Crochet: Cardigan
This pattern is for a light, flowy cardigan with NO SEWING as it’s made in one piece, from the top down.
Crochet: Cape
This pattern has almost no counting of rows or stitches. Instead, I use easy measurements. This means that gauge is actually unimportant, and the sizing is adjustable. I used just over 2 cakes of Cookie yarn for the sample (colourway Limelight) but it could really work with almost any kind of light to medium weight yarn, since the pattern works...
Crochet: Pullover
This is a flattering tunic designed to fit almost any size. The instructions give exact measurements for size M/L, along with custom sizing instructions. I haven’t tested it on kids’ sizes yet, but I’m very sure it would work just as well for them. No counting stitches, only using measurements.
Crochet: Shrug / Bolero
This oversized, cute wrap is great for all seasons - in a fine yarn for warmer weather, or worsted weight for colder seasons. The pattern gives different instructions for the different yarn weights, so you can make it in almost any yarn.
Crochet: Cape
This design uses a single cake of gradient yarn with a gradual colour shift, and the pattern is suitable for any similar yarn e.g. Cotton Kings Twirls Deluxe, Scheepjes Whirl etc. You may also use a plain colour, or striped/variegated yarn. You can also choose to create your own colour combinations.
Crochet: Shrug / Bolero
This is a light yet cozy cocoon-style wrap cardigan with a generous fit. The cotton fingering yarn creates a gorgeous drape, and works up to be very soft. The pattern is created to show off a gradient yarn to best advantage, but it is perfectly suited to plain yarn. It can also be lovely in broad stripes.
Crochet: Dress
This pattern is very similar to my other design, Abigail Fairy Dress, but aimed more at older children, teens and adults. I used a fingering (fine) weight yarn, held double, but you can use anything up to a DK weight (held single) which gives more structure to the dress/top. In a fine weight held double, you’ll need a total of about 2000m of ya...
Crochet: Poncho
This magical, versatile, cozy cape is worked top-down in one piece, and is written in US TERMS, suitable for intermediate skill levels. Although gauge is provided, you can easily adapt it to any yarn or size using measurements.
