Here’s a totally pointless but very cute item … a quick and easy project.

I designed these baubles for a workshop I taught at the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre in Walton-on-Thames and have now published it as a stand alone pattern as well as an online, access anytime course.

A full bodied, moebius cowl made with the traditional granny stitch.

This shawl was designed for my first Norwegian Crochet Retreat.

I designed this motif for “Granny Square Day 2022 “. This variation of the traditional granny square is easy to memorise and can easily be made larger if desired.

The Loch Maree Mitts are inspired by a hike around Loch Maree in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. Ideal for cooler days when a full pair of gloves or mittens might be too much, these mitts provide a surprising amount of comforting warmth.

The Cùl Mòr Cardigan is a short cardigan with 3/4 length sleeves and a waterfall front that has optional buttons and loops to wear it closed.

I designed this variation of a granny square to make a sweater. It’s a quick and simple three round motif.

The perfect pattern for using up scraps of hand-dyed yarn and also precious mini skeins.

Quick, fun & easy, these hairband covers are a great way to use up & showcase your precious scraps of hand-dyed yarn. Once you’ve made one, you might not be able to stop!

This simple, cotton, mesh bag features a crocheted lucet tie-cord and a hanging loop to help your soap dry out between uses and keep it out of the direct flow of water when used in the shower. It’s also a great way to store and use up small, leftover pieces of soap.

A simple little crocheted mesh tea light cover, made in one piece– starting from the bottom up. Designed to use minimal yarn and repurpose those glass ramekins from ready made puddings such as Gü and Bon Maman.

This handy little crocheted basket design with handles, is a spin off from my “Three Little Bowls” pattern. A quick and simple pattern, this small basket uses three strands of Aran or Worsted weight yarns, held together. You could use three strands of the same colour or three different colours, for a lovely variegated effect. I love using multi...

A simple facecloth in single crochet - made special with a slip stitch surface design in a contrasting colour & finished with a textured, reverse single crochet border. Make it in soft cotton for the perfect, colour coordinated bathroom accessory. I have also made pairs of flannels, in opposite colours, with matching, handmade soap as gifts.

This bag is worked from the bottom up and incorporates a pinwheel motif for added colour and detail. The bag is then felted in a washing machine before the handles are sewn on.

A simple little crocheted purse made in one piece– starting from the bottom up, in a spiral. The flap is then worked flat without breaking off the yarn and includes a button loop.

These mittens are worked in slip stitch crochet to create a dense and warm fabric.

This cute owl is made using Amigurumi crochet techniques. The pattern is written using Aran weight yarn to produce an owl that is about 7” / 18cm tall but you could use any yarn weight with corresponding hook size to make a larger or smaller owl.

I wrote this pattern about 5 years ago when I was teaching a day class for the Surrey Women’s Institute. Since then, I have often used it for 2 hour “taster” classes. Don’t worry – it won’t take you 2 hours to make one of these little bowls! I have made the smaller one in less than 30 minutes.

I designed this motif back in 2014 for an in-person bag making course that I teach at the Riverhousebarn Arts Centre in Walton-on-Thames.

This is a sweet little stockinette stitch shawl with an interesting shape and crochet bind off.
