Can you believe it’s October already? Is the weather getting cold where you are? It’s still pretty mild here. This week I’ve been looking around at slouchy hat designs. I love looking at different stitches and all the textures they create so this post contains a lot of variety for you to choose from. There are lots of beautiful designs…
Here we are at the end of September already! Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving again. So, I thought it was time to release my turkey baby hat pattern. I designed and made this hat for my little one last year for his first thanksgiving family gathering and thought it looked so cute. I’d written the whole pattern…
Last week I did a round-up post of with the many different sweater patterns I’d found. I’d actually found all these cardigans too but since there was so many, I had to split them up into two different posts. So, here they are. A selection of the many gorgeous cardigan patterns I found. All are free patterns. This week, I’ve…
I thought my new spiders would look great on a hat, and since my Halloween spooky spiral hat has been really popular, I thought I’d make a spiral beanie hat. I wanted everyone to be able to wear this hat so I’ve designed it to be unisex and I’ve included instructions for different sizes, from baby through to large adult.…
I’m so excited for Halloween and have been having a lot of fun recently with producing some special new patterns for the occasion. This week I’ve been busy trying to design the perfect no-sew spider and turn it into an easy to follow pattern to share with you. I made some spiders last year by starting out with a squashed…

In addition to it being pretty much Fall, my personal reason for looking at sweaters is that I’ve been wanting to design and make my own for a while, and, since I’ve never made a sweater I…
Here is a little pattern for a simple yet elegant crochet flower. I’ve made this flower, and variations of it, many times. I like to add them to my crochet hats as the perfect finish. If you are looking to make a hat to add this flower to check out my basic any size Beanie Hat pattern or my adult…
Are you excited for Halloween? I love Halloween. It’s so much fun with all the costumes and trick or treating! Last year I wanted to dress up without doing the whole costume thing so I made myself this cute black and orange spiral hat. It worked out great for wearing through October and to Halloween festivities. The hat was very…
Creating the diamond stitch in the round can be a little complicated. So, I thought it would be helpful if I made a video tutorial for you to crochet along with. In this video I make a diamond cuff to demonstrate. I start by chaining 24, but since the diamond stitch is a 4 stitch repeat, you can start by…
I love finding new crochet stitches to try and recently spent a lot of time mastering the diamond stitch. I’d been wanting to try it out for a while, then when I started working on my Linked Hearts Messy Bun pattern, and needing to add some texture, I knew it was time to try it out. I also went on…
