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…

Messy Bun Beanie Crochet Pattern
I love using names for my designs, especially beautiful names of the people who inspire me, such as The Jonathan Beanie! This messy bun beanie design was a request from a friend of mine, and you guessed it, her name is Jasmin! I love the floret stitch used in this pattern, it’s gorgeous, unique and classy (just like Jasmin!). I love this stitch so much that I’ve used it in a few other patterns as well. One of the wonderful things about this design, that I didn’t even realize until one of my testers pointed it out, is that this beanie is reversible! Not only does the outside of the…

Men’s Beanie Crochet Pattern
For my first blog post, I thought it made sense to publish the first crochet pattern I ever designed. The inspiration for this beanie was my husband, Jonathan. I am a fan of bulky toques, Jonathan however, prefers a fitted beanie. So I not only made him one, I designed one specifically for him! I wanted a pattern that was easy to follow, easy to make and a simple, manly design. Since I have two boys, I couldn’t just make a hat for daddy, I had to make a child’s size as well! This men’s beanie is made in a continuous round worked in half double crochet stitches with single…
