Little Bella Flats Pattern UPDATE

I added an update to the Little Bella Flats pattern. I tried the larger sized slipper on my daughter to see how small it was on her and I noticed that the sides are really short. I don't think that this was because her foot was too big for the slipper. So I added one more round. I think this helps. I've made the change on the original post to keep things simple. I still need to update the pictures...

Basket Weave Fingerless Gloves - Pattern

I found a basket weave pattern and thought it was really cool looking. I decided to put it into a glove pattern. I put half fingers in instead of an open top. This is the first pattern I've written with fingers and I hope that my description of where the fingers join is understandable. I looked at other glove patterns to see how the joins were described and I think I've written it okay. I've also...

Wreath of Roses Cowl - Pattern

Along with gloves, I've really gotten into cowls this season. I really dislike turtlenecks, but I love cowls. I will wear one all day long. I especially love smaller or shorter ones that you don't wrap and can be made quick with just one skein of yarn. I came up with this cowl and did it up in one evening while watching T.V. I was playing with stitches I've learned and thought a cluster stitch would...

Little Bella Flats - Pattern

This pattern has been updated. The last round has been added to give more height to the sides.

Materials worsted weight yarn G hook Yarn Needle for weaving in ends Abbreviations ch – chain sc...

Little Owl

I've recently gotten excited about Amigurumi. My daughter has this owl light that she is always wanting to sleep with (she doesn't get to). It's in the shape of an owl and you press the top of its head and the whole thing glows. Anyway, I thought it might be better if she had a stuffed one instead of a hard one that is super bright LED. I found this little guy at Cre8tion Crochet and once again let...

Double Cable Fingerless Gloves Pattern

I've been debating on whether to put this pattern up or not. It is the first thing I've done myself. So far I've found everything I need from free patterns and would like to contribute. I got the idea for these fingerless gloves from a pair I made from the blog TeaBeans. For her original pattern look here. Materials: worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, Brick) G6 - 4 mm Hook Yarn...

Pretty in Pink Toddler Slippers

I started making baby booties for the ten women (seriously) who are having babies in my Bible study and my three year old wanted some as well. It is very easy to find free patterns for adorable baby slippers and even adult slippers, but not so much for toddlers. I tried modifying a baby pattern but I'm not that talented it seems. I couldn't get the length and width to work. I was really close to buying...
