This fun cat-ear beanie is worked from the top down and in the round, finished with fun color and texture details! Additional color stripes can be added if desired for a colorful custom look. The length can be adjusted as needed, but this hat style should fit with no slouch in order for the ears to stand up properly.

These heavily textured wool-blend mitts were designed to use up smaller amounts of 2 colors of yarn. With three sizes and both a full mitten and fingerless mitt option, you can stash-bust all day long and have a large pile for gifting or selling!

This slip stitch slightly slouchy hat is a handy way to use a wild multicolored yarn that you might have been struggling with. When paired with a coordinating solid color yarn, the rhythmic pattern works well to break up any awkward pooling and the whole thing comes together like magic, ending with a star motif at the crown! The idea for this h...

These little mushrooms are a great way to use up odds and ends of leftover yarn. I used a small hook to make a small ‘shroom (my samples are 2.5-3” tall), but you could supersize yours if you’d like! Just make sure to use a hook 2-3 sizes smaller than recommended for you yarn, in order to make a tight fabric that won’t leak stuffing.

I named this headband after the Columbia River, because the textured stitch pattern reminds me of choppy waves on windy days. Who doesn’t need an extra ear-warmer to take along on those outdoor adventures?

This trendy hat is worked in the round and uses only a couple of basic stitches, making it a great pattern for an adventurous beginner. The size can be easily customized, but in order for the ears to stand up, the hat must fit as a beanie (not a slouch). The fold-up brim allows for some flexibility in the length and for extra warmth. Make it in...

This versatile drawstring bag was designed one holiday season when I needed a special way to give a small gift. Instructions are given for worsted weight yarn, but any weight yarn can be used and the size can be adjusted to fit the occasion. This would also make a great scrap-buster - it would be adorable in stripes!

I was driving home with my daughter the other night, when a storm started and stopped within 10 minutes, leaving us with an absolutely gorgeous double rainbow, and me with an idea for a thick textured cowl with a single contrast stripe. Once I sat down to play with my yarn, I wrote this pattern which includes instructions for a scarf, a single ...

This striking beanie (or messy bun hat if you prefer) features a textured body with a beautiful flower motif on the crown. Sized from preemie/doll to large adult, this playful hat can be made to suit anyone.

I found myself in a purple mood one day, and this beautiful skein of yarn was hiding in my stash, just waiting for the right design. And so the amethyst mitts were born. The simple textured design is perfect for multi-colored yarns. These mitts work up quickly, making them ideal for gift or sale. The length can be easily adjusted. Make a pair i...

Pattern also includes a little bow, which can be added to any hat. Suggestions are also given for additional sizing adjustments. These character hats w...

Summer’s End Cowl is a fraternal twin to my Harvest Rings Cowl, but using fingering weight yarn and two different stitch patterns. Designed to use a solid and coordinating multicolor yarn, Summer’s End is a great use for partial skeins, leftovers, or that crazy yarn you can’t figure out what to do with. The pattern is endlessly adjustable for b...

This quick little pattern fits the tiny 1oz hand sanitizer bottles, and keeps them hanging upside down for easy dispensing. They take only a small amount of yarn and are fast to whip up, making them perfect for stocking stuffers, back to school time, teacher gifts, and craft fair sales. With a loop to attach a keyring and endless options for cu...

This cowl is formed from two interlinked rings of slightly different lengths. Recommend using a patterned (ombre, variegated, gradient, or other) yarn for one ring and a coordinating solid for the other. Either or both rings can have a mobius twist if desired. The rings can be worked at the same time and the width and length can be varied to ac...

This thrifty pattern was created from a desire to work through my large bin of cotton yarn, and make something easy and functional. These little coasters can use 1, 2, 3, or any number of colors depending on the desired look. There are two fringe construction methods presented, and neither requires weaving in a single end or running a color up ...

This pattern is designed to allow use of stash yarn - one color for the main body of the scarf, and as many colorful scraps as you’d like for the weaving part! Make one to match your favorite top, sports team, or school.

These mitts were created years ago when I was on a trip to the beach. With limited supplies and no real idea of how to write a pattern, I made these up on the fly. I finally found the time to sit down and write out instructions and a chart, and to specify different sizes and a full mitten version. With a textured pattern on the back of the hand...

I’ve been working a lot of overnight shifts recently. Also called graveyard shifts, or third shift. In the wee hours of the morning, my mind will sometimes wander to crafting, and I began to dream of a textured, cozy, interesting but not too complicated cowl. Something that I could work on even when tired, and that I could cuddle up in when exh...

This pattern was created from the need to use my mountain of yarn scraps and my desire to play with colors while making something useful. Two different basic versions are included, and the size is adaptable. Several strap and closure options are provided and beads, charms, or braids can be used for embellishments. Let your imagination run wild!!

Chained is a hat using a double crochet cluster stitch, which results in a beautiful texture that is less complicated than it looks. This pattern comes with multiple options - regular beanie vs messy bun style, 2 different brims, 4 sizes, plus an optional “chain” embellishment down one side.  

A walk in the park is a blanket pattern presented in 3 parts, meant to represent a park with a central pool or flower bed, a stone path, and a final floral border. There are three separate stitch patterns to coincide with the features.

These crocheted mitts were designed to go with my Cascade spikes hat pattern, and are a great use for smaller amounts of yarn. With a ribbed cuff and flash of color at the top, they are a great way to show off team or school spirit!

This easy textured hat uses only a few basic stitches, and can be worn as a folded brim beanie for extra warmth, or as a slouch. Designed as a special request by my daughter, it is stretchy and squishy and cozy and fast to work up. Add a pompom if you wish, for extra flare!!

Cascade is a three color (or more!) hat that is worked in the round. For the majority of the pattern, the unused yarn can be carried up the inside to minimize ends to weave in. This hat is great for using up scraps, and can be customized with school or team colors, or used to make coordinating hats for siblings or friends. There are two differe...

This fun, fruit-or-veggie themed hat is perfect for welcoming a newborn, or to create a seasonal look for an older child or teen! With beginner-friendly cables and a knotted icord top, the pattern is interesting and accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The finished hat is stretchy, and a longer brim can be knitted to provide extra warmt...

This simple crocheted beanie features seamless construction and a contrasting brim. Only a few basic stitches are required, making it an ideal pattern for relatively new crafters. By changing colors and adding different embellishments (not included in pattern), this hat can be readily customized for a variety of festive occasions. Additional bo...

I came up with the pattern for this little bag while at the beach with my children and some yarn left over from other projects - hence the name suggested by my daughter! A drawstring top makes it a secure place for all sorts of treasures. It is great for using up small amounts of yarn, and readily adaptable to different sizes. It works up quick...

Worked with a larger than usual hook and open mesh pattern, this lightweight slouchy hat is perfect for the warm weather seasons. The length is adjustable for just the right amount of slouch, and the continuous spiral construction results in a seamless look. Only a few types of stitches are used, making this a good pattern for a beginner, as we...

This cute little ladybug is a great way to use up smaller quantities of yarn to make either a double sided scrubbie, or a small stuffed creature. Because it is double sided, many of the ends can be stuffed inside rather than woven in - less finishing to do!!

I designed this hat during spring break at Neskowin beach. Slip stitch mosaic knitting allows use of two colors in one row without the difficulty of handling two separate strands of yarn simultaneously. The yarn worked only changes every 2 rows, and the unworked yarn is moved up the inside of the hat without cutting it, which decreases the numb...

Twinkle is a baby hat with a solid crown followed by a band of lace that forms a series of starbursts just before the brim. It uses relatively small amounts of yarn - perfect for busting through those leftover odds and ends! The lace portion is best worked in a soft, lighter worsted weight yarn to prevent it from becoming too stiff.

This little hat works up quickly starting with a granny square, and is perfect for using up worsted weight scraps. Consider combining it with a coordinating afghan for a darling gift set! Pattern is only available in one size, but using a heavier yarn and/or larger hook size should result in a larger hat if desired.

This quick and easy cloth is hand-sized - perfect for cleaning and a great stash buster as well! Worked in the round, it can be completed in one or more colors and is suitable for a beginner level project. An optional loop can be added to allow it to hang within easy reach.
