Wanda's Chain Bridge Scarf

One of the things I like best about crochet is how flexible it is.  First, I found and posted the beautiful Finnish shawl.  Then a friendly reader, Christina, translated the pattern for us (see Comments Section of the link above).  Then Wanda emailed me with a picture of how she interpreted the pattern to create a lovely and unique scarf as a gift for a teen girl.  I love it!  From across the world and across the internet, we are able to share our love of crochet and our various adaptations of a pattern.  I’m so glad Wanda sent this to me!  I hadn’t thought to downsize the beautiful Finnish Shawl for a scarf – but guess what my next project will be!

  1. Thanks, JD, for the kind words. I love doing the scarf and was honored that you wanted to share it on your blog.

    You are an inspiration, and big help, to so many. It’s nice when we can give back. 🙂

Free Crochet Pattern – Elevation Mitts

Let’s talk about a winter essential that combines coziness and style: the Elevation Mitts by Zara Powter! If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying project that screams winter vibes, you’re in the right place.

These mitts are inspired by everything we love about the season—think falling snowflakes and sipping hot cocoa by a crackling fire. The pattern uses Wonderfluff, a dreamy bulky yarn blend of baby alpaca, merino wool, and nylon. Translation? These mitts are as soft and warm as they look!

  • Modern Vibes: The clean, cozy design pairs effortlessly with any winter outfit, from puffy jackets to sleek wool coats.
  • Multiple Sizes: Whether your wrists are petite or you’re making a pair for someone with larger hands, the pattern has sizes to accommodate everyone.
  • Difficulty: Easy (yay for beginner-friendly!)
  • Hook Sizes: 7.0mm and US J/10 (6.0mm)
  • Yarn: Wonderfluff Bulky, 2 balls (about 284 yards)
