I’ve been watching the Olympics and one of my favorite sports is the slopestyle snowboarding. I noticed the different beanies the Olympians wore, and I wanted to design something simple, warm and practical, the kind of tight-fitting aerodynamic hat you’d want on your head while you flew upside-down, high above the snow in the middle of an intri...

I’ve been knitting for years and have relatively little crochet experience. If there are any errors in the pattern, shoot me a message and I’d be happy to fix them.

Autumn.

A few years ago I started designing a pair of legwarmers for myself and kept running into problems. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, and when I complained to a friend they joked I could start with some for my flamingos and work my way up from there.

Wanna knit something tiny, cute and utterly pointless? Well here you go! Now you can have a sweater for your iPod because, as we all know, they need to be protected from the cold, just in case they might catch pneumonia. Or, for that matter, if your iPod suddenly becomes rabid or turns into a zombie, remember that if only you had taken my advic...

This morning I followed a little coyote up a pine-covered hill and through a grassy meadow in the light, misty rain that comes with California winters. It was a beautiful morning, watching the rain gently give way for a few spots of washed-out sunlight to show themselves before the fog rolled back in; the perfect morning for knitting and drinki...

This is my first beret design, but i think it came out really well. it’s easy to knit with simple shaping, but i think it came out really well. Basically, it winds up as a big pouffy mushroom shape, a little Renaissance-y and a little bit like a chef hat. It also comes out very big, so some basic blocking or felting will probably be necessary d...

The owls who swoop on silent wings,

This scarf is quite simplistic—a Garter Stitch rectangle.

11” x whatever.

I designed this Renaissance era blouse and skirt set for Cinzia, a porcelain doll my mom bought at Ren Faire around 20 years ago. Cinzia is handmade, but compared to standard, mass-produced dolls, I’d say she’s around the size of a Groovy Girl. As far as the outfit goes, it seems like a peasant style, although most outfits like this which I’ve ...

This is a basic short skirt with a ruffly lace edge and the pattern is set up so it can be knit in basically any size. The number of stitches you use is just the number of inches around your waist times the gauge and then rounded to the nearest multiple of twenty-four.

I know hardly anything about crocheting, but the more little things like this i make, the more it seems to make sense. As you can probably guess, this pattern is really easy. It took me around ten minutes to make, but would probably snap off the hook even faster for someone who really knew what they were doing.

I designed this easy little pouch to hold tea bags when i’m traveling. It would work for anything small though: coins, stitch markers, guitar picks…

I designed this as a cute cozy for my stainless steel water bottle. I think stainless steel water bottles are very good at keeping your water cool, and they help the earth by using less plastic for disposable bottles.

In a cold harsh world of concrete and apocalyptic gore, you really need some fuzzy, hand knit flowers to brighten your day. Make one of these to plant in the little strip of grass next to the sidewalk, or put one in a pot and give it to that absent-minded friend of yours who can’t seem to feed themselves properly, let alone a house plant. If yo...

I hate dropping stitches when the mess up your pattern, but i have to admit dropping a stitch and unraveling it all the way to the cast-on is pretty fun. I designed Scaffolding because i realized that dropping a stitch could actually be considered “decreasing” if you don’t use it to often. Well, i think this actually came out pretty well.

This design is meant for yarn bombing, but really you could use the simple lace pattern for almost anything. When i yarn bomb i never use patterns, but this came out really well so i decided to type it up in case anyone else felt like using it.
