I love crocheting for the guys in my family. Crochet sweaters, such as the Brentwood Pullover, are my favorite projects for the guys, but when I'm in the mood for a smaller project, crocheted hats and scarves are it! When it comes to designing for the guys, I tend to stick with basic crochet stitches as I feel they give a more classic look. The Reversible Basic Ribbed Scarf is a very simple pattern that uses alternating rows of only 2 stitches to create its reversible ribbed design.
When I began designing the Scarfie Bandana Cowl, I only had intentions on making it in adult sizes until I received a request for child sizes as well. She said she really wanted to make a mommy and me set so that's when I decided to add in the toddler and child sizes. I had been dying to use one of Lion Brand Scarfie’s latest colorways, Mint/Silver, ever since it came out so I grabbed the yarn, grabbed my hook and off I went to swatch. As I was swatching I fell more and more in love with this self-striping yarn and knew it was the perfect yarn to bring my vision to life. If you haven’t crocheted with Lion Brand Scarfie yet, you really should go pick up a ball today!

"My daughter really wanted a Harry Potter Scarf so I made her this stripe scarf. She loved how it turned out. I used an I hook and medium worsted yarn. You can use any type of hook and yarn. I uploaded a video if you need more help. You can create this scarf with many variations of stitches such as a single crochet, double crochet, or treble crochet. I used a single crochet to make it very tight. "
"The Charlottetown Cowl is such a gorgeous way to use up your fingering yarn. The pattern repeat is easy, and the combination of stitches provides subtle texture. This design allows for the cowl to be worn down, over the shoulders like a poncho, or gathered around the neck as a traditional cowl. All of my patterns have been tested by several accomplished pattern testers and designers to ensure that you are getting a pattern free of mistakes and is easy to follow. Please note that all my patterns are written in standard American terms."
"Crochet items for men that they will actually wear and aren't boring are very difficult to find. This hits just right with a basic gender neutral style that can remain simple but interesting. You'll need two colors of your favorite worsted weight yarn. The sample is Lion Brand Heartland in Grand Canyon and King's Canyon. The pattern calls for an H hook for this perfect for couch crochet project that is sure to be loved."
"Poppies are definitely my favorite flower. Icelandic poppies are so uniquely beautiful! I love how delicate their pastel petals look. The pattern includes instructions for making a large and small poppy. This pattern uses a combination of worsted and dk weight yarns. You can use almost any fiber type to create these poppies. I used acrylic yarn in my finished designs. Cotton yarns produce a more stiff petal. Wool creates a fuzziness that makes the stamen of the flower look a bit more realistic."
