The Woodlands Blanket Wrap Crochet Pattern

Time to wrap up and get extra cozy in The Woodlands Blanket Wrap crochet pattern! The Woodlands Blanket Wrap, is oversized and easy to make. I wanted to be able to wear a big ol’ blanket wrap around the house but still have my hands available to do things, like crochet! Haha!

This wrap is made in one piece. You’ll start on the bottom of the back side and work in rows up, split the neckline and work the first front side. Then you’ll go back and attach your yarn to the other side to make the second front panel. The pockets can easily be left out if you prefer not to have them. Simply continue with the normal stitch repeat.

You will be using an entire 2 skeins of Pound Of Love yarn from Lion Brand. If you make any adjustments to the wrap (like adding rows) you will need to get a third skein of yarn. I used the color Sugar Cookie for mine but there are soooo many cute colors to chose from. This yarn is also very soft and easy to work with. Even better, you have less ends to weave in because you only use 2 skeins! You can find the kit here, which includes all the yarn and a free copy of the pdf digital download of the pattern.

The Wisteria Sweater Crochet Pattern

I’m so excited to finally release The Wisteria Sweater! I finished this one several weeks ago and am so happy to get it out in the world! You can find the full written pattern below, along with links to the Lion Brand kit, video tutorial and printable PDF!

The front and back panels of The Wisteria Sweater are worked from the bottom up. Then, you will seam the sides and shoulders before attaching and working the sleeves top down. For a longer top, add more rows in multiples of 4 before you begin the underarm shaping. For longer or shorter sleeves, just add or remove more rounds before beginning the cuff! The great part about the sleeves being worked top down is you can try it on and adjust the sleeves before fastening off!

I used Lion Brand Re-spun yarn in the bonus bundle, color “blush”. You can find The Wisteria Sweater as a kit on the Lion Brand website, which comes with all the yarn needed to make your sweater plus a free copy of the ad-free printable PDF! You can also customize your yarn color.

The Stonebridge Set Crochet Pattern

I can’t believe it’s already November and cold enough for my annual Beanie and Mitt set! Last winter I released The Winter Moonlight Set and this year is The Stonebridge Set crochet pattern!

I wanted to do something a little bit different than your typical beanie. I decided to construct it in more of a “bonnet” style and add a tie with little poms on the ends! You’ll start the beanie by creating the ribbing in rows, then crocheting your first row into the sides of the ribbing rows made. You’ll continue the first several rows back and fourth before joining the piece together and crocheting the remaining beanie in joined and turned rounds. Don’t forget the turn! It’s very important to do so within the pattern.

The fingerless mitts uses the same stitches but worked up slightly different. The ribbing is made the same as the beanie but you will immediately join together and worked in turned rounds throughout the entirety of the main body of the mitt. Take note of the thumb hole round! This will be slightly different for the left vs. the right mitt. Other than that, both left and right will be the same!

I used worsted (4) weight yarn for this set. The main color A is Lion Brand Skein Tones in “Ivory or Basic Stitch Anti-pilling in “ecru” (these are the same colors and either one will work) and Color B is Ferris Wheel in “Morning Java”. If you want your fingerless mitts to have the same color stripes, be sure to start on the same color within the ferris wheel skein. You’ll have to pull the yarn out and cut so you can start at the same point! Other than that, no need to worry about rearranging the colors as they stripe on there own! You can find this yarn in the Lion Brand kit along with a free copy of my PDF pattern!

The Foggy Shores Cardigan Crochet Pattern

I had to sneak in one more crochet cardigan using Heartland yarn before the end of the year! The Foggy Shores Cardigan crochet pattern turned out exactly how I wanted. I love the style of my Stony Shore Cardigan and Kiah Cardigan and I think you guys do too! I wanted to keep the style similar but decided I needed something a bit more oversized and cozy! I think The Foggy Shores Cardigan is the perfect addition to my Heartland collection!

The Foggy Shores Cardigan is worked from the bottom up and is easily customizable. It has cozy pockets worked into the front panels. You can easily skip this part if you want if you prefer no pockets! Instead of working the chain length, just continue across the row with your regular stitch repeat.  If you prefer your cardigan longer or shorter just add or remove rows to both the back and front panels until its the length you desire. If you don’t want your cardigan as oversized you can follow a size smaller than you normally would!

The Daisy Day Tote Crochet Pattern

It’s been a long time coming… The Daisy Day Tote is finally here! You might recognize the cute little flowers from my previous pattern The Daisy Day Throw! I always knew I wanted to expand this collection and a large tote is what came next! Maybe there will be a Daisy Day Rug down the road??

The Daisy Day Tote Is made in 2 separate panels from the bottom up. You will also be making 2 straps. Then you will sew together! When you work the main panels of the bag you will be carrying Color A and Color B throughout. For mine, I crocheted directly over the yarn I was carrying to hide it. You will bring it up with you each row. If you aren’t familiar on how to carry yarn along in color work be sure to check out the video tutorial! For Color C, you will not carry it. Simply leave Color C where it is at and when you come back to it in the next row, just pick it up again. Only the center of the flower uses Color C so we don’t need to carry it. Once the center of one is finished just cut Color C and move to the next flower center.

The straps are made using thermal stitch which makes them extra sturdy! Be sure when you sew the straps to the bag that you place them far enough down on the inside of the tote before seaming. This keeps everything nice and secure.

If you plan on purchasing yarn, I recommend checking out the Lion Brand kit! The kit comes with all the yarn you need to make your Daisy Day Tote plus a FREE copy of the printable PDF pattern! You can even customize your yarn colors.

Sunnyside Vest Crochet Pattern

I’ve always wanted to crochet a cute little vest but I wanted to do something a little more unique than just all basic stitches. I knew I wanted to incorporate granny squares or motifs somehow after being inspired by a shower curtain with pretty motifs along the middle that reminded me of sunshine. That’s how we ended up with The Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern!

The Sunnyside Vest is worked in 3 separate panels after you get the motifs worked up. Each size will have a different amount of motifs along the back. Once you make all of your motifs you will join them together before finishing the back panel from the bottom up. The front panels are also worked from the bottom up before being joined at the shoulder and side seam.

I used Cotton Bamboo Linen yarn from Lion Brand which is a Fine (2) weight yarn. This is a newer yarn and has some lovely colors. I used Shale for my Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern. I loved the lightweight feel of this yarn and the fiber combo is perfect for a warm weather garment!

You will notice some of the sizes are combination sizes. This is due to the fact that it is a form fitting garment and the motifs along the back are all the same size. To find your size, just locate your bust size on the chart!

Usually I make a full video tutorial walkthrough for my designs. For this one I was not able to do a tutorial for the entire thing. I did make a video on how to make the motifs, join the motifs, and set up the first row for the back panel. In my opinion this might be the trickiest part for beginners so I wanted to make sure I provided a visual for you guys! After you are all set up it is just Hdc stitches throughout, with some decreasing and shaping! I had a very busy month when designing the Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern and my family was sick with the stomach bug for weeks. I hope you can forgive me for not having a full walkthrough but I am always available to help with pattern questions! Check out the video tutorial here!

The Willow Wanderer Tote Crochet Pattern

I love a good tote bag! I especially love a good tote bag when it uses Rewind yarn. The Willow Wanderer Tote uses Rewind yarn AND one of my favorite stitches!

The Willow Wanderer Tote is worked in 2 matching panels from the bottom up. Once both panels are made you’ll join them down the sides and bottom. The panels are made using the Sedge Stitch! You might recognize this stitch from my Kiah Cardigan and my Winter Moonlight Set! Overall this pattern is pretty beginner friendly. There is one spot where you will need to know how to work a Foundation Single Crochet (Fsc). It’s only a small part totaling 6 Sc in the shaping. If you don’t know how to work a Fsc, don’t worry!! I show you how to do it in my video tutorial, so be sure to check it out.

Once you have the 2 main panels made you have to make the straps! The straps are worked up in the Thermal Stitch. This is a very thick and sturdy stitch. My straps are approximately 26″ long. When you sew them onto the bag you will position it about 1.5″ down from the top of the bag on both sides. This way when you sew it on, it’s attached in a square shape and makes it extra sturdy.

I used Rewind yarn for this bag. This is such a nice yarn in my opinion. It’s super soft and a flat tape shape. There are so many nice colors too! My tote is available as a Lion Brand kit which comes with all the yarn you need to make your tote plus a FREE copy of the digital PDF pattern!

The Polar Puff Coat Crochet Pattern

There is nothing like a warm and cozy coat/cardigan on those chilly days. The Polar Puff Coat is like a giant warm hug and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve been wrapped up in it at home while working and it goes perfectly with a warm cup of tea. 🙂 It has a fun and flirty fit as well as oversized sleeves featuring cute little puffs!

Let’s talk about the yarn I used. Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa is probably one of the softest yarns you will come across. It’s jumbo weight so it works up very quickly and the fleece yarn gives your piece a beautiful sherpa look. I know what you are thinking…that this yarn is hard to use! It really isn’t though and it only takes a bit of practice, I promise. You will want to feel your stitches as you crochet, not try and see them. I use Sc throughout most of this pattern and designed it in a way so you can easily count your rows by using the little puff at the ends as a marker. Once you have the correct St count down for the starting row it should be easy from there on out. Don’t forget, this yarn is very forgiving and hides mistakes well! Count your Sts after your rows to make sure you are on track. Stitch markers are helpful as well.

I love the fit of The Polar Puff Coat. I wanted something very oversized as well as cropped. It has a short rectangular fit to it. If you want your coat to be more fitted, you can follow a size smaller than normal. If you want it even smaller than what is listed, you can remove rows in multiples of 2 on both sides of the front panels. If you want it longer, you can make your foundation row or starting Ch longer by adding Sts in multiples of 2.

Need a little bit of extra help? I have a video tutorial available! Be sure to check it out if you have any questions.

The Winter Moonlight Set

I have to crochet a beanie and mitt/scarf set at least once a year. Making these cute little sets is definitely one of my favorite things to crochet! This year I decided to go with something solid and neutral colored. The Winter Moonlight Set has to be my new fave so far!

I new exactly what stitch I wanted to use for this set from the get go. I’ve only ever worked this stitch in rows so it was fun to design with it in the round and a bit of a challenge to figure out how I wanted to decrease it since technically there is no easy way to do that with this stitch repeat. I think it worked out beautifully though and I’m happy with the result. Both the mittens and the beanie are worked from the bottom up. You will begin with the ribbing before moving onto the main body of the pattern. Once you get past the ribbing you will be working the rounds in turned rounds. SO join with a Sl St, Ch 1 and don’t forget to TURN! Very important to the integrity of the stitch!

I used Lion Brand Color Theory yarn. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should! Lots of pretty colors and the texture is nice and soft. I used the color Moonbeam for mine but there are a bunch to chose from! You can check them out here. The Winter Moonlight Set is available as a kit with Lion Brand as well. You get all the yarn you need plus a free copy of the PDF digital download. Be sure to grab one for the best deal!
