Men’s Striped Necktie Crochet Pattern
My husband is the most supportive person in my life and I love having him wear my designs, like this Men’s Striped Necktie Crochet Pattern or The Jonathan Beanie and seeing him beam with pride.

Spring Beret Crochet Pattern
One of the first things I’ve wanted to design is a Beret! Some call it a Tam or I’ve even heard it called a Chemo Hat. I’ve always called it a Beret, but maybe because that’s all of my French Canadian education! I wear them all the time. I love the look and the feel (it’s so light-weight I sometimes forget I’m wearing a hat)! One of the biggest issues I had was trying to find a yarn that had the right weight and colors, I wanted something that would match most of my outfits (which consist mainly of blues, pinks and purples!). Comfy Cozy Knits Hand Dyed Yarn! I’ve…

Triceratops Crochet Pattern
The design for Sammy the ‘Ceratops came about when I was trying to decide what to give my son Samuel for his first birthday! For Christmas, my husband and I bought these giant dinosaur stuffed animals for the boys, a Brontosaurus and a Triceratops. I personally love triceratops and think they are super adorable, so I decided to make a smaller one for Samuel. My son Edward, who is just over two years old, of course can’t pronounce Triceratops properly and calls them Ceratops, which I decided was a perfectly good name for this little guy! The construction of this amigurumi is different than other patterns, I’m not a big…
