Patterns that work for both men and women are not easy to find. I designed the Brookside patterns with this in mind.
These patterns use the spiked boxes stitch pattern, which when worked in rows makes a sort of herringbone pattern with the stitches that looks great on both men and women!
These patterns are all classified as advanced beginner and the PDFs have EVERYTHING you might need to make these patterns, including tutorials and linked videos tutorials for the special stitches mentioned above, supplemental pattern pictures, stitch charts, and row trackers (not available for the coaster pattern)!
Not a beginner? The PDFs also have a consolidated, printer-friendly version of the pattern for you more experienced crocheters.
These fun patterns use what I call the Kiss Stitch, a variation of crossed double crochets worked in rows and in rounds to make all the cozy things!
These patterns are all beginner friendly and the PDFs have EVERYTHING you might need to make these patterns, including photo and video tutorials for special stitches, supplemental pattern pictures, stitch charts, and row/round trackers!
