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.

You can purchase the premium copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs to find the right size for you from my Ravelry Store for a small fee. Click the button below to get a copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs.

Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern

You can create your own beautiful blanket using the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern. This is a great scrap busting project!

Thank you for your interest in my Mae’s Flowers Crochet Pattern. This is a project that has been in the works for over 25 years. My gram started making these flowers for an Afghan back in 1994. I inherited the Afghan when she passed away about 20 years ago. It moved from house to house, taken out every once in a while, and I always said I was going to finish it and I have.

I decided I would write out the steps she did and turn it into a crochet pattern. I took the flowers apart to learn the stitches she used, so I could make my own. This pattern is dedicated to Gram. She was a very important part of my life. I hope you enjoy making the Mae’s Flowers too!

The afghan can be made in a solid color or a variety of colors as you like. The flowers use such a small amount of yarn that you can use up ALL of that Scrap Yarn you have laying around!

You can find the premium copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Crochet Pattern for $5 at my Ravelry Store. Inside the PDF copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern there are a lot of extra goodies for Right & Left Handed crocheters.

Materials:

US H Crochet Hook or 5mm

Scissors

Abbreviations/Stitches Used:

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

I have been wanting to design a triangle shawl for a long time, but it always intimidated me. I came across some old pictures of a triangle shawl in my Memories on Facebook. I told myself “self, you have done this before so you can do it now!” One of my friends on Facebook saw my old pictures and told me the shawl would be a perfect Mother’s Day. So I named the shawl after her, Catherine. If you have ANY questions please email me at j.o@joscraftyhook.com.
