Crochet Memories Blanket (Join As You Go Corner to Corner Squares!)

As makers, we all know the feeling of wanting to show another person that we care by creating something handmade just for them. But, we often begin ambitious projects in lightweight yarn and can get frustrated by our self-imposed deadlines! The Gift Cowl is designed just for this situation, and is a wonderful way to pour our love and well wishe...

Whenever I wear crochet, my fingers are constantly touching the stitches or playing with the edges. There is something about the feel of crochet stitches that is irresistible! The Molly Shawl is a textured, color-blocked triangle shawl that will please any tactile crafter. Add in the optional tassels for ultimate texture luxury!

The Granny Stripe Cardigan (DK) pattern

Omega is the name of a kind, curious, and resourceful character in the Star Wars universe. She is a child and a clone, but her empathy and awareness make her a fierce and lovable personality. The Omega Blanket, with its ‘O’ stitch pattern, is named after her. My own baby loves to stick her fingers through the ‘O’ shaped holes and feel the stitc...

The Belong Wrap pattern

There’s a charming spot a few miles from my house called Sunset Beach – a small strip of white sand that meets the Gulf of Mexico. True to its name, it is the perfect place to watch the sunsets that Florida is known for. On cloudy days, the sunset causes the sky to explode with purple, pink, and aqua. On cloudless days, there is a beautiful fad...

I buy the softest garments and bedding I can find, and cut all the tags out of my clothes before wearing them. If I am walking through a store and there is a plush looking stuffed animal or blanket, I am guaranteed to touch it! In my mind, soft equals cozy. The Cozy Up Blanket is the perfect thing to snuggle under, whether it’s on a couch, rock...

The Granny Stripe Cardigan pattern

In Greek mythology, Calliope is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry. Her voice was said to be ecstatic and harmonious, and she was called the chief of all Muses. She is the inspiration for the Calliope Cowl, a meditative pattern that is specifically designed to make those special variegated skeins of yarn in your stash sing! Ha...

Of all nerd related fandoms, shows and video games with fierce female characters are my favorite. In The Witcher – a book, video game, and tv series – Ciri (short for Cirella) is just 12 years old when her only remaining family member, her grandmother, dies. Ciri’s life is in danger, and she sets off to find Geralt, a rather grouchy witcher she...

We all have days that seem to go off the rails. Perhaps we got out of bed feeling anxious, had a bad night’s rest, or ran into a frustrating situation at work or home. When things around us get complicated, it’s easy to make choices that don’t support our health, happiness, or mindfulness values. But, all it takes to stop the downward spiral is...

When the winter months come, there is nothing like a cowl to keep out the chill, especially when it’s handmade! As makers, we put our warm thoughts into each stitch, and it’s extra special when we get to share that feeling with our loved ones. The Made With Love Cowl is specifically designed to wrap the wearer in good energy and positivity, eve...

As makers, we know that one of the best ways to show another person that we care is to create something handmade just for them. Pouring our love and well wishes for that person into the yarn as we crochet fills our hearts, and wraps them with a virtual hug when they receive the special item we made! The You’re Not Alone Cowl is designed specifi...

The November Sky Beanie pattern

Yarn and Star Wars are two of the great loves in my life. In Star Wars lore, there is is a Sith Lord called Darth Nihilus who has an insatiable hunger. That’s exactly how I feel when it comes to buying single skeins of beautiful yarn! I purchase them, but then have no idea what kind of project to make with limited yardage. The Nihilus Cowl is s...

The Vanya Cowl, made with lace weight yarn, is named after the character Vanya Hargreeves from the superhero show The Umbrella Academy. Vanya is an extremely fragile person, but is the most powerful of all her siblings. This cowl is designed specifically to be light, airy, and add just a touch of pizazz to any summer outfit.

The Tunisian Zen Cowl is designed specifically to promote mindfulness while crafting. The pattern itself is simple, but to stay on track it is necessary to count stitches. The simple act of counting combined with the soothing nature of Tunisian Crochet calms a stressed mind and fosters peacefulness in the body.

The Lake of Nine serves as the main hub for gameplay in the video game God of War (2018). From this lake a player begins nearly every adventure in the game, even accessing different realms! The Lake of Nine Shawl is named after this central area in God of War, and its unique shape is inspired by one of the game’s Runes. Keen eyed makers will no...

My favorite video game of all time is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I have spent more hours playing that game than doing almost anything else (except crochet, of course!) In Skyrim, there is a small town at the top of a mountain that contains a Mage’s college. It’s so cold in this village that if you are not properly bundled up, your health will...

The Cotton Candy Slouch is named after the the fluffy, wispy texture that bulky merino yarn creates. You can make a version of this hat to suit any style, as instructions are provided for fitted, short slouch, and long slouch versions.

One of my favorite things about crochet is the squishy, plush fabric that it can create. That fabric can keep out even the most bitter cold! The Frost Shawl is inspired winter nights, the crunch of snow underfoot, and the grey skies in January. Panels of solid fabric alternate with rows of ribbing for textural interest and extra insulation. No ...

The Pine Forest Cowl is inspired by Christmas trees, but is subtle enough to wear all winter. Filet crochet combines with lightweight yarn for a delicate (and cozy!) declaration of the Season.

Bellatrix’s unique shape is created using crocheted short rows. Short rows are an easy and fabulous way to shape projects! If you have never attempted crocheted short rows before, don’t worry! I’ve provided a photo tutorial at the end of this pattern that will walk you through each step. After a few minutes, you will be zooming through each row.

The Mirage Ponytail Hat/Cowl is named after the Mirage hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has multiple uses! It can be worn cinched up as a hat, or around your neck as a cowl. Mirage is reversible and has enough structure to be worn over your nose and mouth without falling down.

The Falling Ivy Shawl is designed using a DK weight 100% merino wool, to make a squishy, cozy fabric that will keep you warm on chilly evenings! Falling Ivy’s semicircle shape ensures that it will stay put around your neck without the use of shawl pins or frequent adjusting!

The Sanibel Chevron Shawl is worked from the bottom up in turned rows. The shawl has texture on one side only, and can be worn in many different styles - handkerchief style, over the shoulders, or as a shrug!

This wrap is designed using a light fingering weight bamboo yarn, which is perfect for the hot summers in Florida! You can use lace, light fingering, or regular fingering yarns for this pattern and any kind of fiber you like. Bamboo, cotton, or linen will be cooler for summer wear, and acrylic or animal fibers such as wool and alpaca will make ...

This shawl is the perfect crochet pattern to use up that one special big skein of fingering weight yarn that has been languishing in your stash, or use dk or worsted weight yarn to create an extra snuggly version!
