Mini Christmas Raglan Sweater Ornament Pattern

Love me some Christmas. I’m so in the Christmas spirit. I wrote this pattern in my bed this morning and I took the pics at the mall while having my coffee.

It’s a raglan sweater. You can always look up raglan on YouTube to see what it’s all about.

Please try it out and tell me what you think. You can use smaller or larger needles to get different results.

My first socks pattern

I crochet a lot and knit too. Just crochet much more than I knit. Beside that I write my own patterns. It takes creativity and lots of ripping or frogging as the British would say, in other words time, time, and more time. I will never say it’s hard work as I totally love what I do. It’s my passion to always be playing with yarn, crocheting and knitting and challenging myself by writing patterns. This pair of hippie socks are the first socks pattern I ever attempted and I must say it’s also my best seller.

New PATTERN: Extra Wide Crochet Headband in 3 different design.

I am in my pattern writing mood, so today I posted an, extra wide crochet headband pattern that I have been working on for the last couple weeks.

The first one I attempted was the rainbow design, then I made a variegated/plain one. And last but not least

I made the Rasta, why not because after all Rasta is my favourite colour combination to work with anyday.

I hope you like it. Remember if you get stuck you can contact me anytime via my email DylanaDesigns@gmail.com.

Knit Basketweave Cowl & Hat Pattern

Surely I know that I have spent at least half my life knitting and crocheting. I can never really choose which I like best. I keep noticing that I tend to crochet more and realize that it’s because crochet items sell really well in my Etsy shop.

After all that babble I have dedicated 2018 to write more knitting patterns. Not to worry I will surely keep putting out crochet patterns I will just be more mindful to add more knit patterns to my repertoire.

This Knit Basketweave Cowl and Hat Pattern is very easy. If you have never used circular needles or double-pointed needles then this is the pattern for you to try.
