I bought Yarnspiration’s Caron x Pantone Yarn at my local Michaels Store knowing I had to make a beanie out of it! I loved the presentation, how the yarn is split up by color and wrapped together. I also loved how many color choices there were! And all in combinations that would not have occurred to me. After getting it home, separating it out, and balling it up, it turns out the yarn is incredibly soft and cozy – perfect for a hat. Plus it comes with just enough yarn to make an adult sized beanie with minimal scrap yarn! I have been working on creating less yarn waste lately and this product is helping me meet my goals. I try to use an entire skein down in one go and have back-up and stash-buster projects on hard to keep using my excess yarn. And this yarn comes in the perfect amount for a beanie!
Continue reading “SOUTHWEST WINTER BEANIE PATTERN”A lightweight beanie with bobble hearts on the sides that is worked from the brim up. I created this blue beanie specifically for Lion Brand Yarn’s Hat Not Hate movement and October is anti-bullying month!
This pattern is special because I designed it for Hat Not Hate! Hat Not Hate is a wonderful way to support an amazing anti-bullying campaign and also burn through all of that blue yarn in your stash. Lion Brand launched the anti-bullying campaign in 2018 and it is going strong. They encourage people to make, wear, and post handmade blue hats, adding #HatNotHate when sharing on social platforms, because blue hats are the symbol in the “craftivist” movement to eradicate bullying. Are you ready to get involved? I sure am!

I wanted to create a cowl that had a lot of texture, but was very simple to work up. I chose to create ribbed squares, using double crochet, that I sewed together in an alternating pattern to create this patchwork look. I also love a good fringe and added one to the bottom edge of this cowl.
Continue reading “SQUAMISH COWL PATTERN”A chunky, easy to make beanie with options to finish with a bun opening or a delightful pompom. Which will you choose?
Jewel-toned beanies are so gorgeous! I love the stitch definition that this purple yarn gives to the berry cluster stitches. This hat can be finished as a bun beanie or regular beanie. Both versions are adorable.
