You could start and finish this chunky knit blanket in a day!

The body of the blanket is a quick knit. Add the baubles for added adorable!

This Baby Blanket pattern was created for one of the caregivers who took such good care of my dad during his final days. I wanted to create something special for the arrival of her first baby.

This Knit Christmas Stocking Pattern uses the broken-rib stitch for a little bit of a pattern and Sirdar Alpine for a soft and lovely faux fur cuff.

This Knitted Blanket Pattern uses the half-linen stitch and is trimmed with a faux fur applied i-cord. Optional instructions to finish this blanket with seed stitch instead of the faux fur applied i-cord are also included.

This Knit Purse Pattern uses the Half-Linen Stitch for the body of the purse. This easy to make handbag is lined and features detachable leather handles for easy washing.

I knit this blanket using flag poles, which measured 32mm (1 1/4) in diameter. The manufacturer recommends a US15, which I found a little too snug.

The Bernat Maker Big is the perfect and economical yarn for this pouf cube pattern. Not only is it available in a variety of lovely colors, but it is also a joy to knit with and holds up well in this pouf.

Lovely blanket knit with the linen stitch and finished with a crochet edge and tassels

This chunky Christmas stocking knits up so quickly and can be spiffied up with pompoms or left without them.

This oh so sweet baby blanket worked up quickly with the clover eyelet stitch and is finished with a clover/trefoil crochet edging that is the icing on the cake…I’m all about a beautiful border.
