Knitting: Scarf
Nice, squishy scarf good for travel and TV knitting. Pattern is easy to adjust to the size you want. Works up in no time!
Knitting: Pet Clothing
The single opening for the legs is so much easier to put on and makes for a nice fit too. Sometimes those little leg holes just aren’t quite in the perfect spot! The allover ribbing is stretchy and gives it a snug look. Add a little flare to the neck and now they are the royalty that they always knew they were!
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Who doesn’t love bow ties?! And on a little one to boot?! I needed a mate to “The Marvelous Maxine” and her ruffles and you’ll get plenty of “aww” with this one for sure.
Knitting: Pet Clothing
We all need a good party dress, right?! Or maybe your baby just wants to feel like looking special lounging around the house. It’s all good! We need to do what makes us happy. A fancy dress is a sure way to perk up your mood and make you feel all pretty!
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Whether you’re out on the town or just chillin’ on the couch, who doesn’t want to look crazy fabulous?! Ain’t nobody going to call your baby basic when they see them strolling by in one of these! I’ve made two versions and you will get both in this download. We obviously want to accommodate the picky dressers, right? This one is the lighter DK ...

Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
This is written for Magic Loop. If you’re accustomed to DPNs, it should be easy enough to adjust. I don’t use DPNs, so you just won’t see a pattern from me using them. At least not for now :)
Knitting: Cowl
Before I tell you about the pattern itself, I’m going to tell you the story it has come to have for me. Many of you who are familiar with my patterns, know that I use AG2N Hand Dyed Yarns for most of my design samples. I’ve worked with the dyer, Kim Hamilton, on many projects. A very talented artist and a friend. Kim recently passed unexpectedl...
Knitting: Pet Clothing
It was time for the hard to fit Bonnie to come out with another design. Since her, and so many others, are such pros at getting their legs tangled up inside their shirt, we’re trying an open chest deal. It’s working out pretty good too! Her sister Maxine with the shorter legs approves as well. Poor girl is no fan of any kind of sleeve! Hopefull...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
How crazy is that I’ve never published a triangular shawl?! I thought a squishy DK one was a good choice for my first one. I’ve never been one of those people to try new things, but when it comes to patterns, I’m all for it! I hope to have a wide variety of stuff one day.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque, Cowl
Nothing too fancy. Just a comfy hat and cowl set for everyday wear, with a little texture so it’s not too boring. Quick and easy knitting you can do anywhere. My favorite kind! 4 hat sizes and 2 cowl sizes. Hopefully, you will find just the size you need.
Knitting: Cowl
I do love a squishy cowl! I also love simple repeats for relaxing knitting. You only need to know how to knit, purl and slip to get this look. Bonus of working with only one yarn per row too. We all know some stitches work up tighter than others and this cowl is quite guilty. So, there will be some alternating needle sizes between the patterns ...
Knitting: Washcloth / Dishcloth
Dishcloths are the first thing I started knitting. I bet many other people started with dishcloths too. I still love them. Wouldn’t dream of using anything else! It occurred to me recently that I had never shared the pattern I always make for myself. I really do make the same ones over, and over, lol. Certainly nothing special about mine, but t...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This was so much fun to design! I probably got too carried away with this one, but oh well. I wanted to make a design for 3 colors. But maybe there should be a version that would work with only 2 colors, right? Well what about the people who like the one skein shawls? Do you see what happens to me? So, here we are… Anyway, with there being 3 di...

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
If you have 50 grams/200 yards that would look great with a full skein you have on hand, you’re ready to go! I love it when I can use those little half skeins that I enjoy buying or use up some of the leftovers from previous projects. Plus, I think this makes a really nice sized shawl. Not too big or too small. I used right at 400 yards for Col...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
We all love a one skein pattern. Especially one that doesn’t need blocking! This one has lace all the way up one side and then a loopy bind off that just gives it a little something extra. It’s not terribly difficult, but does take a little longer than a regular bind off. I’ve included an alternate bind off if you’re just not interested though....
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I have been wanting to design a shawl with a ruffle for quite some time, so here it is! Great for 2 colors that you want to make sure they both get noticed. You’ll need 2 skeins of 400 yards each. There are no complicated stitches to worry about. Just a relaxing knit with ruffled results! No blocking needed when you’re done either!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
There are 2 size options for this shawl, so you can decide what works best for you! You’ll need a full skein for Color 2 (stripes and lace) for either size. For Color 1 (background body color), you can use a half skein to make the Small size, or use a full skein for the Large size. When choosing your colors, I think a high contrast or a subtle ...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The original “Easy Goes It” in fingering weight was my first published pattern in 2017! I am so grateful that so many people have enjoyed the pattern! Lately, I’ve received a few requests to make the necessary modifications for it to be made in DK for all the DK lovers out there. Well, I do want everyone happy, so here it is!
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Bonnie, my little Mini Red Dachshund, is always cold and has proven to be practically impossible to fit. So I decided it was time I designed a sweater for her, and hopefully, help out some other hard to fit kiddos! It’s written for 4 sizes, but take measurements and adjust if you think you need to.
Knitting: Cowl
My work daughter loves cowls! She has this wonderfully positive attitude about everything and I simply adore her. I told her I was going to design a cowl pattern with her in mind. It seemed perfect to design a pattern using what you probably already have on hand. There is so much we stress about. It’s nice doing something that makes you feel go...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Another pattern for those 50 grams! You can also use leftovers for this too. Pattern is written so that you can use 3 colors, or 4 colors, for a larger version. I keep buying these half skeins and saying that I’m going to design some type of “fade” pattern or something similar. I finally decided I just needed to make it happen… A fun pattern th...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I feel like I’ve been working a lot on crescent shaped shawls lately, but asymmetrical shawls are still my favorite. Not only are they my favorite to knit, but they can be my favorite to gift too. I think for someone who is unfamiliar with knitting, an asymmetrical shawl that doesn’t have to be blocked is the easiest to care for by the recipien...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
I love buying half skeins (50 grams) even when I don’t know what I’m going to do with them. This pattern was designed to pair a 50 gram skein with a 100 gram skein, but it’s flexible. You can adjust the chevron border in many ways, whether it’s just a preference change or if it’s to accommodate your amount of yarn. Notice that I have one exampl...
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Maxine and I have a new helper! Introducing little Bonnie to put out another cowl pattern for the interested puppers! We made this one with a light DK yarn because this stitch makes for a pretty thick fabric I think. Good for when it’s extra chilly! I think we may be having too much fun with these little cowls, lol. I hope you are enjoying them...
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Maxine, my little Mini Dachshund, is practically bald and is always cold. If it’s below 74, she usually has a shirt on. I’ve made her a couple of sweaters, but if you have a dachshund who likes to go outside and dig, you know how impractical this is. I have found that little cowls come in handy a lot. They aren’t just great for cool weather eit...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This is a 2 for 1! If you purchase either the original Out Cattin’ Around in fingering weight, or Out Cattin’ Around DK, you’ll get both to download. The original Out Cattin’ Around was written last year.
Knitting: Pet Clothing
Maxine and I have put out another cowl pattern for the interested puppers! I made the variegated one with more ribbing to give you an idea of what that looks like. Some of these babies have longer necks that others and need that little bit of extra! I love making these little cowls. You can knit one up in no time, and they are so handy when the...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Most of the time, I wear my shawls wrapped around my neck, but I like being able to let them hang like a scarf as well. The one skein crescent is slowly becoming my favorite size and shape because I love how it lays when I do either. For this pattern, I recommend having at least 430 yards. If you have more, you can easily add more repeats to th...
Knitting: Cowl
I wanted to design a cowl that was slightly tapered towards the neck to give it more height. This pattern is designed with two versions, so you can decide how much you want yours tapered. Lightweight, with a regular repeat to keep it easy, but changes within the repeat to keep it interesting. I went with fingering weight yarn because I love the...
Knitting: Scarf
A scarf that gives you the look of ribbing, but it’s not quite ribbing. Bonus is that it has no purl stitches for you purl haters! Simple repeat, so it’s great for travel and TV knitting. Works up in no time with DK or Worsted yarn.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
My original goal with this pattern was to design something that would work well with those 50 gram skeins I love buying. Then I thought, I can use a full skein and have 50 grams leftover too. Win, Win! I also had to make another version of the pattern for the one skein lovers because I fall into this group as well. There’s just no bad shawl to ...
Knitting: Scarf
Squishy, all occasion scarf that you can knit up in no time. Simple repeat, so it’s great for travel and TV knitting. Also, great for a beginner who is ready to do something besides knit and purl. Use a different weight yarn if you like too. I recommend using a needle a couple of sizes larger than you normally would for your yarn, then adjust y...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
You’ll receive 2 patterns with this purchase: Asymmetrical in Symmetry 1 and Asymmetrical in Symmetry 2. They are basically the same pattern visually, but subtly different in how they are worked up to accommodate certain factors.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
The crescent shape always lays so nicely around your shoulders, and with the size of this one, it’s easy to wrap around so you can wear it many ways. I recommend having approximately 350 yards for Color 1 (variegated in the pic) and 450 yards for Color 2 (solid in the pic) to be safe. Pattern is very easy to adjust for your amount of yarn thoug...
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
One skein crescent shaped shawlette for your 400 to 460 yard skeins. Easy to adjust for your amount of yarn. If you follow my patterns, you know I like to give options! Shawl lays nicely around your shoulders or wrap it around your neck for some extra coziness.
Knitting: Cowl
Lightweight cowl with garter, lace, texture, easy repeats, and it changes up regularly to keep it interesting.
Knitting: Cowl
Soft and squishy, snug cowl/neck warmer that is pretty on both sides. Slight ribbed effect, so it’s quite stretchy too. Pattern repeat is perfect for TV knitting or traveling.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Update!!! This is now a 2 for 1! This is the original Out Cattin’ Around pattern in fingering weight, but there is also a DK weight version you’ll also get with this purchase! DK listing is here: https://bit.ly/2xOKDSu
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
An easy to memorize repeat that makes for perfect TV and travel knitting. Pattern is written for 3 sizes, but is also pretty accommodating with its stretchy fit. Instructions are included for a beanie and for the longer, slouchy look. I have also included a second set of instructions for a roomier Rasta style.
Knitting: Beanie, Toque
Quick knit with a little texture throughout to give it an interesting look and keep it from being too boring. This hat came about because I wanted to make a roomier hat that wouldn’t flatten my hair. Pattern was meant to fit loosely, but I have updated it to have 2 sizes so you can decide which might be a preferable fit.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Large skein fingering weight, asymmetrical pattern. Lightweight with a slipped stitch edging and some lacework to add character. Pattern based on the larger 460 yard skeins and I used practically all 100 grams. Plenty of garter for some mindless knitting, but then some lacework you may have to give a little more attention.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Single skein, long and slender asymmetrical pattern. Lightweight with lacework framing two sides. Pattern based on the larger 460 yard skeins, but has instructions on what to do if you’re using a 400 yard skein. Nice repetition throughout the middle to breeze through. Will make for good TV or travel knitting!
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
So much texture! I actually worried if it was too much, but I really liked the look of it. Long and slender asymmetrical triangle pattern, written so that you can customize it based on your amount of yarn. Included in the pattern are instructions for whether you are using a 400 yard skein or a 460 yard skein.
Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
This pattern was specifically written for the 400 yard skeins, so you can feel confident about not running out of yarn with the smaller skeins. It’s easy to customize for more yardage by simply adding to any section. I would just continue knitting the lace at the end with my extra yarn. A fairly simple pattern with a nice slipped stitch edge. S...
Knitting: Rug
There was quite an internal debate on whether I should call this a pet mat or a bath mat. In the end, I gave up and decided not to call it either one. It all started when it had become clear to me that one of my dogs was never going to allow me to shower in peace. I decided the only thing I could do was make him a comfortable place to lie down ...
