Elongated and asymmetrical representation of Monstera deliciosa, or Swiss Cheese Plant, in sock yarn; for use as applique, earrings or pendant.

Two colors are combined with two, easily memorized stitch patterns, plus increases and decreases to shape the asymmetrical triangle. A slip stitch border stabilizes the sides and tassels at each corner accent the piece.

Sunset Filigree is a lace-motif cape. Using join-as-you-go construction, the cape builds from a split-neck down to a notched edge. The neckline is finished with a slip-stitch and picot border; the bottom edge is defined with a tidy slip-stitch.

Yarn: Sport Weight - 15 Wraps/Inch (yarn used in pattern is Cotton/Acrylic blend)

Bramble Patch uses a low-profile bobble to create overall texture as the centerpiece of these slip-stitch crochet fingerless mitts. Though fingerless, the thumb is stitched with a form-fitting gusset. The pattern is easily memorized, worked in one piece with only two yarn ends to weave in for each mitt and no other sewing required.

Starting with a single motif worked in-the-round, finish with the Maple Leaf or continue stitching to produce a Star Drawstring Reticule.

Traditional Granny Square plus 3 variations

Slip-stitch simple leaves to make either a drool-catching bib or a collar for a little one.

Stitch two circles of your own pattern choice, then, follow the instructions to assemble the circles. Crochet and attach Head, Legs, and Tail and you will have a Turtle Tawashi.

Fun for cheeky little monkeys needing a wash. Monkey Wash Mitt is crocheted in-the-round. Great way to use up odds and ends of cotton/cotton blend yarns - use your own creativity for color choices! Details are sewn on.

Wedding Guest Capelet came about because I needed a way to dress-up a plain outfit to attend a wedding, and I already had some lovely Woolfolk Luft in my stash. The wave pattern is one on which I have been brooding for years, and finally engineered a pleasing design.

Mini-tin Doll and Friends pattern is knitted mostly in-the-round.

If you are new to Tunisian crochet, these Mitts are a great way to build your crochet skills. If you are experienced in Tunisian Crochet, you should be able to turn out Mitts by the dozen. A basic knowledge of Tunisian Simple Stitch, and Crochet Slip-stitch is assumed.

Undulating Ribbons is a wave pattern variation using slip-stitch rows alternating with waves and color changes.

Cabled Heart Quadrangle is a four-block square with a simple cable pattern. Each successive block is picked up from the previous one. The last block is then seamed to the cast-on edge of the first block.

Little Bird Pouches are wristlets to accompany you and hold a few basics. Though they are felted, the Noro yarns do not felt much, but keep their stitch definition while creating a fluffier nestling companion.

Owlish Bags are so called only because the shape reminded me of owls, though I did not set out to design an owl bag. The sling-bag profile is a comfortable fit and the owlish silhouette rather stylish. Of course, a creative crocheter could certainly add details to make them very owl-like.

The PotBellied Satchel is a felted carry-all to keep on-the-go essentials about your person. Not only is it roomy inside, there are two chubby pockets to keep things at your fingertips, just waiting for you to pluck them up.

Crochet and felt a protective cozy for your favorite little scissors. Pre-felting construction results in an overlapping flap to keep the scissors securely inside when not in use. The case requires only a partial skein of 100% wool, so you can make several and/or use up bits and pieces.

The Wrist Bubble Pouch is crocheted and felted. Quick to stitch and fun to felt, this is a cute and useful mini tote. Create one for on-the-go stitching supplies, as a gift bag, or a sweet surprise for a little lady. Optional embroidery suggestions are included in pattern.

If you are new to felted crochet or enjoy the thrill of seeing your “larger-than-life”-sized work shrink down to a petite, woolly treasure, these simple, striped pouches may just be the thing for your next project.

Knit, then felted version of Animal Comfort Dolls. Tubby and Soft!

Little Kiddles are softies, small enough to keep you company anywhere. They have floppy arms and legs, and chubby, squishy bellies.
