Ezra Hat


A Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern



I have a brand new Pattern to share with you today. This is a Tunisian Crochet pattern, and I would label it an intermediate pattern. If you have made projects before with Tunisian crochet then I would classify this pattern as easy. This hat is worked flat and then seamed at the very end, so there is no need to learn how to Tunisian Crochet in the round.

The things that I love most for the Ezra Hat is that it is a quick make. I'm able to make it in about 4 hours. It has good texture and form that would work well as a lady's or men's hat. As you read through the pattern you will also realize that is is really adaptable to make it fit just the way you want it to.



Where to purchase the pattern

This is a free pattern on the blog. To find the free Adult size pattern, just keep scrolling down to see the full pattern. 

If you would like to purchase an ads free, printer friendly PDF. It will be available in all three of my shops on Ravelry, Etsy and LoveCrafts. If you ever see this pattern elsewhere know that it is not coming from me, and could be a scam. 

In the PDF pattern you will find pictures, charts and  fully written instructions for 4 sizes, baby, child, tween/teen, and adult. 

I hope you will consider purchasing the pattern to help support future patterns.

Flutter Fly Hat

 A Stranded Knitting Pattern


When I made and Dino Might Hat and everyone loved it; I knew that I wanted to make another similar design. For the second design I decided to go with butterflies. I hope this hat brings as much joy as the dino might hat. This pattern also comes in two sizes; child and adult. It is an easy pattern to adapt to make it just the right length for you. With the model above. It fits my head just right with a little bit of slouch on top without folding the brim. 


This pattern is available in all three of my shops on Ravelry, Etsy and Lovecrafts. If you see it for sale anywhere else its not coming from me.

Here is a sneak Peek of what you will get with your PDF pattern


  • A beautifully formatted PDF   
  • The written instructions and chart to help you create this hat from start to finish
  • Two sizes; Child (18 inch) and adult (22 inch)

The First Page of the Pattern



The things that I love the most about this hat is the adaptability of it. You can add a longer brim for a fold over brim, you can add an extra motif section to make it wider, or you can add length to the body of the hat to give it more slouch. The choice is yours. I also really love the big contrast between the butterflies; they really pop out.

Neat and Tidy Dishcloth

 A free crochet pattern





I started thinking about the idea for this dishcloth a few weeks ago and I thought for sure someone had already come up with the design, so I started looking around different pattern sites and I didn't see anything that was the same. I decided I should go ahead and type it up. 

This dishcloth is a lot of fun to make. I can make it in an hour and, and it has great visual appeal. I love that I can customize the colors for any theme, and I of course love the texture that the front post stitches give the dishcloth. 

Where You Can Get the Pattern

This is a free pattern. Just scroll down to find the pattern. 

I also have the pattern for sale in my shops. this is a great option for those of you who would like an ads free Printer friendly version. The same price of the pattern keeps this blog running and helps provide extra money for me and my family. 

For my Ravelry shop I will have it for Sale for a $1.00 for the the first week then it will go up to its regular price of $3.00.

Verona Dishcloth

 A Free Knitting Pattern



I have a new free knitting pattern for you today. Last week I published a crochet dishcloth and this week its the knitters turn. 

This dishcloth features a middle lace panel, that is surrounded by cabling and and a seed stitch edging. I think I will always love the look of seed stitch on dishcloths. I also love that the lace panel is only 13 stitches wide so there is not a lot of stitches that you need to memorize to make this dishcloth really look great.


How to get This Pattern

This is a free pattern on the blog. Just keep scrolling down to find the the full pattern. If you would like an ads free, printer friendly version you can purchase through my shops listed below.
