Use your stash, try a slip stitch pattern, learn and apply color theory and enjoy your tv time while knitting this fun baby blanket.

Just like Mom’s, I designed his coat with boys in mind. There are so many cute patterns for girls and I feel boys get left behind. So, I’ve made it a mission to design for boys! This is the first in my new collection called Puppy Dog Tails.

An assigned pooling pattern featuring the specially handpainted Aspen colorway yarn by sassafrass2.etsy.com.

Unlike other assigned pooling patterns, this one applies the concept but with multiple colors!

New assigned pooling ascot pattern just in time for Valentine’s/ Galentine’s Day. If you haven’t tried assigned pooling yet, it is a fun technique where you do a different textured stitch when you come across the maroon “colorburst” in the specially-hand dyed yarn. In this cast, the purple is the main color; the maroon colorburst makes a heart!

Knit from the very soft Pima Soft by Berroco, this pattern calls for 5 different colors (from the center out: 1 skein each for middle square and first band, 2 skeins each for second and third bands, 3 skeins for fourth band).

This is a new pattern designed to use my specially hand painted yarn to create the look of sunrises and sunsets by way of assigned pooling. This is a new knitting technique that uses a yarn that has a consistently dyed area in the skein. By using my yarn and the sun stitch, you get these wonderfully happy suns!

This shawl pattern is written for planned pooling or assigned pooling yarn. Sample is knit in Sassafrass2 Planned Pooling yarn available on Etsy through sassafrass2.etsy.com.

This blanket is written for a stroller, car seat or lap. It is reversible and square-ish which adds to its spunk. The attached icord can be the same color or a contrast. If choosing a contrast, please pick up a skein of that yarn as well.

Do you have a wonderful hand dyed fingering weight yarn that you want to use but don’t want a pattern that has a lot of detail, thus losing your yarn’s characteristics? Maybe you have one of Sassafrass’ yarns and would like to use a pattern that they recommend??

Like the Grayson Wrap, this cowl takes 5 DK yarns made of different fibers. This gives you an added dimension to your textures, which in fact, are reversible. Choose one DK weight yarn or 5 - - this cowl looks great tonal focusing on the textures or colors focusing more on the colors. Its definitely not a hard knit and it is all written out. NO...

This Grayson Wrap is an exercise in stitch textures from both the stitches and the different fibers selected. An additional element was added, that being to use reversible stitches! This was important to me as I don’t think a wrap is finished with the wrong side showing.

I designed this pattern as an exercise in slip stitches. I believe they show off the yarn’s colors making it perfect for Malabrigo Rios. The cowl takes one skein and contains a slip stitch rib, a horizontal slip stitch and a vertical slip stitch.

One of the top 10 finalists in Debbie Bliss’ Baby Blanket Contest, this pattern would make a wonderful heirloom and is perfect for a christening or baptism. The blanket has many different stitches -- perfect for those who get bored with stockinette stitch (or worse yet - - garter stitch!).

This beanie/cloche would be perfect for the holidays, Christmas, winter, parades or new baby pictures!
