The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is here! I’ve been wanting to make something with this stitch for a long time and I’m glad I finally did it! I also knew immediately I would be doing a loose balloon style sleeve. I actually attempted it on my Sunset Bomber but it just didn’t go with the style. I’m sooooo happy that it worked out that way because they look AMAZING on this cardigan.
I’ve been posting sneak peeks of this sweater on TikTok and Instagram. The amount of crocheters that told me they couldn’t wait for this pattern was kind of insane. I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I appreciate the love and support on this design. It’s also a bit nerve wracking because I hope it lives up to the hype. I just want you all to love it as much as I do. Even my husband said this was his favorite sweater of mine and he is my toughest critic when it comes to crochet!! lol.
The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is worked in separate panels from the bottom up and is beginner friendly. Once you get the bead stitch nailed down it’s a breeze to make. You will alternate bead stitch rows and double crochet rows throughout. You can easily make your sweater longer or shorter by adding/taking away rows in multiples of 2 before tying off. Same with the sleeves!

When I went shopping at JOANN for yarn for my new beanie design I didn’t really have a specific color in mind. I did know that I wanted to do something with an ombre look to it. So I knew I would be on a mission for a few different colors from light to dark. When I tell you these 4 colors just called to me from the shelf…they were perfect.
Now, I know..I know.. technically the yarn colors are “rose”. But when I was naming my design I couldn’t stop thinking of cranberry frost. I thought it went so well, especially with how frosty and cold out it is.
This pattern is really fun to make. I use the alternate spike St throughout. It gives it almost a waistcoat stitch look in my opinion! You need to make sure that you join and turn after every round of the main portion of the beanie. Don’t forget!
I can only imagine the different color combos that can be used for this beanie! So many options! I think one with white, light grey, charcoal and then black would be so cute! If you need a little bit of extra help, I got you covered! I have a full video tutorial of The Cranberry Frost Beanie on my YouTube channel!
It’s the perfect time to pick some yarn during the Yarnormous sale with JOANN! Be sure to check it out!
My last pattern of the year is here! The Sunset Bomber is a fun make using bulky yarn with a beautiful outcome! I love when a pattern works up quickly and this one does just that! I wanted more of a jacket look for this design and am super happy how it turned out!
The Sunset Bomber is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. Now, you will be using 2 different sized hooks for this pattern so make sure you switch when you are supposed to! The smaller hook is used in the ribbing and the larger hook is used in the main body of all the panels.
The stitch repeat in this pattern is very simple. Just single crochet, Ch 1, Sk 1! Your single crochets will be worked in the single crochet from the row below and you will always ch 1 and Sk 1 over the Ch from the row below!

I had to do it. I just couldn’t help myself. After making The Luna Cardigan using Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa I KNEW I had to make a blanket. The Forever Winter Throw is here and definitely my coziest blanket pattern! Not only is it the coziest but it’s also the easiest.
Even a beginner can do this project! The entire blanket is worked up in single crochet stitches. You can easily feel your stitches as you go and I even made a video tutorial to help you out!
If you want your Forever Winter Throw to be bigger just add more chains to the starting chain and add more rows until you are happy with the size! I only used 7 skeins for mine.
Be sure to check out some of my other blanket patterns too!
This is a new one for me and I hope you guys like it as much as I do! I’ve never made a hooded cowl before but it has definitely always been something on my “must design” list. I drew some inspo from the classic granny stitch and combined it with some retro looking colors! It’ll keep you super warm and cozy that’s for sure!
This design is worked from the bottom up! For the cowl portion you will work in turned rounds using the granny stripe stitch. Once you reach the hood portion you will work in turned rows. I recommend cutting and joining your yarn for the cowl. When you reach the hood, no need to cut your yarn. Just pick it up the side when you need to switch colors. The trim to the hood is added last. Make sure you thread your drawstring as you go to make it easier on yourself!
I used Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn for my Into The Woods Cowl. They have some really nice color options too! If you purchase the Lion Brand kit you can switch out your color choices! The kit also comes with a complimentary digital download of my pattern!
It’s the most wonderful time of year! Well…almost!! But you can never start preparing too early! I don’t know about you guys but I love having a bit of handmade Christmas in my home. I always wanted to make a garland for my fireplace so I thought The Woodland Christmas Garland would be the perfect project to share with you all!
The Woodland Christmas Garland is a combination of mushrooms, trees, stockings and pompoms! I’ve been seeing mushroom decor all over the place lately so that is kind of what inspired this theme for my garland! I added some really cute woodland animals from JOANN, a cute mushroom snowglobe, some floral picks, and a really cute sign too! Along with that I draped a second garland from JOANN on my mantle with my crochet version for a double garland look!
Making the garland is really simple. You can mix and match any worsted weight yarn colors that you like. I went with the classic red, green, cream, brown and a pop of mustard! You only need small amounts of yarn for each pattern. Be sure to check out my video tutorials linked below if you need some extra help!
I love the look of oversized V-neck button up cardigans. There’s just something about them that I find so appealing! They give me such comforting “grandpa” vibes haha. I knew I had to make one but put my own trendy spin on it. The Carl Cardigan is my cropped and a bit more girly version of this!
The Carl Cardigan is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. When you break it down into each piece tackling this sweater is a breeze. I used the same stitch throughout and have very beginner friendly shaping. I used Feels Like Butta which is one of my favorite soft yarns. It’s very smooth to work with and frogs back easily if you make a mistake!
I know some of us prefer to have our cardigans longer instead of cropped. Good news, it is super easy to make this longer! Just add as many rows as you would like to the back panel (in multiples of 2). Then, when you make the front panels, add the same amount of rows before you start decreasing! Remember, you will need extra yarn!
You might recognize the ribbing technique around this cardigan. I did the cuffs from The Pemberly Pullover the same way! You will be working the trim of the cardigan directly off the sides of the front panel. It might look a little intimidating at first, but when it comes down to it, you are just slip stitching to the panels as you go! If you are new to this technique be sure to check out my video tutorial where I show you exactly how to do it.
Knitters Pride recently sent me a beautiful set of knitting needles to try out- The Self Love Gift Set! I was immediately drawn to the colors of this set. The happy pastel colors made me think of spring and flowers which make me so happy!
The set includes Interchangeable Needle Sizes US 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5 & 11 with matte black connectors. The needles themselves are super smooth and easy to work with. I had no trouble slipping the yarn off as I worked my stitches! Plus, changing out the cables was a breeze too.
I’m back with another seasonal design. This time, I decided to combing my love of crochet, yarn and fall colors to make The Willow Wall Hanging! The Willow Wall Hanging is beginner friendly and honestly just super fun to make. It was a nice break from a long garment project and it really lets your creative side shine! It goes great with my fall/Thanksgiving decor!
I picked a bunch of different yarn from JOANN for this project. Basically I just walked up and down the aisle with a color pallete in mind and grabbed all the yarn colors that went with my vision! I wanted a warm autumn look to mine but you can easily mix it up with whatever colors you want! I also did not follow any rules when it came to picking the fiber type and weight. I used light weight yarn all the way up to Jumbo! Really, anything goes!
Another fun thing with this project was picking out the floral. JOANN has an amazing selection of flowers, stems and picks. I matched up my yarn and flowers as I went. You can easily customize the colors to your liking. You can even leave the pumpkins off. Or maybe even switch them out with every season!
I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial! Be sure to check out the full video tutorial if you need any extra help! Will you be making a Willow Wall Hanging?!
The North Winds Set is here! I’m thinking It’s going to be great for Christmas gifts this year. Beginner friendly and fast to make but also kept my interest throughout with the subtle stitch changes!
The striping on the scarf and beanie are my favorite part. And believe it or not, I had almost no ends to weave in when I was finished! Every time I had a color change for the scarf I cut the yarn, tied a knot and worked my stitches directly over the ends. This worked out amazingly and I’m so glad I did it so I had wayyy less ends to weave when I was done!
Heartland yarn is one of my favorites and It’s what I used for both patterns! The yardage listed below is enough to make at least 1 hat and 1 beanie, including a pom and fringe!
I made a full video tutorial for both patterns as well. You can find the beanie tutorial here and the scarf tutorial here. Be sure to check them out if you need any extra help!
