• Edison Park - A free knitting pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Asymmetrical Knit Scarf – Edison Park

    By request, Edison Park is the knit version of my Norwood Park pattern, and features the same, asymmetrical, V shape. The lightweight fabric and eyelet edges are equally at home running errands in jeans or dressing up for a party. Wrap it for warmth, or for more dramatic flair, wear it draped over your shoulders with the long, tapered ends hanging down at the back.  You can even hang a small charm from the picot at the center! The free pattern includes both written and charted instructions.

  • Groove is in the chart - A free knitting pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Free Pattern – Groove is in the Chart – Harmony Blanket Square #45

    Groove is in the Chart is pattern #45 in the 2018 Harmony Blanket Knit Along. The ridges and valleys in this square look like textured stripes from the top, but when viewed at an angle, a hidden image appears! This remarkably easy technique is called illusion knitting or shadow knitting and uses just the basic knit and purl stitches.  The pattern includes both written and charted versions of the instructions.

  • Mod Stripes Towel - a free crochet pattern on Stitches n Scraps

    Free Pattern – Mod Stripes Towel

    Funky, fun, and festive, everything about this towel is just a little bit off kilter. The uneven stripes have raised edges that flow in one direction, and the textured wattle stitch is an asymmetrical variation of the V stitch. You can even change the look entirely depending on how you fold it. Show off the bold striping pattern, or fold it in thirds lengthwise and it becomes solid red with a thin decorative border! With so many options to fit any decor, the Mod Stripes Towel makes a unique gift that can be used all year.

    Autumn is in the air! The Autumn Air cowl, with its blocks of fall colors, will take you through the season in style. This entrelac technique is a great introduction to the basics of Tunisian crochet, because it's worked one small square at a time. I am releasing this design in sections, as a crochet along. Please see the main Autumn Air Cowl Crochet Along post for information on how to participate. This pattern post will be updated with new sections as they are released.
