The Cade Crossbody Crochet Pattern

I had so much designing The Cade Crossbody. Why? Because it’s part of a collab with my yarn bestie Meghan from Meghanmakesdo! I made the crochet version and she made the knit version! It’s always nice to have options so maybe if you are seeing this but you are a knitter, than be sure to check out her blog!

The Cade Crossbody crochet pattern is actually pretty simple. It’s 2 rectangles sewn together and a long strap added last! You’ll add the strap on with a unique twist to give it the slanted fold over look. To give your bag some shape, you will be tacking/sewing the corners up into a triangle point when you add the strap. Once side is sewn further up than the other. That’s it!

When Meghan showed me the knit stitch she was going to use for her bag, I knew I would have to do some swatching and figure out how to get my crochet version looking similar! I tried a bunch of different stitch combinations. Finally I settled with a combo of Sc, Sl St and surface stitches to give the look you see here! There will be some ends on your rectangle panels. But don’t worry!! Most of them you will crochet right over, so don’t let the ends scare you! Just check out the notes section or watch the video tutorial!

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 Tilda Shrug Crochet Pattern

I was sooooo excited to see that shrug and bolero style sweaters were starting to become popular again! They are one of my favorite styles so I knew I had to design one, which is exactly what I did! I’m so excited to share The Tilda Shrug crochet pattern with you all!

I stepped out of my comfort zone a bit with this one in terms of shaping. You’ll find some short rows around the opening of the shrug as well as increase shaping within the rows of the sleeves! The Tilda Shrug is worked in 2 separate mirrored panels. You will then do a small seam up the back as well as under the arms.

I used wool ease recycled yarn for this project and loved it! This was my first time using it and it worked up so well. The Tilda Shrug crochet pattern is a kit so if you need yarn I recommend checking it out! If you are intimidated with making the Tilda Shrug crochet pattern be sure to check out the video tutorial! Thank you guys so much for subscribing!

The Star-Crossed Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Let’s kick off the new year with a brand new crochet design, The Star-Crossed Cardigan Crochet Pattern! I wanted to start off strong with a cardigan design using Heartland yarn. You might remember my Stony Shore Cardigan and my Kiah Cardigan, both are very popular and well loved and both use Heartland yarn! I knew I needed something to add to the collection of my popular cardigans!

The Star-Crossed Cardigan crochet pattern is very beginner friendly and uses basic shapes. Once you nail the “double crosses spike” stitch you will work this cardigan up easy peasy! It’s basically a combination of all double crochet stitches with the ribbing using single crochet. You will work the panels from the bottom up and sew together.

Did you notice the Star-Crossed Cardigan crochet pattern has pockets?! The best part is that the pocket swatch is your gauge swatch. So feel free to jump ahead in the pattern and make a pocket swatch before starting. You will then use that swatch to measure 4×4″ within. Save it for later when you are required to seam to the inside of your cardigan!

Crochet Hook Size Chart Freebie

When I first started to learn how to crochet, I was constantly looking up hook sizes! I wasn’t sure what letter or number went with what mm size (i’ll admit, I still sometimes have to check haha) and it got so confusing! I made a quick reference freebie guide for you all!

The Arctic Jewel Throw Crochet Pattern

It’s finally time for my last crochet design of the year, The Arctic Jewel Throw! I’m very excited to share this blanket pattern with you guys and I hope you love it just as much as I do!

I was vacuuming my dining room rug one day and instantly got inspired for this project! My rug has different textures where the design is fluffier and sticks out more than the main portion of it. I tried different stitches to achieve a similar look and finally settled on doing a loop stitch. I knew I wanted to do this blanket in Hdc so I ended up altering your typical single crochet loop stitch into a Hdc Loop St. It worked out perfectly after some swatching and I went right into designing what I wanted the blanket to look like.

The Hdc loop St in this blanket takes a tiny bit of practice but I know you can do it! Take a look at my video tutorial where I show you exactly what you need to do! Once you have that stitch down the only other stitches you will be doing are regular Hdc and a small bobble! You do need to know how to change colors at the end of a row, as well as mid row. I show this in my video too!

The best way to make this blanket is to separate your CC (contrasting color- stucco) into multiple balls. That way, you don’t have to cut and join your yarn a million times. You don’t need to worry about doing this until you reach the vertical stripes and diamond portion of the blanket. Once you reach this area you will use 7 separate balls of the brown color. Do not cut and join these, simply work your stitches needed, then drop the color and leave it there for when you need it in the next row, then just pick back up!

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 Pullover Crochet Pattern

You know I wasn’t going to leave you hanging! The Foggy Shores Pullover crochet pattern is here! One of my biggest requests I get when I make a popular cardigan design is to make a pullover version or vice versa. So when I released The Foggy Shores Cardigan a couple weeks ago I already had the pullover ready and waiting!

I did use a different yarn for the pullover version, Lion Brands Basic Stitch Anti-Microbial! It has some really cute colors and was very easy to work with! This is an Anti-Allergen yarn which I thought was pretty cool. It has long-lasting freshness for your projects while preventing odor, bacteria and allergens. You can grab this yarn as part of the kit with Lion Brand! The kit comes with all the yarn you need to make your Foggy Shores Pullover plus a FREE copy of the printable PDF pattern! You can also swap out your yarn colors.

The Foggy Shores Pullover crochet pattern is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. You can easily adjust the length of your pullover by adding or removing rows to the front and back panel. If you made the cardigan than you should already have the easy row repeat memorized! You’ll be using a mix of lemon peel stitch and hdc stitches!

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!
