Since my youngest son was little I have made special Christmas hats for him each year. Now that I have two grand kids they need special hats too so last year I made “Santa’s Stocking Cap” for my grandson Leland. Isn’t he cute in his hat? The reindeer applique turned out so cute that I […]
RED HEART YARNS
Free Pattern: Hopscotch Cowl
It is nice when the weather is cool enough to add a scarf for a pop of color. This cowl actually came about because I have been working on a new poncho that has a cowl at the top. I am working on a longer version now because I really like how this turned out. […]
Crochet Pattern: Frank Beanie
I wanted to send my grandson something fun for Halloween. He is 4 1/2 and I knew he would love a frankenstein beanie. I designed one my very first year, but I wanted even bigger hair for this one. I love how it turned out and was super tickled to get this picture of him […]

Free Pattern: Frankenstein Hood
Frankenstein day is coming so what a perfect time to whip up a hood to keep your little monster warm in a fun way. A few years ago I was asked to design this project for Red Heart Yarns. I chose to make mine with their Reflective yarn in neon gray and charcoal. It could […]

Free Pattern: Hello Pam Beanie
One of my favorite parts about crochet or hobbies in general is the people we get to meet and friendships we create. I have been blessed (yep, definitely a miracle in my life) to have extraordinary people come into my life because of crochet. Some have a bigger impact than others. A couple of years […]
Free Pattern: Patriotic Eagle Pillow and Bag
It’s always a good time to show off our patriotic spirit, but summer is a must. While creating this little eagle, I couldn’t decide if I wanted her to be a mail tote to hang by my door or a pillow for my bench. She makes me smile and I hope you will enjoy her […]
Free Pattern: Heavy Duty Utility Bag for Dirty Jobs
Something SHOCKING happened. My husband decided he needed a heavy duty mesh bag to keep all of the sewer hose connectors (EW) for our trailer. At the same time, I was making another large plant hanger for my father in law who loved the ones I had given him the year before. These are made […]
