The twelfth and final pattern in the Building Blocks series, this block is worked from the bottom up. No new stitches come into play here, but this block features the introduction of illusion knitting, using knits and purls in two-row stripes to create an image when the block is viewed at an angle.

The eleventh pattern in the building block series keeps it simple, focusing on advancing overall structural techniques. The square is a log cabin-style, but involves no color changes. The only new technique will be picking up stitches from bind-off rows and garter edges.

The tenth pattern in the Building Blocks series, this block is worked in the round from the center out. The new techniques are wrapped stitches (similar to slipped stitches), (k, yo, k) in 1, and a knit w/ slip (similar to a k2tog).

This square joins four swirls together in a fun pattern with a solid fabric. A great addition to any blanket, and a fun new square for charity or a group comfortghan.

This dimensional sunflower afghan block is great for using up remnants and leftover skeins. It would be a great pillow, applique, or addition to a block blanket!

Got two single skeins that don’t quite match? How about partials? The unique blending of brioche stitch means you can be a color master with ease. This fully reversible pattern only needs 50g each of two worsted weight yarns.

The fourth in the series of 12 blocks, this pattern adds three techniques not covered in January, February, or March:

The third in the series of 12 blocks, this pattern builds on the January and February Blocks with three additional techniques: knit two together, purl two together, and yarn over.

The first in a year-long series of 12 blocks, this pattern uses only 2 stitches, the knit stitch and an increase. It can easily be knit to size, making the gauge flexible. Stripes are optional!

A blanket to stash-bust your partials!

This pattern includes an option for turning it into a moebius. The finished cowl is 36” around and 8” wide when at rest.

A soap dish with bobble feet, a facecloth with curls and bobbles, and a super-scrubby soap sack that uses quadruple crochet!

A seamless, reversible cowl that slips right over your head! The shaping makes it lie beautifully on your neck and shoulders, while the two colors mean that you can stash-bust those single skeins or partials with ease!

Make a great bag for giving or getting candy! It’s a much easier to handle size than a pillowcase, and perfect for anyone 8 and under!

This double trouble bag is so-named for my original variation on the linen stitch which gives the base its strength and sparkle. Worked in 7” dpns, this simple little bag will provide a new challenge for most knitters.

Worked in the round, this pattern is quick and fun, and makes an eye-catching finished product! The modified chevron stitch results in a nifty “wave effect” at both the top and bottom edges of the gloves!

A lovely lily for any Spring bouquet!

This little chickie would be perfect for any child’s Easter basket! Substitute any bulky yarn, or make a smaller one with a thinner yarn and smaller hook.

The yarn is not terribly important here, and neither is your gauge, so long as it’s proportional -- you could end up with a big bulbous blue bag!

This pattern includes a colorwork graph for the “B” pattern and a blank graph so you can make your own! If you buy the pattern and want a different initial, just message me and I’ll make the file for you!
