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.

JUNGLE BOLSTER PILLOW PATTERN

Cotton yarn and a plethora of bobbles give this bolster pillow awesome texture and form.

This pattern started as a fun project I winged and turned into a pattern on the blog – funny how that happens! I used scrap cotton yarn I had around, which happened to be some bright and beautiful Re-up yarn from Lion Brand Yarn.

SNOWCAPPED MOUNTAIN BOOKEND PATTERN

Keep your books upright and your door from slamming with an adorable, weighted 3D prism-shaped crocheted mountain.

This little mountain top can stand alone as a piece of art in your home or double as a bookend/doorstop. Easy tapestry techniques will help you make the snowline and keep your crochet neat and tidy. Stuff it with decorative sand or anything heavy you can pad inside.

BEACHCOMBER MINI-BACKPACK PATTERN

Crochet this Sak-inspired backpack for beach days or nights out that holds all your essentials, while looking chic.

Ever wanted a purse from The Sak? Ever thought you could crochet one that was just as beautiful? Well, you can! And all using only single crochet plus a new, very quick, technique for the strap that you’ll love.

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.

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.
