Looking for something a little different to knit this summer? ☀️🧶

I'm going to try something new with my knitting and crochet patterns. I'm going to pick random patterns and link to them in the captions.

To see the pattern link, tap the the photo and the link will be right there for you to click.

If you like the links better this way, make sure you interact with the post by leaving a comment, liking it, or sharing it. These interactions help Meta (Facebook) understand that people are interested in the post, which helps determine whether it should be shown to more people.

This is also why you’ll often see me ask for a specific comment in my posts. Comments are one of the ways Facebook recognizes that people are engaging with the content. When Facebook sees people joining the conversation, it’s more likely to show the post to others who may enjoy it too.

If you like this way better, with direct links, then help make it work. I'll ALWAYS do it this way if it's what you prefer and it works.

I don’t think a lot of my newer followers have seen this one yet, so I’m pulling it back out. 🧶

These double thick bo**ie slippers are made for real wear, not just lounging. You can knit them either with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn held together or super bulky yarn, so they work up quickly and come out extra dense, cushioned, and long-lasting.

They’re knit flat on straight needles, and there are video tutorials included if you like a bit of visual help while you work.

This is one of those practical patterns that just quietly does its job really well… warm feet, sturdy fabric, and something you’ll actually keep reaching for.

The free pattern is free to read on my website.

If you love knitting hats, this one is for you 🧶☕

I gathered up 9 cozy hat patterns, all knit flat on straight needles, with easy-to-follow instructions, videos and photos to help along the way.

The patterns are still available free to read online, but the book is a cozy way to keep them all together in one place. ❤️

I also put all the hats together on one page so you can browse through the photos, choose your favourite, and go right to the pattern link or the book.

Want the link to a specific hat? Let me know which one in the comments and I’ll send it your way!

Or comment “Cozy hats” and I’ll send you the page with all the hat patterns and book links. 🧶

This slipper design has been in the works since January, maybe even longer. 😬 I’ve been distracted by my scrap hats and the compilations (2nd book may be out today btw 😉) and my son’s graduation! I’ve been busy…

Anyways, I’ve proofed the written pattern and test knit these slippers and it looks good! I’m hoping to get this out sometime next week. 🤞🏼

I’m debating whether or not to do a pattern drop - offer the PDF for free for a limited time, for 24 hours and if you miss it, it’s gone. Once the 24 hour period is over, you can always read it for free on my website or buy it from my retailers like Ravelry and Etsy when it’s over.

Cold hands, but still need your fingers free? 🧶

These simple fingerless gloves are perfect for chilly offices, rainy walks along the beach, brisk autumn afternoons, or anytime you want a little extra warmth without giving up the use of your hands.

If you've always wanted to learn how to knit fingerless gloves, this pattern includes a full step-by-step how-to video that walks you through the entire project from start to finish. No guessing, no wondering what comes next.

They're practical, cozy, and make wonderful gifts too!

The pattern is free to read online, and the video tutorial is included to help you every step of the way.

Say "keep my hands cozy" below and I'll send you the link! 👇

Have you ever knitted fingerless gloves before, or would these be your first pair?
