Free Pattern – Little Nubby Scrubbie
This textured scrubber is great for washing dishes, without scratching delicate finishes. Made with machine washable cotton, these should last a lot longer than store bought sponges. The optional top flap makes a little pocket that you can slip your fingers into. This pattern works up quickly, so you can make a whole set in no time. Be sure to make some extras for gifts too!

Free Pattern – Starry Skies Boot Cuffs
These fun boot cuffs use the same stitch pattern as the Starry Skies cowl / scarf. When made with a sparkly yarn like in the original cowl / scarf pattern, the lace design can be very dressy. In the set shown here, I used a fuzzier, self striping yarn, which gives a more casual and fun look. With ribbing on the bottom and an adjustable button band on the top, these cuffs can fit a wide range of sizes. The stitch pattern works up quickly, and because it is lacy, it uses less yarn while still being quite warm. The whole set shown here was made with only 2 skeins!…

Free Pattern – Rainbow Ripple Wrap Dress
A wrap style front creates a double layer across the chest, giving this dress a little added warmth for chilly spring weather. It also allows the top of the dress to stretch and move – perfect for active toddlers! This pattern works well in one color changing and one solid yarn, or in 2 solid colors. It’s available in sizes 2T, 3T, and 4T, and is pictured here in size 2T. This pattern is protected by copyright.

Free Pattern – Chain of Flowers Headband
Brighten up your wardrobe with this pretty headband! The flower section of the headband is made all in one piece, so there aren’t a lot of ends to sew in. It can also easily be adjusted to any size, and can work in a variety of yarn weights, so is great for adults and children too. Make a bunch for quick gifts or craft fairs!

Free Pattern – Storm Clouds
Diagonal puff stitch gives this 14″ pillow a soft, plush texture, which works well with the heathered tones of the Lion Brand Heartland yarn. When completed, the 3 blocks of color form diagonal striping patterns that are distinctly different on the front and on the back. The construction also makes it easy to take the pillow form out for washing when needed. This pattern is protected by copyright.

Free Pattern – Twilight Reverie
With the Blueberry Hill shawl, we worked lover’s knots in a rectangle. This capelet uses the same basic stitch, but with added shaping. It’s just the right weight to warm bare shoulders on a breezy spring or summer evening, and can be worn with the opening in front, or over one shoulder. It works up quickly with the Red Heart Boutique Infinity and Twilight yarns. These soft, bulky yarns both have a little hint of metallic sparkle in them too. This pattern is protected by copyright.

Lover’s Knots Shawl – Blueberry Hill
You can't possibly be blue wearing (or making) this pretty lover's knots shawl! It's light and airy when draped over bare shoulders and looks great with a shawl pin, or scrunch it up and use it as a scarf. The lacy, open, design works up quickly and uses very little yarn for such a big piece.

Free Pattern – Pacific Sunset Mitts
I got a skein of Lion Brand Landscapes yarn in a goodie bag at the Knit and Crochet Show last year. It’s a soft and silky, worsted weight, acrylic yarn. It’s just a little bit fuzzy, so it has a nice, soft “halo” to it when it’s worked up.The lovely yarn does all the work in this basic fingerless mitts pattern. It works up fast, and is fun and easy to make! 3/2/2016 – Marie Segares of the Underground Crafter has made a podcast version of this pattern! Check it out! This pattern is protected by copyright.

Free Pattern – Daydreamer Cardigan
This is the final piece of a 4 piece set, designed to match my Puffy Pinwheel Hat, Striped Booties and Dreaming of Pinwheels blanket. The Anne Geddes Baby yarn by Red Heart quickly became a favorite of mine through these projects, and I hope I have a chance to work with it again soon. It’s soft and squishy, but strong too, and comes in beautiful, bright colors! This pattern has instructions for sizes 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 12-24 months. The images show the 6-12 month size.
