SEA MONSTER CHALK BAG PATTERN

The all in one treat bag – chalk bag- costume! Wear it to the crag, or fill it with candy and wear it trick or treating!

This Halloween has inspired me to make a chalk bag that doubles as a costume AND a treat bag! I decided to use Caron Simply Soft yarn because of its softness and sheen. Plus it comes in perfect colors for little sea monsters!

DOUBLE BRIM CHEVRON BEANIE PATTERN

Chevron stripes, bright colors, soft yarn and a comfy fit make this beanie the best one you’ll make all year!

I used Furls Whims Merino Wool to create a lightweight, but cozy and warm beanie. The pattern is crocheted flat and then seamed up and the chevron motif is incredibly easy – though it looks complex. I loved designing this pattern and am so thankful for the testers I had who perfected it.

SNOWCAPPED MOUNTAIN BOOKEND PATTERN

AMABIE AMIGURUMI PATTERN

This Amabie amigurumi is an ancient Japanese spirit said to cure pandemics such as Covid-19. So crochet more Amabies and spread her healing power around!

This is quite the departure from the usual patterns I design geared toward wearables and the outdoors, but I was just so inspired by a recent 99 Percent Invisible podcast episode, that I had to create my own Amabie.

TWISTED BANDEAU PATTERN

This easy project can be made in a couple of hours and can be embellished as you wish. The double-layer and sewn in pads will keep you covered in all the right places.

BLACK LIVES MATTER TAPESTRY SQUARE PATTERN

This week I dropped everything I was working on and focused on this pattern. I had been spinning my wheels and have been unable to form a thoughtful or coherent response to the recent abhorrent violence toward people of color, but I know how to crochet and I can help others through this craft that gives me so much peace.

SAIL AWAY TANK TOP PATTERN

This comfy and flattering top can be worn in so many ways! Whip up some granny squares and you’re halfway done with this top; it’s so fast and easy.

Cool breezes and that feeling of the sun on your shoulders; we all dream about summer – especially as we live through this unprecedented time of staying indoors. Busy your hands and still your heart with this quick and gratifying make. I have this design in mind since last summer and have loved seeing it in real life.
