will be added in the future. I used a circular needle in U.S. size 6 as well as DPNs in U.S. size 6.

This pattern is worked on DPNs from the center out. It is switched to circular needles for the last 2 rows. I am listing it as an intermediate pattern just because of being on DPNs and having the first few rows be rather clumsy with all the needles. It really isn’t hard once you get past the first 5 or 6 rounds. This is the third pattern in the...

This is a diagonally worked Irish Moss stitch pattern. You may use whatever worsted weight cotton yarn you prefer….the pattern work with needles sizes 4 - 8 US sizes…I prefer size 6 as it isn’t too tight, but not super loose either.
