Its a pretty fast work up.Its very user friendly,even for beginners who are familiar with basic stitches. I used a super fine/ worsted 1 yarn,with a 2.5mm hook and he came out 11″ from tip of hat to boot bottom. You can use any worsted 2/sport weight, worsted 3/dk weight, or worsted 4 /aran weight with ease,it will just make him bigger.
I woke up one morning and just knew I had to make this!So I sat down, made my sketch to gauge my size by and began to crochet and write.
This pattern is free in my Ravelry store(link is below). I figured since its a Christmas ornament then it could be my gift to you for the holidays.
I used number 10 crochet thread in skin tone, black, gold and yellow. Everything is made with a 1.5 mm crochet hook.It’s all done with simple stitches,and should be a very easy make even for beginners. The trickiest part is the heel on the shoe and while there are plenty of picture in the pattern I have provided a video below to help anyone who may have issues with that part.
My first e-book! How exciting.I decided to combine 3 of my skull patterns, the beanie,fingerless gloves,and scarf patterns, to create the Skulls Winter Set.You can find the e-book here on my Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/skulls-winter-pattern-set
Hello! Its been a crazy few weeks. I’ve been working on this pattern for my “warmness managed” oversized pocket/shawl/wrap,and to say its been an adventure is and under statement.I’ve had tantrums, frogged, recounted, trashed graphs, plain made myself bonkers, but I’m very pleased with the end result.
If you purchase the pattern from my Ravelry use code Warmness and choose a 2nd pattern for free!
I tried to make this pattern as user friendly as possible. I did away with the graph and wrote it all out so it would be easier for everyone to follow along with. Below are some helpful videos that show the technique I used for the color changes, and working the cable stitches.
If you have any questions or issues please feel free to reach out to me.You can pm me through my Facebook page http://facebook.com/simplyme.hu Also please feel free to share pictures of your work on my page.I love to see what people create from my patterns!

This pattern can be made with or without the hood. I used about 3000 yds of Lion Brand Pound of Love( 2 skeins of gray and 1 skein of black) most worsted weight 4 tarns or aran weight will work well. I also used a 6mm crochet hook.
Lots of writing!
I used 2 different types of cable patterns.One on the pockets and one on the trim. The trim sections are made seperate from the body of the shawl and sewn or crocheted on.
I hope you enjoy my pattern! I can’t wait to see your completed work!
Hello all!I’ve been very busy in the craft room this month.So many ideas,so little time.
About 2 years ago I had a customer request I make a few unicorns for her.She told me what she desired and the Unicorn pictured above was born.Ive made her several times since then,but just recently I have gotten around to actually writing a pattern out for her.
As I was working on writing the pattern up,I thought to myself,this pattern would also make a cute dragon,so of course,I got side tracked,and had to experiment.
Today I have finally gotten back on track.My Unicorn pattern is finished and ready for testing.So it will be available on my Ravelry and Etsy soon.
The dragon,made from the unicorn base pattern, should be ready in about 2 weeks.
Enjoy your week and look for my blog post in the next day or two about the release of my unicorn pattern!
This is one of the first patterns I published.You can find the add free pdf on my Ravelry : Ridged Fingerless Gloves

I just love fingerless gloves,but I have to have my thumbs covered.I came up with a way to add a thumb that is comfortable,and flexible.I hope you enjoy the pattern.Please feel free to post pictures of your finished gloves and tag me on my Facebook or Instagram.
Below are pictures from my testers for you to enjoy as you scroll,I love seeing their finished work!

I spend more and more time at my desk these days, doing everything from writing patterns to working on this blog. Because of this, my workspace is constantly changing.I also do all my crocheting,knitting,and sewing at my desk/ work area,so I keep alot of supplies on and around/near my desk so I can easily find items I may need quickly.This can cause alot of clutter so every so often I have to rearrange and put things away.I work better with everything at my finger tips.When I have an idea I like to beable to react quickly and find what I need to follow through. My yarn is organized in my work are in a way that allows me to see what I have on hand so I can quickly determine if I have what I need or if I need to restock something.I love buying yarn,and my set up makes me feel like I’m yarn shopping. In the blog posts to follow I’ll be going over some of my creations and the process in which I created them.Hopefully you find my posts helpful ,interesting,and entertaining.
