This would be such a pretty addition to you decor – or to hang on a ribbon around your neck. Another quick, versatile, free pattern for you. You can get it here.
Here are some great books for towel topper patterns
And, wouldn’t your bathroom look extra special over the holidays with a basket of these pretty cloths? They are ‘baby’ wash cloths, but I’d ‘rebrand’ them as finger tip/guest towels or even napkins. Of course, you can make these in any color(s), but the crispness of the red and white I find especially appealing. Get the free pattern here (in US or UK terminology).
Are you in need of a smashing ‘conversation piece’ to attract attention on your coffee table? This would definitely do the trick. It’s an updated version of an old Puritan pattern and I love it’s 3D effect. Color choice here will make all the difference. If you’re really brave, you can make enough for an afghan. What a beauty that would be. Or, simply add some more contrasting rows to enlarge the piece for a table topper. Get the free pattern here.
Have a ‘tween girl you need to make something for? This is so simple I’m angry I didn’t think of it. I LOVE bangles. Wear them every day! This would be a really good pattern to attract a ‘tween to learn to crochet also. It’s really simple. In fact, when you see the website where you can find the free pattern, you won’t realize you’re reading a pattern. But, you are! Make it in ribbon. Make it in thread. Make it in yarn. Make it in string or anything else you have on hand. I might even dangle a charm off one of them. Just a thought.
If you want to make a special shawl to warm your (or another’s) shoulders, you’ll appreciate the way this one fits over the shoulders. It’s a half-hexagon, so it’s composed, essentially, of three triangles that work together to keep it situated comfortably upon the shoulders. You can go about your business and this one won’t fall off as you move around. It’s not difficult to make, can be worked up in any suitable yarn and hook combination to create the size you want, and, best of all, it’s a great freebie. Treat yourself to some easy care, cozy yarn and make one of these for yourself. You won’t be sorry!
And, finally, I had to share another lovely poinsettia with you. I love this one – and Sher has a great tutorial to help you make your own. Oh, so easy. You’ll want to work up a slew of them to give as gifts, hang as ornaments, or tie onto packages.
