This pattern is a play off of our “Making Tracks Blanket” pattern. This time we will be making our train tracks through fields of wild flowers by using a variegated color for the larger sections and a coordinating solid color for the tracks. You can make more or less repeats to change the size of your blanket. You can use thin yarn or thicker y...

This shawl design is a reminder that you don’t have to use cake yarn from beginning to end. You can separate the colors in a yarn cake and use them how you want! You can use any weight of yarn you want in as many colors as you want. Go wild with color!

I love how flexible square blanket patterns are. You can make more or less repeats to change the size. You can use thin yarn or thicker yarn. Each option changes the look of the blanket, but the pattern stays the same. So easy!

It’s always fun to use your crochet talents for a good cause. I decided to do a craft show with some of my favorite cat themed items and give a portion of the sales to a feral cat rescue. I wanted to design a cat themed shawl for the event. I was pleased that the repeat for the cat stitch was able to be adapted to a triangle shawl pattern.

Sometimes you have a specialty yarn that you love, but you don’t want to make a whole project with it. This pattern was designed to use some shimmering yarn and some fuzzy yarn together to make a really beautiful shawl that has just a touch of glam. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to add a wide collar of fuzzy yarn to the top of the ...

This blanket is made of simple stitches that come together to make a visual impact. The pattern is a repeat of horizontal lines and vertical lines. It is technically a 12-row repeat, but it is really quite simple and not at all hard to remember.

They say that opposites attract. We probably all know a case where that is true. This shawl features two sections that have lines going in opposite directions. It also has opposite colors: one light, one dark. The two sections come together to make a visually appealing design.

We don’t always agree with the people in our lives. We often have “opposing” points of view. I’ve learned that it’s okay to agree to disagree. We can still come together and make life beautiful.

I love the look of cabled stitches. They are so pretty and look so intricate. This pattern features linked hearts that go up the center and large twisted cables on the sides. These hearts and cables are not too hard to do once you get the hang of it!

Valentine’s Day is all about love, right? Love can come in many forms, including love for a parent, a friend, or a complete stranger. This is a great shawl to make as a donation to charity. It reminds us to have an open heart toward others, no matter who they are.

Winter is a time when I am so grateful that I can snuggle up with something warm around my shoulders. This shawl is fairly dense, making it great for colder weather. The textured stitches are easy to do and they create a beautiful ribbed look.

Cold and rainy weather always has me reaching for something warm and comforting to wrap up in. This shawl is fairly dense, making it great for Winter. The textured rows add a gorgeous ridged look that follows the diagonal slant of the shawl.

A one skein gift that works up quick!! Holidays and birthdays sneak up on me all the time. This is a quick and easy pattern to have ready for those unexpected situations. All you need is one skein of Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek Chunky.

A poncho is something easy to throw on over your outfit to keep your arms and torso warm in chilly weather. It can also be used to dress up your outfit for a special event. Caron Crystal Cakes have a beautiful mix of colors and a metallic thread at the core that will help you do that.

Christmas is a time of giving. Whether you need a quick gift for a friend or you want to make something to donate to charity, this pattern will fit the bill! It is called Tea For Two because I used one cake of Caron Tea Cakes to make two hats. (I even had some left over.) The best part is, this hat only takes 45 minutes to make!!

The Call The Midwife Blanket is a very popular pattern. It is so loved because it is easy to do and pleasing to the eye. I have only seen a few other variations of this blanket. I thought it would be cute to have a snowflake version for Winter.

I love all the designs you can make with filet crochet patterns. This is our classic pocket shawl with a snowflake filet border on the sides. It is a fairly easy and effective way to add a wintery touch to a favorite accessory!

I really enjoyed making the Evergreen Blanket last year. I thought it would be fun to make a chevron version of it this year. I love how the peaks and valleys of the chevron pair with the open spaced rows to continue the Midwife square design. It’s what I call a crochet blessing!

This shawl is the third in a series of Fall leaf shawls I did using the climbing leaf pattern. It is technically an asymmetric shawl, but the dimensions end up being more like a regular triangle. With one cake of yarn you get a nice sized shawl that is lightweight and drapy and soooo soft!

There are a lot of pocket shawls out there. Ours is a little bit different. This pattern features a solid center and solid pocket with a lacy leaf pattern on either side. It is perfect for cooler Fall weather. This pattern has a couple more advanced stitches, but is still pretty easy and quick to work up.

Decorating your home for the holidays can be so fun! Add this black cat table runner to your grouping for a unique and spooky base to your table decor.

Make this fun treat bag for your kiddos to go trick-or-treating with year after year or make a fun gift for the Halloween loving person in your life. The open squares in this filet pattern create a cute Jack-O-Lantern face. It gives you a peak inside the bag without risking small things falling out the bottom. If you have the know-how, you coul...

The square neck and alternating sections of double crochet and granny stitch reminds me of the granny merge square blanket. The shape of this blouse is a wide rectangle. The length is a crop length and the sleeves are wide and open. The result is a drapey, loose, boxy blouse. This tutorial will explain how to customize your size rather than giv...

I had no idea when I started this hat how much I would enjoy it and how quick it is! The color combinations just kept popping into my head. I couldn’t stop! This is a tremendous scrap buster! Luckily, each hat only took a couple of hours.

There’s a reason the corner to corner stitch is so popular. It is easy to do and is soooo versatile! This pattern adds a twist to the traditional C2C design. Every other row is done with the bead stitch. It might look complicated, but it adds a fun and unique texture to this classic favorite!

Bruges (brooj) Lace is a technique of crocheting a long tape of short rows and connecting them with chain loops to the subsequent tapes. Traditional bruges lace has a signature rounded corner or “u-turn” at the end of each row. I’m calling this “My Bruges” because my version is still bruges lace, but the ends are 180 degree turns instead of u-t...

The iconic symbol of summer, loved by people of all ages… the ice-cream cone! Many, many of these delicious treats will be passed around this summer. We’ve captured the nostalgia of summer in yarn, just for you!

I have seen this flower design used as a border before. I thought it would make a wonderful shawl or scarf with some solid rows in between. I decided to make my flowers a different color, but you could make it all one color. (See my scarf example.)

I absolutely love hand-dyed yarn! However, it does tend to be more expensive and therefore I usually only buy one skein. That means I need a one-skein project that will show off the beautiful colors of my lovely new yarn. This cowl is named “Summer Breezes” because it was June when I was designing it, but it will work just as well for Fall bree...

This shawl is named for the cool Summer evenings when you want a little extra cover on your arms and shoulders, but it can be used in any season as a decorative accent to your outfit.

The 4th in our crochet filet flowers series! These flowers were patterned after the Johnson’s Blue Geranium. Oddly specific, I know, but I like the way the flowers work with the hummingbirds. I can just see them out in nature together. This lightweight shawl is a perfect accessory for Spring and Summer!

Dogwoods are special in Tennessee because they are early blooming trees that tell us Spring is here and because of their significance to Easter. The lightweight yarn and mesh backdrop helps the beauty of the flowers shine through! A perfect accessory for Easter and all through the summer!

It took me over a year to come up with the right stitch pattern for this scarf. I wanted something that started at a point, carried the angled center throughout and ended at a point. It finally came to me while working on another project and I am so happy with the result. I really love the effect it has: all the ridge lines moving in one direct...

Let’s face it, some yarns just look better knit. I’m not a knitter, so I often use the moss stitch for those yarns. I think it looks similar to knit and allows the colors of the yarn to work in a similar way. I used Willow Yarns Mural for this pattern, though it will work with any size yarn and hook to achieve your desired project.

The colorwork you choose will make all the difference. I hope you have as much fun with this blanket as I did! This blanket is an awesome stashbuster!

The half hexagon makes a good shawl for people who don’t like the long point of a traditional triangle shawl. The wide width and shorter height leaves plenty to wrap around the shoulders. The ridged lines emphasize the hexagon shape and break up the eyelet sections.

I love gradient yarns and this one is very unique! I wanted to come up with a pattern that would let the yarn speak for itself and still have an interesting design. As you complete more rows, the shawl becomes wider. At the same time, as the blue fades to green, the large sections fade to small.

When I find a stitch that is fun and easy to do, I try to see if it will work in a shawl. Shawls are so fun to make. They work well with color changing yarns and make great gifts. This stitch looks like little handheld fans to me.

I grew up in a place where snowflakes were plentiful in the Winter (and Fall, and Spring). This shawl pays homage to those blustery winter storms where there are so many flakes you definitely can’t tell one from another!

Snowflakes are so beautiful and each one unique! This shawl features 6 different snowflakes for you to enjoy! If you live somewhere warm where snowflakes are rare, you will really enjoy this lacy winter accessory. Or layer it on top of a warm and cozy sweater as an elegant accent piece!

I love the look and feel of Caron Latte Cakes. They are incredibly soft and the “mohair” strand adds that extra fuzziness of a really great sweater or cozy blanket. The weight and drape of the yarn works really well with this one piece poncho. Even though the sides are open, it is very warm and snuggly! That extra layer of warmth for a chilly o...

Everyone seems to have a pocket shawl design these days. We think ours is a little bit different! Our solid pocket center keeps hands warm and small items from falling out. The decorative panels on each side feature the Pine Trees stitch. It is lacy and light, but still warm enough to take off the winter chill.

I have the privilege of seeing the Great Smoky Mountains every day. They are so beautiful and so different every day. On a cloudy day they are rich blue at the bottom and smoky white at the top. This yarn reminded me of that. This project can be a neck warmer, ponytail hat, or beanie. I love the mountains and I love how versatile and quick this...

The white trim reminds me of a cellophane wrapper without being too literal. This doily adds just the right touch of elegant festivity to your holiday decorating!

3 in 1 Pattern!!

If you’ve done any of my other pocket shawl patterns, this one is going to rock your world! It looks completely seamless!! I am astounded how the structure of this shawl and the quilted pattern (also known as the alpine stitch) came together in a virtually seamless way that I wasn’t even expecting! It is built almost the same way as my other pa...

It doesn’t really snow that often in Tennessee, but we do get a lot of rain in the winter. It has the same effect on me. I still want to curl up with a book and a cup of coffee. This shawl is perfect for that. The textured stitch on this shawl looks like droplets to me. They are not that difficult to make if you are familiar with front post sti...

Small sections of several different leaf patterns for you to enjoy. The result is a fun, lacy leaf shawl that breaks up the repetition of a single pattern project.

The stitches are easy to remember and fly off the hook. The b...
