The May flowers square is reminiscent of a field of tulips. Using three colors, you can make the field of tulips your own.

Lavender Love Hat pattern is designed for PNW yarn crawl 2025 at Our Local Yarn Shop Pattern releases May 1.

Mosaic mitts pattern is my crochet design for the PNW yarn crawl 2025 at Our Local Yarn Shop. Pattern releases May 1.

This reversible square is a fun variation on the double crochet stitch. The blue and grey colors seem appropriate for the April skies here in Washington state.

This heavily textured square would make a great thick blanket. You could make the squares out of multiple colors or just one and it would be just as visually striking. I used most of one ball to make this square.

This pretty, intermediate level, square uses front loop and back loop only stitches that create a ridge along each row and a little lace feature. Pattern includes a chart, written instructions and a video demonstration of the stitches.

This square uses an interesting variation on the double crochet stitch. By adding extra yarn overs, the double crochet leans right and left each row. It makes a slightly wavy edge.

This yarn reminded me of those amazing summer sunsets with the pink, purple, and coral colors. The diagonal stitch pattern pops with the variegated yarn slowing the color changes and pooling at times.

This bag was inspired by our “Into The Woods” theme for PNW yarn crawl 2024 at Our Local Yarn Shop in Olympia. Amanitas are the most recognizable mushroom with their red color and white spots. Take this bag along for your mushroom foraging at the Capitol State Forest.

Fingerless mitts are great to use all year round and still have use of your fingertips. The texture of these mitts reminded me of blackberries. The pattern is written for two sizes and two lengths.

The Burgeoning wrap was inspired by plants, just beginning to come up out of the ground. The lace stitches I used, start simple and grow into larger leafy shell stitches. I used shades of green to represent the stages of plant growth, with the lighter colors at the top, closest to the sunlight.

The Starscape scarf is knit using a fancy stitch that resembles stars. I chose Lion brand Truboo Sparkle for the pattern’s stars because of it’s silky texture and sparkly appearance. Bamboo yarn can be slippery, so I recommend using wooden needles.

The finished scarf portion is 12 in X 48 in
