• Tesseract - a free crochet pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Free Pattern – Tesseract

    Blocks of alternating textures twist around this fun to make hat, capped off with a spiral design. Available in 6 sizes, so you can make one for the whole family. The entire hat is made in only half double crochets, for extra squishiness. Varying textures, created by working the stitches in different loops, keep it interesting and fun. Change colors as you go to create your own unique look and to use up scraps!  I designed Tesseract for the 2018 CGOA Chapter Challenge. Chapters around the country are competing to make sets of chemo hats to donate. The solid design and soft feel of this hat make it a great choice…

  • Accidental Beanie pattern

    Free Pattern – Accidental Beanie

    This pattern came about entirely by accident. I was working on a Jacob’s square for the Jake’s blankie CAL by Jessie at Home, but I wasn’t really paying attention. Without realizing it, I had worked the whole first 5 rows without doing any of the increases. When I went to make the Jacob’s ladders, the “square” started curling in, and I found I had accidentally made something that looked remarkably like a hat. A little ribbing on the bottom and it became a fun, chunky beanie! It was a little small, but was easily sized up. The pattern has instructions for premie to adult sizes!
