    This Thanksgiving, in the wake of the attacks in Paris and other parts of the world, I am particularly grateful for the safety and comfort that I have. Today, a few of my friends and I are posting patterns in honor of / support for France, and this is mine. This easy, somewhat slouchy, hat pattern features a wide band with a French flag detail. Please be sure to check out some of the other patterns too (note – some of these links may not be active right away, but should all be up at some point today): Patriot Square Coaster by American Crochet French Flag Graph on Creative Threads by Leah…

  • Red Eye Square

    Free Pattern – Red Eye square

    This is the last of four 5 inch squares I made as homework for a crochet retreat. It does have more ends to weave in, but it’s still fun to make and goes quickly. You may be surprised to know, those raised blue lines are NOT post stitches. How do they work then? Read on and find out! This pattern is protected by copyright.

  • Merry Go Round blanket square

    Free Pattern – Merry-go-round square

    This is the third of four 5 inch squares I made as homework for a crochet retreat. It’s much easier than it looks, with alternating accent rows on top of a background of dc stitches. The accent rows are worked in the front loop, so they stand up on top of the background, creating an interesting texture. Since the color changes with every row, you can carry the colors as you go, leaving fewer ends to weave in when you’re done! This pattern is protected by copyright.
