Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern

Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern

The Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern uses a thicker yarn, 6 ply bulky yarn to create a nice thick, heavy cowl to keep you warm during those chilly times of year.  It uses a stitch I designed just for this cowl, the triple crochet box stitch.  The stitch I designed creates a nice long stitch to create a beautiful texture.

Below you will find a free version of the Boxy Bulky Cowl Crochet Pattern.

Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern

Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern

Today I want to share with you the Pet Bandana Free Crochet Pattern.  Doesn’t my Maze look beautiful wearing her bandana?

Pets can seem like our babies and part of the family.  You add accessories to your outfits and your family’s outfits, so why not accessorize your pet as well with the Pet Bandana.  Use your scrap yarn and make these in every color of the rainbow.  The pet bandana free crochet pattern has 3 sizes you can choose from.

 

My beautiful kitty, Maze was a rescue.  My son worked in a factory that used heavy machines and equipment.  My son knew how much I loved animals, so he called me upset telling me what happened and asked me to take her in because she was starving.

My hubby wasn’t too happy with me at the time, As soon as he seen my son holding her his heart melted and he fell in love with her!  Maze is more his cat than mine, but she is loved and appreciated just the same.

My Maze, and I am sure your pet too, brings me so much comfort and joy.  She curls up in my lap and as soon as I touch her, my heart just melts.  I pray your pets sooth you as they burrow into your hearts as well.

Freyja Nordic Necklace

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern is one of those crochet patterns that you can customize from what it was originally designed for.  A little farther below you will see it how my testers customized theirs using thinner yarn for a person’s necklace; or used for a Hat Band; or used for a Wrist Band; or used for a Cat & Dog Necklace using both DK Weight and Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn.

So, why not even try different thicknesses of yarn to make yourself one!  You will find a free crochet pattern of the Freyja Nordic Necklace below.

 

 

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern came to be because my son loves anything to do with Norse History.  That is why he named his dog Freyja.  Ever since she was a puppy I loved to dress her up.  My son even started asking me to make things for Freyja lol.  So I decided to design something that relates to Nordic History and Freyja’s name.  This is how I came up with this design.

Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern

Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern

 

 

Are you looking to add a little luxury to your wardrobe?  Well, using the Welsh Poncho Free Crochet Pattern will help you achieve just that!

The Welsh Poncho Crochet Pattern uses a crochet stitch that I fell in love with last year, the Triad Stitch.  The Triad Stitch is just like a Puff Stitch, only it is done over 3 stitches.

The Triad Stitch has one meaning that I fell in love with, this is where I came up with it’s name Welsh.  Triad means a Welsh form of literary composition with an arrangement of subjects or statements in groups of three.

If you think about a crochet pattern it is made up of 3 things:

  • using crochet stitches to create the design
  • a composition of writing the crochet pattern
  • taking pictures to showcase the design

I first used the Triad Stitch in my Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern (see info below)  In the designing of the Welsh Braided Cowl I using another meaning of Triad, the braiding of three things together, this is where the Braided part of the design came in.  You can find out more about this below.

This kind of sounds like an English lesson, doesn’t it?!  lol

Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern

 

 

My Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern designed for a special purpose.  Ashley of Through the Loop Yarn Craft showcased me and this design in here Designer Spotlight in part with WeCrochet.

My Welsh Braided Cowl was excepted by WeCrochet and it became my very first published crochet pattern as part of their Independant Designer Partnership!  to sell on their platform.  This was a HUGE step forward for me as a crochet designer!  Needless to say I was and still am Over the Moon about this crochet pattern!  You can find my Welsh Braided Cowl Crochet Pattern here.

Suzy’s Cloths

Suzy’s Cloths – Washcloth and Burp Cloth

The Suzy’s Cloths are the perfect crochet pattern to make and gift to new mother’s at a Baby Shower.

This post contains affiliate links

New mother’s may not realize how much babies get sick during burping or after.  Also, they might not think about putting a cloth or towel on their shoulder or under they baby’s face while burping them.

I don’t know HOW many times I did not do this myself!   It is a great idea to do this, because not only will the parent have to change the baby, but they will have to change themselves.  lol
