Announcing Newest Kristin Pattern & Video Tutorial!

Kristin's latest pattern is the Fer Sure Legwarmers Crochet Pattern. As an 80’s child, not only did I wear legwarmers, but my vision and inspiration for this design was the video for ZZTop’s “Legs” with the cute girls dancing around in mini skirts, heels and ruffled angle socks. Ok, so there’s a little Flashdance inspiration in there, too. Add a little spunk to your step in these super easy and quick crochet legwarmers! Learn a coulple new stitches for a stretchy edge without a starting chain! Make them in colors to accent your wardrobe. 

Pattern is available for immediate download for $3.99 HERE: Fer Sure Legwarmers Crochet Pattern 

Pattern features Drew Emborsky's The Crochet Dude Sarcastic Yarn

Video tutorial features Rosewood Crochet Hooks by Lantern Moon

It is a super easy and quick pattern that uses foundation stitches. Here is my YouTube tutorial video on how to make a foundation single crochet and foundation double crochet:

Debut of Kristin's two new patterns: knit shawl and crochet barefoot sandals

Announcing two brand new patterns by Kristin: one knit and one crochet, and both available for immediate download!

The Mermaid Shawlette knitting pattern is a simple project that only uses yarnovers and the knit stitch, yet incorporates 3 yarns and by manipulating the direction of each row, you create a striped textured pattern without purling! I used 3 different yarns with beautiful variations in texture but within the same color family. The sequins and sparkle are so pretty. The edging is simple to create with large eyelet holes and the added volume creates a pretty ruffled border. One yarn is a sparkly ribbon, one is a sparkly brushed mohair, and one is pre-strung with tiny sequins. So pretty together!!

 

The Barefoot Sandals crochet pattern is one of my favorite patterns in a while. Despite how simple and frivolous they may seem, make one pair and try them on. Seriously, I feel so girly and feminine in them. They are so much fun!! Plus, you can make them in no time flat for gifts, too! In this pattern, you will receive 5 patterns to make 5 different styles! Each one incorporates different stitch patterns and uses a variety of yarns in different colors.
