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.
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.

At the end of Day 5’s Christmas Countdown blog post, we asked you which Mitten pattern you would like to see featured and the response was overwhelmingly in favor of our Mittens and Scarf Pattern. Well designed crochet mittens are difficult to come by and we hope you enjoy these.
I wanted to create a pattern that reflected the classic beauty of the tartans I had researched but one that did not involve complex stitches or color changes. When I saw the Moss, Cranberry and Stardust colors of Mary Maxim’s Woodlands yarn, I was instantly inspired and knew those were the colors that I needed to use for the design.
