Free Crochet Pattern: Diamonds & Gems Cowl
Diamonds & Gems Cowl Crochet Pattern Last week I shared the crochet pattern for the Diamonds & Gems Fingerless Gloves and Boot Cuffs and today I’d like to share the coordinating Cowl (I’m also working on a hat that I hope to release in a few days). The more I adapt this stitch pattern for […]
Free Crochet Pattern: Fingerless Gloves & Boot Cuffs
Diamonds & Gems Fingerless Gloves and Boot Cuffs Pattern I really enjoyed the stitch pattern in the Diamonds & Gems Stockings, so I decided to investigate other ways I could use this simple but impactful stitch design.

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care…. It’s time to think about hanging those stockings so they’ll get filled on Christmas Eve.

Free Crochet Pattern for Peaks & Valleys Pillow!
I have one more pattern I’d like to share with you that uses the Little Darlings crochet pattern from this past summer, the Peaks & Valleys Pillows. This is a basic chevron pillow but with added cuteness! Of course you can make it without the flowers too! These pillows are so easy & quick to make […]
Free Crochet Pattern for Eve’s Scarf
I love texture and a crochet pattern that showcases it — this scarf hits the mark! The stitches form two distinctly different looks, one side looks like raised rows that resemble knitting and the other like puff clusters. Both are very pleasing to the eye. The yarn I chose for this project has […]
