Winter Pine Table Runner

During season changes, in certain areas of the world, you can see all of the beautiful pine trees change colors.

I live in NE Ohio and I love to watch as my son’s pine trees change to beautiful colors in each season.

With the Winter Pine Table Runner crochet pattern I want to show off some of the colors of the pine trees I see during the winter seasons.

More information about my Winter Pine Table Runner Crochet Pattern.

I used a filet design to create the pine trees. I added a white border to create a ‘snow like’ affect. I think the white border adds a little something extra to the design.

Inside the crochet pattern there are 5 sizes to choose from to fit any size table. There are 3 panels, showing the different colors of the pine trees. There is also a gauge inside to help you create the perfect size for your table.

Inside the premium crochet pattern you will find picture tutorials to help you see the pine tree repeats; how to add the edging of each panel; how to connect the panels; and how to add the border.

You can find the premium crochet pattern for a small fee at my Ravelry Store

I used 3 colors of KnitPicks 100% Premium Acrylic Yarn. #4 Worsted Weight Yarn. (218 yds / 100 g)

I used Dublin, Avocado, and Green Tea Heather.

You can find these colors and more at KnitPicks.

Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs

The Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs crochet pattern uses a stitch I fell in love with a couple of years ago, the Sedge Stitch.

As a crochet designer I try to incorporate new crochet stitches in my newer designs. But, I recently saw the Sedge Stitch and remembered I used it in a couple of my previous designs. I used the Sedge Stitch in my Messy Bun and Beanie crochet pattern and my Rugged Slopes Cowl crochet pattern.

The Sedge Stitch is an easy stitch to do because all it consists of is a single crochet and 2 double crochet all in the same stitch.

Inside this post you will find a free crochet pattern for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs for 9″ wide by 4″ in height.

You can find the premium crochet patterns for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs, Rugged Slopes Messy Bun and Beanie; and Rugged Slopes Cowl at my Ravelry Store.

Inside the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs premium crochet pattern, there are 5 different sizes to choose from based on the width of your calf and the height you prefer to do.

There are also step-by-step picture tutorials to help you figure out your width and how the other steps you may need to crochet your boot cuffs.

Double Cross Mobius Cowl

The Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet is an oversized mobius cowl that is to be wrapped around your neck twice. There are a couple of reasons I named this the Double Cross Mobius Cowl.

The wrapping around your neck twice is how I came up with the first part of it’s name. The other part of the name I chose comes from the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, but with a different twist.

Because I used a thicker bulky yarn from knitpicks I wanted taller stitches in the cowl. The extended double crochet and the extended double crochet cross stitch helped create those taller stitches.

The extended double crochet and extended double crochet cross stitch is an idea that comes from using the Double Crochet Cross Stitch. If you have never crocheted the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, I recommend trying this first. To help you master all of these stitches, I have added 3 of my Left Handed Video Tutorials demonstrating how to crochet each stitch.

The Double Crochet Cross Stitch left handed video tutorial below demonstrates how to crochet this stitch.

The 2nd left handed video tutorial demonstrates how to crochet the Extended Double Crochet.

The 3rd left hand video tutorial I demonstrate how to crochet the stitch I created, the Extended Double Crochet Cross Stitch.

Check out more about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet pattern, sponsored by #wecrochetofficial #wecrochet WeCrochet below.

Information about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern.

Material I Used:

MC – 270-400 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn
CC – 230-370 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn
US J Crochet Hook or 6 mm
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker

For the double cross mobius cowl I used KnitPicks Brava yarn

This yarn is a thicker bulky yarn, #7. The yarn is 100% acrylic and the yardage per skein is 136 yds or 100 g

I will definitely be using this yarn again because it is so soft and glides through your fingers like butter!

For my Main Color (MC) I used the color Sienna

For my Contrasting Color (CC) or second color I used Brindle

The Double Crochet Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern has step-by-step picture tutorials and helpful left handed Video Tutorials for the 3 different stitches I used in making the cowl.

The crochet pattern also has 3 different sizes to choose from; Small, Medium, and Large. Inside the pattern you will also find out how to customize the cowl to fit your style, size, and colors.

If you are interested in trying to make one for yourself or someone you know, you can purchase a premium copy of my Double Cross Mobius Cowl at my Ravelry Store.

If you would like me to make the Double Crochet Mobius Cowl, I do take Custom Orders. I can crochet you or someone you know, your own Handmade Crocheted Creation is your style, size, and color(s) You can email me at j.o@joscraftyhook.com
