Merry Christmas! A free gift for your--My Bohus Experiment Hat--free pattern!

Merry Christmas to all!
Here is my gift for the season--a free pattern!

This hat was an experiment in Bohus knitting. Bohus is Swedish color knitting which involves pretty color changes with purl stitches placed strategically through out pattern. It is very pretty. The hat pattern involves simple ribbing to start, then the Bohus stitch pattern is worked with bands of colors bordering it. then the simple to work top decreases. It is knit in the round as well.

You can find the pattern in Ravelry and Craftsy for free. And in Etsy it sells for .20 cents! Here are links:

Happy Holidays to all with this lovely new wrap--Holiday Garland Wrap

Hello everyone!
Seasons greetings to all this wintery December! I have a fair idea we just might have a white Christmas after all! At least here in Maine!

Check out my new design for the holidays!  A lovely wrap or stole which features garlands of leaves and an intricate lace border design which came out just beautiful. Make this wrap to wear for those holiday events!  It would also work well for a spring or summer wrap with its delicate lace. It was fairly quick to knit, the border is a pattern that requires a little more concentration since it has lace patterning on every row. But after that the main body of the design is quick to knit and easy to memorize.

You can find this pattern in my Etsy, Craftsy or Ravelry shops. Here are links to all:

Sailing Seaman's Scarf and a pretty sunset!

Hi everyone!
I just finished a new scarf for December! This is a little different from some of my other scarves as it is knitted in the seaman's scarf tradition.  It really knits up quickly and is so fun to do. There is only one slightly complicated area of the scarf to knit and the rest is very easy! There are charts as well as written directions.

You can find this pattern for sale through Cratsy, Etsy or Ravelry.  Here are links:
