I have wanted to make a new “swimming” shark to go along with my collection of shark patterns. I think they turned out really cute and will be fun for boys and girls of all ages. I included a bow for a girly touch and a mustache for the manly sharks in our lives. Of […]
RED HEART YARNS
Free Pattern: Beary Sweet Pouch
Happy February! By this time each year, I am ready for some COLOR in my life (Januarys in Utah get very blah) so Valentine’s Day is a great way to brighten life. Growing up, my mom always had a special Valentine-y gift for each of us at the breakfast table. I always loved seeing the […]
Quick Gifts: Tissue Covers
I really like having handmade things on hand to give as gifts, especially when someone needs a little pick me up. I have found these little crocheted tissue covers are the gift that keeps on giving that hug. Last summer I needed a little something to give a group of ladies and so I used […]
Free Pattern: Snappy Reindeer
This fall I made a wrap for my patriotic throw pillows so they would be more fall and cozy. Now that I am putting out my Christmas decorations I wanted a more festive look for those same pillows. A simple reindeer and nubby texture did the trick! (wait til you see the one for the […]
Free Pattern: Reindeer Squares Pouch
When I designed my “Santa’s Reindeer Scarf” I fell in love with all of the little reindeer. I knew I wanted to make them into little bags and other things. I think the possibilities are endless! They would make cute coasters, pillows (alone or sewn together) and more. If you make something from these little […]
Free Pattern: Snappy Friend Water Bottle Holder
This summer, while on our way to Mount Rushmore, I realized I had left my water bottle at home. I like to have one with a short handle to hang from my truck door. We do have lots of cup holders, but this is close and handy… plus my husband tends to hog the other […]
Free Pattern: Snappy Friend Scarf
I recently designed a hat, shawl and water bottle holder with this simple stitch pattern. I love the look of it and knew I wanted to make a scarf. Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn is my current favorite yarn and it was a great choice for this scarf. I think the “true blue” colorway […]
Free Pattern: Loop-It Lovey
A couple of weeks ago Red Heart sent me two skeins of their Loop-It Yarn. I have to admit, I was intimidated to give it a try. I had seen lots of fun projects popping up made with this finger looping technique and decided to finally give it a try. I started by watching some […]
Free Pattern: Sweater Pillow Wrap
I love things I can change for different seasons. I have cute patriotic pillows and keep thinking I should get some other pillows to trade throughout the year. …But where would I store all of those pillows?! So, I got thinking. What about making a wrap to transform my patriotic pillows to use for other […]
Free Pattern: Happy Chic Pillow
I always wish I had the right words to brighten someone’s day. When I see the “Chic Sheep Yarn” colors they make me happy. I knew I wanted to make a cute little project that could be whipped up in HAPPY COLORS to spread sunshine each time someone sees it. Thanks to Red Heart Yarns […]
