Hi! My name is Pamela Stark and I am so excited to be part of the Mary Maxim Christmas Countdown. My crochet journey began in 2012 when I was looking for something to do while my son napped.
I had this design playing around in my head for a while and finally decided to make it! I am relaxing with this pattern I crochet looser than most and found out that gauge is very important for patterns! From all my pattern testing I have intertwined different techniques from other designers and new stitches that I have learned or love seeing on a hat!
I have a thing for texture and detail. I love a good pattern that works up quickly but still has SO much detail. If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know which pattern I’m talking about…the Charleigh Brim Beanie!
Plastic Canvas projects are often the first time kids get the opportunity to work with yarn as a crafting material. Today’s featured pattern is a great beginner project and it’s a fantastic craft decorate with as an ornament to your Christmas Tree or to tie around a Christmas Gift.
I designed this adorable Oh, Bobble Tree Ornament for you as a spin-off of my most popular design this season, the Bibbledy Bobbledy Christmas Trees. I wanted to create something that worked up very fast, that could be made as a last-minute gift for teachers and hostesses, and that would be easy to make on repeat while binge-watching Disney+.
Corner technique lent to the Mod Arrow design beautifully. By working in panels, we were able to slightly alter the technique and the texture of the C2C pattern to make the Mod Arrows.
2019 seems to be the year of the Granny! One of our most-watched tutorials on Youtube and Instagram is our Granny Square tutorial that you can find here. Therefore, in today’s Christmas Countdown, we are featuring the Cali-Co Afghan.
Thanks for joining our Second Annual Christmas Countdown. Each day for the month of December we check off a day on our calendar with a free pattern either by Mary Maxim or by a featured maker. Today we are featuring an iconic pattern, the one that Mary Maxim is best known for and easily one of the most customizable patterns in our Collection
On the 10th day of Christmas, E’Claire Makery designed the Candy Cane Crochet Gift Basket for me! Thanks for joining our Second Annual Christmas Countdown. We are very excited about our featured guest today, E’Claire Makery
One of our favorite holiday traditions is baking Christmas Cookies with our family and friends, particularly decorating gingerbread cookies. There are so many possibilities when decorating gingerbread men and gingerbread houses. Add some candy, maybe some sprinkles here and there for a confectionary treasure.
