The Heritage Sweater: A Free Crochet Pattern for Girls
The Inspiration I have two sons. My sister has two sons. We live next door to each other. That’s a lot of boys! I normally target my crochet designs for boys, since that is who I have at my disposal for modelling. I love boys, I love playing in the dirt and catching frogs. However, I am also a big fan of pink, lace and all things girly. So when I found out that my sister was expecting a baby girl, I was so exctited to start crocheting for my little niece! The Yarn I reached out to Briggs and Little, a Canadian Woolen Mill, to ask if they wanted…

Quick and Easy BRIMMED Beanie for Men
This pattern has been such a long time coming. I got the yarn last September and fell in love right away, this pattern whipped up so quickly! I made the original Quick and Easy Beanie for Men and knew immediately I wanted to make a Brimmed version! It turned out exactly how I hoped and I think I love it more than the original. Like the original, this pattern comes in four sizes from Toddler to Men’s Large. I didn’t have a chance to have any good photos taken until October and then we moved across the country before I had a chance to finish typing up the pattern. Fast…

Striped Scarf Crochet Pattern for Men
My husband does not often wear scarves, but he loves this Striped Scarf Crochet Pattern for men, thankfully! It makes me so happy when he’ll actually wear something I make for him. I designed it specifically with the Jonathan Beanie in mind. The composition is similar by being composed mainly of half double crochet stitches and two rows of single crochet stitches in a contrasting color. This pattern is super easy to make, it’s a simple construction and a great mindless project to make while binging your favourite show, I’m trying to multi-task and am currently watching one of my favorites, Heartland on Netflix, while I type up this post!…

I love crocheting for my family! I love seeing them wear the pieces I have made them like this Cabled Beanie. I might be a bit biased, but I do think Jonathan looks great in this hat, and the cables make the beanie unique and interesting and the blue is such a nice pop of colour!

The inspiration for this pattern came from my husband.

Jean Skirt Crochet Pattern
As soon as I heard about Lion Brand Jeans Yarn, I knew I wanted to design a Jean Skirt Crochet Pattern to make with it! I love wearing skirts, I wear them all the time. This is actually my second crochet skirt design. The first was the Velvet Skirt that was published as a guest post on the E’Claire Makery Blog! Lion Brand Jeans Yarn is such a beautiful yarn, each color they offer is gorgoeus. I love working with it, it’s by far one of my favorite yarns! The process of designing took me much longer than expected. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and made, (pulled apart), and…
