DIAMOND SHAG THROW PILLOW PATTERN

Ready to try a faux fur crochet pattern that won’t drive you crazy??? I love the look of shaggy, furry yarn, but have such a hard time seeing the stitches! I came up with a simple way to use this yarn with increased stitch definition and it makes working with it so much easier.

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.

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.

DYLAN DINOSAUR CHALK BAG PATTERN

This Dino is ready to rock! Adorable and easy to crochet- only single crochet needed. Check out the pattern and make your own!

The last in my series of big, bright, beautiful chalk bags, Dylan Dinosaur is ready to get out and play! Use either the Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn or Lion Brand Yarn Color Made Easy Yarn. The primary colors pop on the wall and everyone will wonder where you got it! Work it up on your rest day and go shred!

OCTAVIA OCTOPUS CHALK BAG PATTERN

Make everyone at the crag jealous with your new handmade Octavia chalk bag! I just love how unique and lovely this project came out and I get so many comments at the gym asking where I bought it. Make your own and get out climbing, before the summer’s over!

Octavia is just the start of a series of brightly and beautifully made chalk bags I have coming. She works up quickly with bulky yarn and simple stitches. The legs are incredibly easy and so fun to make! Plus I got to take her outside for a local multi-pitch climb and she did wonderfully!
