The spiral has been one of my favorite motifs since long before I understood how to form one in crochet. And what better to wash dishes with than something that makes you smile just to look at it? I hope this dishcloth brings a lightness of heart to your dishwashing the way it does to mine. :)

Crochet Pattern--Between the Lines Scarf

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:50:42 -0500

$2.50
I absolutely love the technique of crocheting between the stitches in a prior row rather than into them; it makes a fabric that is just a little bit different and thus just a little unexpected. I’ve been playing with this idea in various forms since I first ran across it, and this scarf is the result. Enjoy!

This is a *crochet pattern* in .pdf format (and U.S. notation) for making one of the scarves pictured. You’ll also need approximately 8 ounces of Lion Brand Homespun in your choice of colors and a size K (6.50 mm) crochet hook, or your choice of alternate yarn and appropriate hook (this may affect total yarn needed), and a tapestry needle for weaving ends. The finished scarf varies in size depending on your choice of materials and pattern variant.

This pattern uses Foundation Double Crochet. Instructions for this stitch are included in the pattern.

Love granny squares but find them exhausting? Adore a log cabin but feel like they work up too slowly?

This pattern is for you.

This combination of the two classics works up quickly, looks sharp, and pays homage to the granny without being square. It's also lovely to snuggle up under after a long day out.

This is a *crochet pattern* in .pdf format (and U.S. notation) for making one of the blankets pictured. You’ll also need around 2000 yards of a soft worsted weight yarn, a size H (5.00 mm) crochet hook (or yarn and appropriate hook of choice), a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends, and a safety pin or scrap of yarn for marking the right side of your work. The finished blanket is approximately 48 by 60 inches (122 by 152 cm).

Crochet Pattern--Take-Tac-Go

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:43:23 -0500

$3.50
Crochet your own tic-tac-toe game! Perfect for keeping kids occupied on long summer days. (If you're lucky, it might even buy you a little time to crochet in peace. :D) The storage pouch for the game pieces is built into the gameboard, so it's easy to take along in the car or on picnics. Can be made of any yarn, though I'd recommend a sturdy acrylic for its strength and washability.

Materials needed: Worsted weight yarn of your choice, in two or more colors. You’ll need approximately 3 ounces of the main/motif color and an ounce of your contrast color. For the Xs and Os, size H (5.0 mm) hook. For gameboard/carry pouch, size I (5.5 mm) hook. One button 1 to 1.25 inches (2.5 to 3.2 cm) in diameter, and appropriate thread and needle for sewing it on. Tapestry needle for weaving ends.

I class this pattern as "easy," though it does involve a variety of techniques and basic stitches. I also think it's a lot of fun, but I may be biased. ;)

Sale of finished items is permitted.
