Multi-Way 3-Button Scarf

I just love this new scarf I created. You can wear it so many different ways! It's super easy to work up and it's deliciously cozy. It uses a simple vintage stitch to allow for a nice sturdy design that the buttons can pass between. Button it anywhere!

Two New Cowl Patterns

I recently finished up two new cowl patterns made with Lion Brand Yarns. I really like working with this yarn. The first cowl is made with one skein Tweed Stripes Yarn. I love how the colors subtly change. It made a lovely pattern. It's not scratchy either. 100% acrylic. You can find it here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/woodlands-cowl or here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/253145569/woodlands-cowl-crochet-pattern



The next cowl is an infinity scarf made with Hometown USA yarn, 100% acrylic. I love how soft it is and it handles nicely. Both cowls make wonderful snuggly, warm gifts, especially for someone who is allergic to wool. And they work up quickly. Bonus!

The Perfect Basic Beanie

This is the perfect hat for beginners to crochet. It’s very simple, yet produces a nice finished result that you can actually wear or give as a gift. Play with color and band edging once you get the hang of it, or make more rounds for a slouch hat. This basic style also produces great charity hats as well. Feel free to share.

Trinity Prayer Shawl - Free Pattern

I recently completed a prayer shawl pattern, The Trinity Shawl. I wanted to create a warm, triangular wrap with picot edging, crocheted in the treble stitch, and worked with a lovely self-striping yarn. I chose a subtle rainbow pallet for the yarn. I love its muted tones and symbolism.

Captain America Shield Throw - Crochet Pattern

I just finished up a geeky superhero throw pattern for you to make for your couch! Of course my family of nerds loves it, and it'll be joining our other movie themed basement articles for display-slash-leg-warming purposes. I saw other Captain America afghans out there but many of them seem to require sewing the star to the center. That's fine and dandy, but I didn't want to have to do that because I'm a little lazy. So...I set out to make a star-in-circle shield motif without having to sew or piece together anything. If you want, you can stop at the end of the motif and have the perfect sized place mat. Make several. They'd look great on your table. While you're at it, make a gift set of place mats and a throw for your favorite superhero buff. Head on over to Etsy or Ravelry.
