The Autumn Leaves Cowl Pattern

Posted in October 2024, The Autumn Leaves Cowl Pattern by


This year at the New Jersey Sheep and Fiber Festival, I was happy to see Marian of the Marianted Yarns since it was her last time vending there. A few years ago, I bought a Practicality 75/25 (superwash merino/nylon) fingering weight skein in the Beeswax colorway from her. I wanted another skein in that colorway this year, but it was unavailable. Instead, I chose the Honeycomb colorway and purchased it. Both colors remind me of the autumn leaves in my yard. I will miss Marianated Yarns next year, but the Autumn Leaves Cowl will help me remember this wonderful day at the festival.


The Autumn Leaves Cowl is crocheted back and forth, holding two strands of the same colorway of yarn together. The single crochet V stitch pattern is repeated several times, with alternating colorways every 2 rows. A row of crochet moss stitch is made from the right side to the left. This helps flatten the bump from the V stitch cluster. A row of crochet moss stitch is also made on the foundation chain edge, starting at the slip knot stitch. The 2 edges are then joined using the crochet zig-zag join method. Lastly, the Autumn Leaves Cowl is completed with a crochet moss stitch border. This border is on both the top and bottom edges of the cowl.

The Braided Dishcloth Pattern

Posted in July 2024, The Braided Dishcloth Pattern by

Since July 2020, I’ve been sharing patterns, starting with the Seed Stitch Mitered Dishcloth Pattern. During the COVID-19 pandemic, knitting/crocheting and creating patterns became a healing and therapeutic activity for me. I used Premier Home® Cotton Yarn in the Jelly Dots colorway for this dishcloth and for eight more patterns (see image gallery below)*. I had bought this yarn from the now-closed A.C. Moore arts and craft store before the pandemic. Although the store is closed, I’m grateful that the pandemic is over. The Braided Dishcloth will be the last pattern I make with this yarn as I no longer have it. This yarn colorway quickly became one of my favorites, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using it for the numerous dishcloths and other handmade items.

The Braided Dishcloth is crocheted using the brioche stitch pattern, which is also known as the double slip stitch pattern. The brioche stitch is reversible making this a versatile crochet stitch pattern. This stitch is worked similar to the half double crochet stitch but with a slip stitch instead of the third yarn over. The horizontal braids in the brioche crochet stitch reminds me of the Lateral Braid or Vikel Braid knit stitch pattern. The dishcloth is finished with a crochet moss stitch border and a hanging loop, measuring just over 7.5 inches in width and length after blocking.

Materials Needed for the Braided Dishcloth:
Yarn: Premier Home Cotton® Cone yarn in Jelly Dots (Colorway 1) and Colorway 2 – any solid color worsted weight cotton yarn for the border (I used some leftover Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn in Country Red that I already had) 
Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Gauge: 4.5 stitches per inch in brioche crochet stitch pattern
Crochet hook: US size 7 (4.5 mm) and US G-6 (4.0 mm) for the border edge

Crochet Skill Level: Basic level with single crochet, half double crochet (How to Half Double Crochet) and slip stitches 

Abbreviations:

  • sc: single crochet
  • […]: stitch pattern repeats

  2. Yarn over (wrap the working yarn around the hook counterclockwise), catch and pull yarn through the top strand of the second chain stitch and through the two loops on the crochet hook
  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all the remaining foundation chain stitch including the last chain stitch of the slip knot end
  4. Chain one in the last stitch and turn for the second row
  5. For the brioche crochet stitch (see images below), yarn over and insert hook into the strand below the second regular crochet stitch and repeat step 2
  6. Yarn over and insert hook into the strand below the next regular crochet stitch and repeat step 2 for all the remaining stitches in the row
  7. Chain one in the last stitch of the row and turn
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the preferred number of row in the brioche stitch pattern

To Crochet a Cardigan

Posted in 2023, September 2023 by


Last month I completed my very first crochet cardigan. It is based on the free crochet pattern called In the Clouds Cardigan by Grace of For The Frills. The cardigan is beginner friendly and the pattern comes along with a video tutorial on how to crochet this cardigan. The video tutorial for this cardigan was very helpful.

I picked this cardigan because it had a similar crochet moss stitch pattern (single crochet, chain one) yet where the single crochet was placed gave a different texture to the crocheted item. This textured crochet stitch pattern was also my inspiration to design and crochet the Four Sections Blanket pattern.

Briefly, the body of the free cardigan pattern is worked sideways (lengthwise) beginning from the first front panel, then the back, and ending with the second front panel leaving gaps for the armholes. The shoulders are seamed. The sleeves are crocheted flat and then seamed to the armhole edges. The ribbing for the body, sleeves, pockets, and neckband are crocheted separately using smaller crochet hooks and then seamed to the cardigan.

My cardigan looks quite different from In the Clouds Cardigan. Although I used the sideway technique and the same stitch pattern, I made several modifications to the cardigan. The cardigan I crocheted is not oversized nor does it have any pockets. Worsted weight yarn that I had purchased some years ago was used instead of the bulky weight yarn recommended in the pattern. My gauge was different and so were the crochet hooks that I used.

The biggest modification was in the sleeves of the cardigan and the neckband ribbing. Since I didn’t have enough yarn left to crochet long length sleeves, I decided to pick up stitches along the armhole edges with a knitting needle and purled both sleeves (pictured below) ending with a repetition of [Knit 1 through the back loop, purl 1] for the ribbing of the sleeves. For the neckband ribbing, I crocheted several rows of the moss stitch pattern all along one front, the neck and down the other front.


There are two main lessons I learnt from crocheting this beginner friendly cardigan pattern. One is that you need more yarn for a crochet cardigan than for knitted cardigan, and the other is that crocheting a cardigan takes less time than knitting one.

I am satisfied with how the cardigan turned out. Since the time to crochet a cardigan is much shorter than knitting one, I will definitely be crocheting more sweaters. There are several free crochet patterns available on For The Frills website that are quite lovely and beginner friendly. Some patterns also have video tutorials. I can’t wait to crochet another cardigan or a pullover using these free patterns by Grace.

The Speckles Dishcloths Pattern

Posted in August 2023 by


This summer I’ve been obsessed with crochet, especially the crochet moss stitch and the alternate moss stitch patterns. After crocheting the Summertime Market Bag and the Four Section Blanket, I became preoccupied with crocheting a cardigan. More details about the crocheted cardigan in the next post. I am giving in to this crochet obsession since it’s faster than knitting and projects are completed in less time.

The crochet moss stitch is one of my favorite crochet stitch patterns since it looks quite similar to the linen knit stitch. As with knitting, crocheting dishcloths is also a good way to try out new stitch patterns or techniques. The Speckles Dishcloths are crocheted in two different ways. One Speckles Dishcloth is crocheted flat going back and forth while the other Speckles Dishcloth is crocheted center out and in the round. An alternate to the magic ring technique is used to start the dishcloth in the round. Both dishcloths have the same slip stich, chain 1 border edge.

The Speckles Dishcloths Pattern (text and images for personal use only)

Yarn: Colorway Yarn 1: Capri Eco CottonTM Multicolor Yarn by Loops and Threads® in Fruity Speckles colorway; Colorway Yarn 2: Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn in Country Red colorway. You will need about 100 grams of yarn for both dishcloths.
