This pattern will create a wine bottle topper for a standard 750 mL wine bottle. Other bottles may work, but the hat may sit on various bottles differently.

Toss Some Love Around

Here’s an upcoming balloon to the CR Skies! It’s currently being built at the factory and will make its debut this year to be piloted by Matt Bousselot.

So many market bags I’ve used are too small for bulkier-but-lighter boxes of food. This bag features a flat bottom section as well as mesh sides and handles long enough to tie together, keeping your items contained.

Have you seen the snowflakes on the Olympic venues? The first time one caught my eye, I thought it was a crochet chart! ❄️ Here’s my interpretation of how they should be crocheted!

On a weekend camping trip, I grabbed some extra yarn and supplies to make up some Jackie Frost Bun Hats. The problem was, this particular weekend was COLD! So, as soon as the 1st hat was done, it went on my head. But my hands were still cold, so I got to work. These are a perfect complement to the Jackie Frost hats!

This snuggly, soft blanket is perfect as a wrap-around blanket and even features wrist and arm straps to keep it in place when the wearer gets up to move around.

In August of 2016, I started seeing these delicious-looking Caron Cakes filling my newsfeed on Facebook. I resisted for about a week, and finally had to get some for myself. For about another week I considered a variety of uses. Self-striping yarn, 80% acrylic/20% wool, recommended to hand wash and dry flat. Sweaters kept coming to mind, but ho...

Loops & Threads Urban, 3.5 oz, 202 yards in each of following colors or colors of choice

Towel toppers have been around for a long time! I made them decades ago, and I remember my grandmother making them long before I ever started making them. I wanted to revive this classic idea and give it a different look. I used a sewing machine to stitch the towel together and to sew on buttons, but you can easily do this by hand.

In December 2016, a messy bun hat started taking Facebook by storm. I had to make one for myself, and found I just had to put my own spin on it. Based on a hat I’d created in 2014, this pattern is stretchy and versatile for buns and high ponytails. But because not everyone wants a hole in their hat, I’ve included a pattern for a complete beanie...

In August or September of 2015 I was asked to make some hats resembling a college mascot, a Peacock. Using the basic Owl Hat pattern by Sarah Zimmerman of Repeat Crafter Me, I added embellishments to create the peacock. In December 2016 I revised the pattern to create an Iowa Hawkeye Hat.

Hot-Air Balloon Coaster or Applique

Snuggle sacks and whimsical blankets have been the rage lately from sharks to mermaid tails. I’ve made several varieties myself, so it’s no surprise it finally dawned on me to make a hot air balloon blanket! The “basket” makes a perfect pocket to keep toes covered (and holds the folded blanket when not in use), and the “envelope” is big enough ...

Here’s more of a concept than an exact pattern for a fun, flowing tank top.

I often have multiple projects going on, and often one project inspires the next. I was working on re-creating a project from my childhood when I saw how the edge fit together, and I was instantly inspired to take the concept into a hat. I know some people struggle with hats that work from the top down with increasing, so this hat eliminates th...

Here’s another take on the Crafty Curl balloon designs!

I have a 2-year-old puppy that loves to steal my kitchen towels and chew them up. However, he doesn’t bother the ones attached to the oven. He’ll steal towels from the counters and towels hanging over the oven door.

Hood Baby Set

After making too many patterns that didn’t end up the size I’d hoped (who likes to do gauge-checks anyway???), I came up with a pattern that can easily be made to fit any size.

Anne’s Plain & Simple Small Bowl Cozy

Basic Striped Infinity Scarf

This is a great pattern to use some leftover yarn. This should fit the Elves that come with the book and/or 11.5-inch fashion dolls (i.e. Barbies).

In April 2014, I was asked if I was good at figuring out a pattern. I hadn’t had much experience, but I was willing to try! I was sent pictures of a multi-colored doily, so I set to work. Here’s my adaptation of the pattern originally made by AL Steinhagen. Pictures of original doily provided by C Flathers.
