The Peyton Scarf

I'm so excited for this pattern to be my first pattern release in almost 3 years! Welcome to the Peyton Scarf. Not only is this pattern (FREE here on my blog) my first in a long time, but I'm so excited for it to be a part of the 2020 Christmas in July Make Along with Underground Crafter. Each day in the month of July a fellow maker will be posting a free knitting, crochet, or sewing project for all of us to get a head start on our holiday making for this year! This week's theme is gifts for women and this scarf is just perfect for your bestie in your life.


Now for my pattern! :)

I'm a sucker for variegated yarns. Always have been--I just love the colors of them. Especially when I ran across Red Heart Boutique's Unforgettable Yarn in Dragonfly. I had to grab it immediately and then I started creating something. This one scarf I have been working on and off for almost two months, and after all that I just love the way it turned out. The colors look beautiful in this pattern and are so eye catching, the colors is what inspired the name of this, Daydreaming at Night.  The colors look so whimsical, but have a deeper tone to them which made me think of night.

slightly slouchy beanie: FREE PATTERN

If you decided to make a purchase, I will then make a small profit, at no extra cost to you.  Any yarn mentioned was bought with my own money and Lion Brand did not sponsor this post--I just genuinely love their yarn!

I once made a slouchy beanie, and just never liked the way it turned out--ever since then I have been on the hunt, and after finding this Lion Brand Tweed yarn in Acadia Tweed, I had the plan that I wanted to make this slightly slouchy beanie.  I say slightly, because after making it and putting it on, I realized the 'slouch' wasn't as slouchy as compared to other beanies, but I liked it.  Again, I am in love with this yarn--it's soft, it's colorful while still be neutral and matches with everything.  I can't wait for it to cool enough so I can wear this--I know I will definitely be using it for my trip to New Orleans next month!

Crochet Bear Newborn Beanie with Bow: FREE Pattern

Again, a pattern that comes from a friend wanting something adorable for her new niece.  I love cute little bears, my husband even gave me one when we were dating long distance, there is just something about them-so cute and cuddly.  So, this is a pattern that is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I knew that I didn't want to do a basic beanie, I wanted to add some texture to it, so that's why I decided to make most of the beanie have the cross stitch, just using the half-double crochet, instead of the double crochet.  The same technique I used in my coffee sleeve pattern.  So, here comes the bear and bow pattern!

I love fall and everything that comes with it and knowing that Christmas season will be here before we know it doesn't hurt either! So, with fall right around the corner I wanted to make a simple cowl that works up quickly with some great Lion Brand Heartland Tweed yarn in the color Mount Ranier-I picked this yarn up on whim during one of my many trips to the craft store. I have loved how this works up and adore the speaks of color in the yarn. I picked out this one in particular because it is mainly grey, and I love the way grey goes with just about anything.

So, with all that being said, I introduce you to the bursts of color crochet cowl!  As I was editing the
pictures, I was trying to think of a name and notice all the little bursts of colors in it, and so it is written.

Scrunched Newborn Beanie: FREE Pattern

I tend to get a lot of custom order from friends, as I am sure a lot of crocheters get.  And, sometimes I have to turn them down because if the time I get and what needs to be done, I just can't do it.  But, this time is different.  I had a friend approach me about, what I am calling, a "scrunched" beanie.  She showed me a picture and I was immediately thought, "pattern idea!"  So, here it is.

New FREE Pattern: Crochet Coffee Sleeve

I've been waiting to try and write my own pattern for some time now, and this week I finally got around to doing it!

For the longest time I have been searching for a coffee sleeve pattern that I could make for some of my travel mugs that are thin and sometimes can be hard to grab because the heat radiates through them--I had bought some, but after making them, they just didn't turn out the way I wanted them to.  So, I decided to make my own pattern to give a nice textured feel to the sleeve--introducing you to the Crochet Coffee Sleeve by CEDdesigns:
