Hi Pals! Welcome to my blog! Today I am sharing with you every project I designed in 2023 (that I was able to release!). This is a mixture of free and paid patterns, but if you want them all I HIGHLY recommend checking out my PDF Bundle I have on Ravelry with all of the patterns.
Airy Wrap
This is one of the paid patterns, this was a collaboration with Hobbii and I was SO thankful to do this collection. Normally, they only choose one pattern per theme, but I was chosen to do four. 🖤
It’s cozy, light but warm at the same time, perfect for early summer mornings or icy winter nights. The color is also perfect for spring photos, or even paired with a dark green sweater and some jeans for the fall. I guess what I am trying to say is this shawl is my favorite scarf/shawl/cozy item I reach for the most, and I hope it becomes yours too.
Apollo Sweater
This sweater is named after my husband and is one of my favorite sweaters I have ever made, I totally may have stolen this one from him. 🥰
Boot Cuffs
These sweet and simple boot cuffs are a great addition to any holiday outfit! This beginner friendly boot cuff pattern takes just an hour or so to make a pair, so this will make your market prep and holiday gifts fly off your hook. Anyway, have fun pals, I can’t wait to see what you make!
Bright & Cheery Blanket
TODAYS PATTERN RELEASE! I have a new blanket up on the blog today for free! This will also be added to the PDF bundle by the end of 2023.
Burning Embers Hooded Vest
Another paid pattern, but this is my top pattern of the year, well right next to the Prism Cardigan. I have dreamed of designing a hooded vest for years now, and the moment I saw this yarn I knew it was it. The way these colors fade into each other, really any color way would make the prettiest (or most masculine!) vest.
C2C Triangle Shawl
I am obsessed with corner to corner crochet, and this scarf just FLIES off your hook as you make it. One cake of Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Bundle and a 5mm hook and you’ve got yourself a triangle shawl.
Cottage Core Bandana Headband
I have seen these all over TikTok but they are all made with mohair or tiny fingering weight yarn or cotton thread and I just wanted something to do with my stash of random worsted weight cotton so I figured why not make my own. That leads us here. *exits stage right*
Cozy Batwing Sweater
This was one of my 2020-2021 designs that never made it out of the notebook. I hope you like this one.
Daisy Granny Square Bag
I had originally planned on making a cardigan for Pride, because yellow, white, purple, and black are the colors of the Non-Binary flag, but after making 42 yellow circles I decided I did not want to weave in 42 squares worth of ends, so I finished 10 and called it a weekend. Also, as much as I struggled with it, the daisy is probably my favorite part because it only took 22 tries to figure it out. The temptation to just google it crossed my mind, but this time, I won.
Daisy Mesh Bag
Daisies and mesh crochet are being used in all kinds of trends right now, but I also knew I needed one more bag for my books when I go to the library, so here we are. (Yes, I have one bag per book, just to keep them cozy.)
Dragon Scale Dice Bag
This hasn’t been tested by anyone, but it has been made plenty of times with nothing tossed my way so I assume it makes enough sense for you to make your own bags. I wrote this in 2018 and have updated it as best as I can, but please let me know if you run into any issues!
Fluidity Skirt
Part 3 of my Elements Collection. This Fluidity Skirt is the skirt of this fall I swear. Made with three strands of mohair held together, this is a cozy, warm, fluid skirt. Perfect for layering over tights or rocking bare legged, either way you’re going to look cute as heck.
Holiday Trees
Another collab with Hobbii!
Japandi Keyhole Scarf
This scarf features a keyhole design so you can slip your scarf right through itself and you never have to worry about it slipping off again!
Maya Shawl
If you like Tunisian crochet, check out this pattern! I designed this back in 2021 for Lion Brand using their heartland yarn, and then I forgot what happened but it didn’t get published and they let me share the pattern anyway. I also don’t remember where this name came from, so that’s also a fun thing.
Moonstone Cowl
An older pattern that I was finally able to release. This is another design I got done in 2020/2021 ish and then Lion Brand discontinued their Wool Ease Roving line about a week after they sent it to me it seemed like, so this pattern didn’t really get its time in to shine and that made me sad, so here is it! (Realistically, it was probably a few weeks, but it seemed wicked fast for a designer call and then it being discontinued.)
Necktie Scarf
I was looking through Ravelry for days to find a crochet version, and they were all knit! And while I love knitting, I knew the crochet stitches would give me the structure to stand on its own around my neck, and the color details of this yarn could really pop. Idk, sometimes I just prefer crochet, yanno?
Prism Cardigan
My favorite of 2023 🖤🖤
The Messenger Bag
Have you ever wanted to make yourself or a friend a bad ass bag that can hold your snacks and books or even a small laptop? Well, you’re in for a treat, enter stage right The Messenger Bag. This bag is made with Hobbii’s Ribbon yarn and has such good structure with the perfect amount of stretch. My partner is obsessed with this bag, and I think you will be too.
Thermal Crochet Bag
The thermal stitch is such a fun way to add density and strength. And holding so many strands together at the end makes such an easy and strong strap, plus if you are using a similar color palette, it makes the prettiest marled rainbow. This bag is great for holding a kindle, a book or two, a few snacks, or the rocks and sticks you found on the sidewalk that you HAD to bring home.
