Another pattern I've created

I have created this very textured double thick, reversible hat using only 2 stitches. There are multiple sizes. Toddler (1-3yrs) will work for anyone with a head circumference around 16-17”. Child (4-10yrs) will work for anyone with a head circumference around 18-19”. Adult Female will work for anyone with a head circumference around 19-20”. and Adult Male will work for anyone with a head circumference around 21-22”. It is worked in one continuous “tube”, and it can easily be lengthened or shortened, with instructions on how in the pattern. Although I used Red Heart any worsted weight yarn should work.

Materials needed include 5-6 oz (200-280 yds) worsted weight yarn in 2 colors, H/8/5.00mm hook, blunt-end needle.

Written in US terminology.

Intermediate level: although only 2 sts, 1 is not a “typical” stitch and the pattern can be a little confusing with the increases and decreases.

A very big thank you to my testers:  Joanne, Carmen,  Cindy, and Shannon!

New Pattern released!

Well I finally did it! I got the XOXO Cross Blanket Pattern ready for sale and now it is available! You can buy it on Ravelry (you do not have to be a member to buy it)...

A very textured blanket using only 3 stitches. This is available in 2 sizes- Baby and Toddler/Lapghan. There is a “relief” of a Cross in the middle of the blanket, making it perfect witnessing or as a Christening Blanket. The Baby size is approximately 38” long and 26” wide. The Toddler/Lapghan size is approximately 50” long and 38” wide. It is worked bottom to top. Although it is designed with Pound of Love(a worsted weight), it can be done in many yarn weights. Use a finer yarn and a larger hook to get a lacier effect, or a thicker yarn with a comparable hook to get a bulkier look.

I finally did it!

So I have been crocheting for several years, but really picked it back up and learned the most in the last 2 years... Greg has been watching me and listening to me talk about it (even though he could care less) and finally asked me the one day "Why don't you sell your patterns?" I told him that I didn't have any patterns since all I do is alter patterns to meet my needs... So there was a lot of back and forth on it and finally he understood why i couldn't sell what I had altered slightly for fit or something... Then I made a blanket for a friend's baby shower that was a MAJOR change from the original design... Greg told me to sell that pattern and I continued to fight him on it... Finally, I had several people explain to me how it was my own design, so I have that pattern being tested for clarity/errors... Then I designed a scarf, using some other patterns as reference, but my own design... I am happy to tell you that the pattern for that scarf was tested by two lovely ladies and is now finally ready for sale!!! X's Keyhole Scarf is now available to buy for $2.50, as a Ravelry download... As of right now, you have to be a member of Ravelry (free to join) to purchase this pattern, but I am working on figuring out how to make it available to anyone... (Edited to add, I think the buy now button will allow you to purchase without joining Ravelry) So here is my scarf from the X's Keyhole Scarf pattern:
