Crochet: Market bag (slouchy)
Made in one piece, this bag is strong enough to hold a watermelon and big enough to hold five beach towels and everything in between. The problem is, the more you stuff it, the heavier it gets!
Crochet: Necklace
Perfect for a new crocheter, this necklace produces a beautiful accessory with the basic knowledge of three stitches and is super adaptable to any length!
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I love to crochet and I love pieces that don’t look like typical crochet. Multiques uses multiple techniques to achieve a bi-directional look. If these stitches are new to you, it will add to your stitch arsenal. If they are not, I guarantee Multiques will be far from “old hat.”
Knitting: Tote
This square-bottom tote is knit double stranded, in the round from the bottom up, then divided for handles that are grafted together. It holds almost too much!
Crochet: Cowl
This is a great neckwarmer to learn and gain confidence with Tunisian Crochet. The combination of only two stitches gives this piece both vertical and horizontal movement. Choose your favorite color and wear this piece all season!
Knitting: Cowl
This is a great pattern to introduce you to some new techniques: knitting in the round, double decreases, and chart reading. Don’t let these things stop you! You’ll be able to finish this cowl in no time. There is also a stockinette stitch version for those who like to multitask (knit+talk, knit+movie, knit+read).
Knitting: Hats - Other
This is a wonderful project for a beginning knitter that uses simple pattern repetition. Decrease rounds are written out with stitch counts at the end of each round to keep on track. The beginning knitter will also gain proficiency with k2tog.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
This is a great basic fold-up brim beanie that you can finish in an evening. Adding a pom pom on top will use up the rest of the skein! There is a lot of stretch in this design so it will fit a wide range of sizes.
