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.

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

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.

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.

A soft and fuzzy crossbody purse for a night out on the town!
I may have been influenced by our time in Las Vegas, but once I saw this skein of faux fur yarn I knew it was meant to become a purse! This quick pattern will spice up the winter months; this fuzzy purse will hold everything you need and bring a smile to you and those around you. I love the subtle mint green coloring, the way the stitches disappear and how dang soft it is! I offset all of this softness with a matching black and gold zipper and purse strap set from Joann’s.

A lightweight wool beanie that is perfect for the autumn season; chevron shapes represent local mountain ranges and the ribbing keeps it comfy and cozy.
This beanie was inspired by our local mountains, the Twin Sisters. Mountains that I have now climbed and backpacked around numerous times. I love the beauty of where I live, and love to model my makes after natural scenery. That’s why it was a no-brainer to make this mountain beanie after our local Twin Sister mountain range. I am so happy with how it came out!
