This pattern was designed for the Carolina Fiber Fest 2024 Craft-A-Long.

The ribbed brim flows into the cable pattern on the body of this hat. Pattern is written and fully charted for one size that easily stretches to fit most heads. There are 2 options in the pattern. In Option A (shown in tweedy red), the cables twist toward each other; in Option B (shown in Blue), cables twist away from each other.

This pattern is knit bottom-up. The only seams are under the arms. Bottom ruffle is worked as you knit. Sleeve and neck ruffles are worked separately, then joined to main fabric by working sts together from ruffle and sleeve or neck. The raglan decreases are worked on WS rows, so familiarity with purl side decreases is essential (p2tog and ssp.)

Ollie is worked all in one piece with no sewing, beginning at the bottom of the head. The head has purl ridges where you will later pick up sts to work the tentacles, neck skirt, and blanket. A link to a video tutorial is included.

A cottony vest is the perfect wardrobe addition for cool summer evenings or dew-y mornings.

The lower vents on each side give the vest a casual flair, yet the vest is dressy enough for ...

The inspiration for this pattern was born of the frustration of pulling tight necklines over toddler heads. The laced up center provides the extra ease needed to fit over the largest of heads, and the casual style is suitable for bigger kids, too. Shown here for a boy, this pattern would be fun for girls, too–pick a contrasting color with a lit...

These cute little plastic egg covers knit up very quickly and are a great stash buster. I used eggs purchased at Hobby Lobby, labeled “Large”, but they are 3” tall and measure 7” around the egg seam. Since these use only 75-80 yards of yarn, check your stash for leftover worsted/medium yarn first - anything that will knit tightly at 6 sts/in (s...

This is a one-skein quick project designed to add a little flair to an outfit. If you need something to wrap around an oversized shirt or add a little bit of bling to a pair of jeans, this is it! By nature, the center garter stitches of this design will stretch, however the outer i-cord edging prevents too much over-stretching. The beauty of a ...

This is a super quick project and great way to use up odds and ends of scrap yarns and any beads or shank-back buttons you may have. They are perfect for little girls (or even little dogs)! Simply put, this is working a 3 or 4 stitch i-cord around a pony tail holder. This is more of a trick or technique than a pattern.

Additional materials: 7” (18 cm) zipper to match yarn.
