Mitten Potholder
The perfect hostess gift for the holidays, this mitten potholder works up quick with kitchen cotton and single crochet stitches. The cuff sports textured double crochet popcorn stitches. The two-layered, hand sized potholder not only protects from burns but looks good doing so.
Jolly Snowman
This jolly little snowman would look great perched on your mantel or shelf for Christmas! He is worked almost entirely in single crochet using Lion Brand Wool-Ease. The little red mittems and shaped black boots are worked as part of the arms and legs, which means less sewing when putting him together.
Waves Scarf
Using simple crochet stitches, this scarf pattern features a nice wavy shape. The lace created by the chain stitches make this a nice accent piece for warm weather wear.
Beaded Chokers
4 lovely beaded chokers in one pattern! The heart, flower, picot, and shell chokers sport pretty beads that are strung on the thread and then placed as the choker is crocheted. All chokers tie closed at the back of the neck.
Falling Leaves Potholders
Perfect for a Thanksgiving hostess gift, these potholders are double thick for protecting hands and countertops.
Painted Desert Poncho
Make a colorful retro poncho for Fall! Worked with 3 strands of fingering yarn held together, this poncho gets its "painted" look by changing one strand of color every 2-3 rounds.
Hot Halter Top
Have fun with a hot halter top! The midriff provides tummy coverage. The halter ties at the neck and center back. Make it in cotton to keep you cool on those hot summer days.
Freeform Doily Wrap
This unique wrap provides a new use for those beautiful doilies! You can use purchased doilies or doilies that you've made yourself. Arrange the doilies in a rectangle or U-shape, then crochet them together with matching thread. Finally, a border is crocheted around the doilies with beads and dangles added.
Watermelon Wreath
A cute watermelon wreath that is easy to make and just ripe for summer! Hang it on a door or on the wall. It is made in two pieces that are crocheted together, stuffing as you go. Then add the bow and you're done!
Angel Bear
Made with Bernat Baby Coordinates, this super soft bear sports a halo, wings, and a ruffled dress.
Blue Baby
This adorable baby doll was inspired by a Rushton doll I had as a girl in the 1960's. Made with Bernat's Baby Coordinates, she is snuggly soft and cuddly and just right for that special little girl.
Apache Rose Afghan
Inspired by a wallpaper pattern, this granny afghan features lush colors and a raised flower in the center of each square.
Worked in luscious shades of pink, this unusual granny afghan features off-center squares assembled on the diagonal.
