On this site, you will find both knitting and crochet patterns as well as some helpful information and tutorials (my goal is to work on adding more video content for those of you who learn visually). I personally design and write each pattern so that it is easy to read and follow. Nothing makes me happier than when I hear from a reader that enjoyed one of my patterns. I put my heart and soul..

Adding Colour with Duplicate Stitch Knitting!
With Valentine’s Day coming up, now’s the perfect time to share with you a pattern that is close to my heart: a simple, yet beyond cozy double-brimmed beanie. This hat is truly a cozy hug for your head.
A heart is added to the brim of this hat using a technique called duplicate stitch knitting. This method for adding colour is one of my favourite, because it’s done after you’ve knit the fabric! You just take a needle and some yarn and follow the path of the stitches that are already there, kind of like tracing over them to add new colours or desi ..read more

With Valentine’s Day coming up, now’s the perfect time to share with you a pattern that is close to my heart: a simple, yet beyond cozy double-brimmed beanie. This hat is truly a cozy hug for your head. And while the beanie in the photos has a heart on the brim, it’s completely optional if you’re not a fan of hearts.
But, if you do like the heart, I’ll mention here that the colour work technique used is called the Duplicate Stitch. And, because I know some of you might be new to the Duplicate Stitch or simply want to see it in action for a refresher, I’ve put together a video tutorial and sh ..read more

I’m so excited to finally share a project that’s been on my to-do list for ages! This classic, simple raglan knit cardigan pattern is totally seamless (yay for no sewing!!). It’s knit entirely in stockinette stitch, with simple ribbing around the edges to make it a fairly easy first-time cardigan pattern.
If you’ve not yet heard the term ‘raglan’, it simply refers to a style of sleeve that extends in one piece fully to the collar, creating a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone (see photo below).

One of the most notable benefits of the raglan style is the sleek, sea ..read more

As the leaves begin to fall and the air grows crisper, I find myself drawn to warm, textured patterns that evoke the rugged beauty of nature. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you my latest creation: the Alpine Cable Knit Scarf. The cabled design of this scarf was inspired by the winding paths of the nearby Rocky Mountains.
I can’t wait for you to experience the warmth and beauty of this scarf, and I hope it brings a touch of mountain magic to your wardrobe!
Pay it Forward!
I hope you enjoy this pattern! If so, please feel free to share the link to this page on your social media or Pintere ..read more

Late summer is a magical time, where the days are still warm, but there’s a whisper of autumn’s approach in the air. One of my favourite things to do this time of the year is meditate in my garden as the sun goes down, surrounded by the beauty of the season. I designed the Retreat Throw to be the perfect blanket to wrap around my shoulders as the air cools down with the setting of the sun.
The name itself, The Retreat Throw, evokes a sense of solace and relaxation. Like a gentle invitation to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this blanket serves as a refuge from the demands of t ..read more
