Crochet: Scarf
I designed this scarf to teach new Tunisian stitches- two lace stitches, the X stitch, and TC/DC stitch. Gauge is not important, it’s a scarf! I prefer the Tunisian hooks with a cable, and you might not even need one with only 29 stitches to work with. Work with the hook with which you’re most comfortable.
Knitting: Scarf
This scarf is designed as a sampler to practice various stitches. Great for beginners, yet still interesting enough for more advanced knitters.
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
900 yards worsted weight yarn
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Easier than double point needles and only one needle to purchase! A basic sock pattern using the magic loop technique. Pattern includes a separate one page easy description for learning how to do magic loop. This basic pattern offers a variety of sizes from a child’s medium to a men’s large.
Crochet: Market bag (slouchy)
Everyone was knitting a cute market bag from a pattern by Sharon Anhalt at the yarn shop and I thought I could do a crochet version just as easy! Bag measures 8” square bottom with approximately 10” sides. Make it longer or shorter based on how many yards you have.
Crochet: Cowl
Don’t you just hate that gap between the beginning ch 3 and the first stitch? Try the chainless DC instead! Cowl pictured measures 7” wide and 28” around. Make it longer, shorter or wider based on how many yards you have. Repeat is 4+1. Yarn pictured is Wizard by Berroco, 85/25 Superwash extra fine merino/nylon in color #2936. Simple 2 row repe...
Knitting: Ankle Sock
Dread picking up the gusset on your socks? Me too! I had done short row heels before but like the ribbed heel that I think wears longer. This pattern uses the same slip one, knit one ribbing of traditional gusset socks. Try it, you’ll like it!
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
Light and airy crochet lace pattern. Finished blocked size is 20”x60”. Gauge is not important for this pattern, although I did use the entire skein of yarn.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
Slipping 5 stitches for every dragonfly makes this a fast and easy repeat. You’ll soon be knitting rounds without even referring to the pattern. 400 yards of any fingering weight sock yarn will work although something with a “shine” looks best.
