I’ve been in the mood to make baby blankets lately … don’t ask me why. I don’t know anyone that’s expecting a baby and I certainly am way past those years. Maybe it’s because it took so long to warm up here in Ohio, and I haven’t minded having my lap covered with a warm […]
This pattern is fairly simple, and I love the post stitches that create the ribs and the ridges in this infinity scarf! The pattern I started with is The Ribs and Ridges Scarf on the The Friendly Red Fox website. I altered it just a bit. Rather than crocheting a rectangle and sewing the edges […]

This is a simple crochet pattern for fingerless mitts using our Snuggle Yarn. The color pictured is called Knot of Naturals. All but the foundation row uses half double crochets, with four different rows crocheted in the black loop only, creating texture in this simple design. These fingerless mitts work up quickly in this bulky alpaca […]
