Crochet: Beanie, Toque
This is such a fun one to play with colors with!

Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
These fingerless texting gloves (with finger covers, which I personally love for their ‘stay put’-ness :) are worked in rows of simple single crochet. Worked in one piece start to finish… including joining of fingers and cuff! Shaping for a great fit all done by (simple) short rows.
Crochet: Hanging Ornament
Today, I took out some old thread and turned it into an angel…
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I should be calling this my neighborhood hit hat haha! I gave samples to all the moms and kids who were willing to be size testers for me and keep seeing all of them in their hats. When I tell them I’m so happy they like their hat, I always get the same response: “I LOVE this hat!” And… “can I get a (insert color) one?!”
Crochet: Tee
This completely seamless Henley is worked from top down all in nice, easy single crochet! Pattern includes instructions for three sleeve versions - cap-, short- and long-sleeve.
Crochet: Slippers
Such fun little baby boots/slippers to make… absolutely straightforward, not even a single increase or decrease! Top portion of boots are worked directly onto sole in rows. Leave cuff open for a cute design or button them up for a tighter fit:)
Crochet: Coat / Jacket
The body of this wonderful little baby jacket is made in one easy piece. This includes the top of the sleeves/shoulders (which naturally creates ‘set in’ sleeves without any complicated shaping or joining), lower ribbing and shawl collar. Lower sleeves and cuffs are then worked directly onto existing stitches of body. No joining!
Crochet: Slippers
The classic ‘TV Slippers’ my grandma made were worked flat, all of the same stitch, and then seamed up the front and the back. This is my updated, improved version! These are made beginning at the toe and working rows in a half circle (no front seam yay!) and are given shape by simple sc and hdc stitches. The slipper is made in one piece and th...
Crochet: Stocking
This cute snowflake stocking cap is made entirely of simple single crochet and in one continuous piece tip through shell edging. The color changes naturally create this simple, really cute little pattern. Both colors are simply carried along throughout. Instructions for making the snowflakes is included.
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
This shawl is made of a combination of Linked Double Crochet (LDC) and simple Mesh Stitch. I love linked stitches because they create a very solid fabric without the usual gaps seen with standard, ‘unlinked’ stitches. Also, you can use a much larger hook for the weight of thread/yarn you’re using - such as is done with this shawl - and it still...
Crochet: Sleeveless Top
This top is made in one piece (including straps and edging), top-down and is seamless. It is shaped at the waist for a wonderful fit.

Size 10 crochet thread is worked double-stranded with a 5 mm hook, which makes ...
Crochet: Cowl
Pattern includes instructions for making the scarf shown (finished measurements 8” wide x 90” long, which can be wrapped twice for a longer scarf or three times for a tighter-to-the-neck scarf) BUT this can be very easily adapted for any yarn type/weight and made to any width and length desired. Specific instructions for adjusting size are incl...
Crochet: Hanging Ornament
This quick and easy little package topper is made in one continuous piece from center of Santa’s face to tip of hat.
Crochet: Slippers
Made up of a combination of Pentagon and Hexagon African Flower motifs. Sizing is determined by the diameter of the Hexagon motif (details included in the pattern). Increase or decrease yarn weight and/or hook size until you get the right size hexagon for the slipper size.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
This hat stretches and contracts like an accordion… creating a perfect fit and a great look! I included a couple pictures showing when I stretch the hat and then what it looks like as soon as I let it go (it just naturally contracts like that). Band is double thickness. Worked from band to crown.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
Entire hat is made in one piece, worked in rounds from crown to bottom edge.

Crochet: Slippers
These little slippers work up incredibly fast, fit great and look adorable!
Crochet: Baby Blanket
This pattern is based on a design originally published in the 1940s as a Carriage Cover. The original design was made using silky thread with a tiny #9 (1.40 mm) steel crochet hook and was made up of more than three times the number of motifs used in this one to produce a blanket of the same size!
Crochet: Fingerless Gloves
A few years ago I came across a vintage pattern for stunning knitted Bracelet Cuff Gloves. I’ve wanted to make a crochet version ever soon. Tah-Da!! These are wonderful because the cuff can be worn flat further back on the arm or pushed forward to create little ‘bracelet’ rings!
Crochet: Slippers
These are a modification of my knit-look slipper boots. When I was testing these and the boots, it’s these little slippers that were all the rage! Once you get the toe started these work up incredibly fast. These are wonderfully stretchy and soft - the stitch gives them a surprising amount of cushion.
Crochet: Slippers
Oh, I wish you could feel these! This stitch gives these airy soft little booties/slippers a wonderful ‘spongy’ feel. I wear a pair of the adult ones and they are soooo comfy!!
Crochet: Slippers
I had three different people try these on when I was working out the sizing and every one RAVED about how comfy they are, and they are! This stitch gives these great slippers a wonderful ‘spongy’ feel.
Crochet: Booties
Oh, I wish you could feel these! This stitch gives these practical, airy soft little booties/slippers a wonderful ‘spongy’ feel. I wear a pair of the adult ones and they are soooo comfy!!
Crochet: Scarf
If you’ve ever wanted to learn Bruges lace, this is a great beginner project. Pattern includes step-by-step pictures along with the instructions. Perfectly ‘do-able’ even for a beginner!
Crochet: Pullover
This is so fun, quick and easy to make! They can be worn in the summertime as cool cover-ups (the teens especially love these over swimsuits or colorful camis) or as a show-through layer in the winter.
Crochet: Scarf
This is a great beginner project for learning Bruges lace. I made this one wider than my ‘Skinny Bruges Lace Scarf’ (pattern sold separately) and used the Patons Lace Sequins (one skein). The little sequins on the yarn give it a beautiful sparkle! Pattern includes step-by-step photos along with instructions.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I saw one of these beautiful little hats at Nordstrom and just had to design a pattern for it! These are so cute, quick and easy to make! This Aunt Lydia’s thread is absolutely beautiful, is super soft and has just the right shine to it - it’s perfect for this project. And, at $3.00 a ball (in my neck of the woods), it’s even prettier!
Crochet: Decorative - Other
Oh, the picture does not do this beautiful tree justice! This tree is made by first making a (very quick and easy) shell that fits snug over the Styrofoam cone and makes the tree hold its shape nicely. The Styrofoam cone is a standard size available at most craft stores, but you could also shape some cardboard into a cone and it would work just...
Crochet: Gloves
These gloves are made using a simple stitch that creates the look of little knitted cables. They’re made of sock yarn which gives them just the right amount of stretch and makes them especially fun to make - sock yarn is available in so many solid and variegated colors to choose from! Each glove is made of two pieces (back and palm side of han...
Crochet: Cardigan
This sweater is made up of a combination of full and half daisy motifs and could very easily be adapted into a long sweater coat or duster by simply adding more of the main body motifs. The edge motifs are designed to create the scalloped effect of the collar, cuffs and body edging.
Crochet: Shrug / Bolero
This little wrap-tie is made in three parts - all joined as you work! Pattern includes very clear, step-by-step explanations and illustrations for completing the Lovers/Solomon’s Knot stitch.
