Based off my Williston Shawl pattern

A friend was asked to make a few more squares to finish a very old blanket from an elderly friend. There was no pattern, so this is what I came up with.

This is a cozy cap with a hole for your ponytail so that you don’t have to change your hairstyle just because it’s cold outside. It can be made in stripes as shown or in a solid color.

This is really more of a guideline to make a hat like the one pictured. Feel free to adjust as needed to get it just like you want. You can use this tutorial to make a similar hat out of other weights of yarn and other sizes. Remember, this is untested, written from notes from a few years ago.

This is a super customizable stocking cap for newborns. The pattern includes instructions for how to add surface crochet embellishments, but it can be left plain, or you can add other embellishments, flowers, pompoms, tassels, stripes, turn it into a Santa hat, and anything else you can think of!

There are patterns for four bracelets. They are simple to make and very fast! Perfect for scrap yarn and quick gifts.

A friend found a picture of Santa Faces on Pinterest but could not find a pattern anywhere on the internet, so she asked me to come up with one that matched. This is a quick little pattern that can be made in any yarn weight, depending on how large or small you want it. With worsted yarn and an H hook it is a touch over 2 inches. It just uses s...

A garter stitch scarf knit on large needles, so simple it really can hardly be called a pattern. Using only one skein of Homespun, it is a very economical and fast gift. It is stretchy and lightweight, making it perfect to wrap up in this winter!

The Heritage Christmas Stocking is a truly classic stocking that will remind you of an old fashioned Christmas. Double-stranded for strength to hold all of those Christmas goodies, this stocking is sure to be treasured for many years.

This is a pattern for top-down mitts with a gusset and a shell pattern at the wrist. It uses very little yarn and works up extremely fast.

These are generic instructions for a top-down crocheted mitt with a gusset, worked at any gauge, size, etc. This pattern allows for cables, puffs, stripes, colorwork, lace, and more.

The Santiago Sweater is a v-neck cardigan sized for newborn to 3 months.

This is a variation of the Basic Knit Hat with a seed stitch band with a decorative button.

This is a pattern for a basic knit hat with spiral decreases. It is knit in the round from the cuff up.

Some people have chosen to add a loop and button for a closure, and just omit the chains for the ties. Another great idea a lot of people have used is to crochet in an elastic ponytail holder in to the ends to keep it adjustable, but make it much easier than tying it (and probably catch less hair, too).
