Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth
This is a surprisingly simple pattern for a quick washcloth. A good chance to practice front post crochet.
Knitting: Vest
This vest looks complicated but guess what? It’s Tonally not! (Love a good pun.) If you can knit, purl, knit 2 together, slip slip knit, and yarn over you are good to go! Sock knitters are already there!
Knitting: Scarf
By working with 2 strands of yarn held together, you can create this super soft, super warm scarf in a weekend or less. All knit and purl stitches so this is great for beginners. This classic keyhole scarf will keep you nice and toasty warm through the winter months. This color scheme will work with any color winter coat.
Knitting: Poncho
This is a comforting, warm poncho for chilly days and nights. Tonal has a wonderful warmth to it but still has lovely drape and softness. It’s like wearing a warm hug!
Knitting: Poncho
This is a generously sized poncho with easy lace elements to keep it light and breezy yet warm enough for a walk on the beach. Best of all there is almost no purling and absolutely no seaming, making it a quick knit!
Knitting: Coat / Jacket
The Scallop Swing Jacket is part of the Pacific Shells Collection. It is pictured with a black t-shirt but pairs equally well with the Silver Shell.
Knitting: Sleeveless Top
The Silver Shell was designed as part of the Pacific Shells collection. It works very well under the Angel Wing Shawlette and the Scallop Swing Jacket.
Knitting: Scarf
The Angel Wing Shawlette is part of the Pacific Shells Collection of patterns. It uses a combination of knit and purl stitches to make a delicate textured wrap with wonderful drape.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
Have you noticed that most newborn baby photos show the beautiful new arrival swaddled in the same old hospital issued blanket? Here is a quick and fun alternative to pack in the expectant Mom’s hospital suitcase. You can customize the colors to match the nursery.
Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth
If you just made my Duckie Hand Puppet/Bath Mitt, you have enough yarn left over to make all three of these cloths!
Knitting: Puppet
The Duckie Hand Puppet does double duty. It makes a great toy but because it is made with cotton, it can be a bath mitt as well!
Knitting: Animal Toy
This is a great toy for the baby learning to grasp objects. The ring around the bunny is easy for tiny hands to hold. The colors are appealing to babies as well.
Knitting: Shrug / Bolero
This shrug works up quickly on large needles in stockinette stitch. The lacy look occurs when stitches are dropped. A super easy summer knit with a luxurious drape and feel!
Knitting: Poncho
This poncho was inspired by my love of the Pacific Ocean shore. Lion Brand Homespun in Regency and Pearls (2 and 1 skein respectively) recreate the colors and shading of the waves hitting the beach. Homespun works up into a surprisingly warm fabric without being too heavy making this a great piece for a cool day.
Crochet: Animal Toy
Philbert is a fun amigurumi project. He measures about 7 inches from nose to tail. His floppy legs and sewn on eyes make him safe for the smallest of children.
Knitting: Poncho
This poncho was designed to be comfortable to wear on a breezy day. It is long in the front for warmth and style but shorter on the sides so you can actually use your hands! Finished size is 36 inches from neck to bottom point and 40 inches from side to side.
Knitting: Baby Blanket
A light and airy blanket for the days baby just needs a light cover.
Knitting: Softies - Other
Babies love to look at high contrast objects. This toy has a bullseye design on each end for the youngest of babies. Older babies will love the effect created by the spiraling stripes when the toy is rolled.
