Just LOOK 👀 at the diamonds on this beanie! 💎 I love how the textured band gives it that little something extra, and the double-thick brim means you've got extra coziness right where you need it. Add a bobble on top or leave it off. Your hat, your rules! 😁

And before anyone asks, YES, you can make this one without knitting in the round! It's knitted flat, then sewn together, and I've included video tutorials to help you with those cable stitches. The pattern has sizes for kids about 5 and up through adults, so you could make a whole pile of them for the family.

The full knitting pattern is FREE to read right on my website! No signing up, no email nonsense (unless you want to receive my occasional newsletter 😉). Just head over, scroll down the webpage, and get knitting!

Say DIAMOND BEANIE in the comments and I'll send you the link! 🐝

Working on a brand new bobble beanie design! This knitted toque pattern has a subtle, double thick band around the forehead and ears. This hat is perfect for someone who likes fine detailing that isn’t screamingly obvious yet practical enough for day-to-day wear.

Like always, this pattern will be free to read on my website once completed. I tend to post the online version a few days before the printable copy is available so you may want to check out the website to see if it’s up. I don’t make the formal announcement on Meta until my patterns are available on all my retail platforms like Etsy, Buy Me A Coffee and Ravelry.

If you’re looking for a Halloween knitting project that’s actually fun to wear, this little spider is ready to crawl onto your head. 🕷️🎃

My Spider Beanie is a creepy-cute Halloween hat with a big knitted spider right on the front. It’s perfect for Halloween parties, trick-or-treating, fall festivals, haunted houses, or just keeping your ears warm while looking appropriately spooky. 👻

The hat is knitted flat with two needles, and I’ve included helpful videos for the trickier stitches and for working the spider, so you’re not left staring at your knitting wondering what on earth that stitch is supposed to do. 😂

And because apparently one spider isn’t enough... there are matching Spider Fingerless Gloves too! 🕷️🕷️

You can make the hat and gloves as a fun Halloween set, or just knit the hat for your favourite spider enthusiast.

The Spider Beanie is a free knitting pattern to read online, so grab your needles and get your Halloween knitting started!

Comment “Spooky spider hat” and I’ll send you the link. 🕷️🎃

Remember this little monster? 👀

He’s back. And he’s still WAY cool. 😂

This is one of those knitting patterns that makes me wonder why I ever thought knitting had to be sensible.

The Way Cool Monster Purse is a fluffy knitted bag with goofy monster eyes, little arms and legs, and a knitted strap. The texture comes from a fun loop stitch that gives the whole thing that wonderfully fuzzy monster look.

And because I know some of you are thinking, “Cute... but I’m not carrying a monster around.” 😂

You don’t have to!

Leave off the eyes, arms and legs and you’ve got yourself a really fun fluffy knitted purse instead.

I’ve now made the PDF knitting pattern FREE to download on my shop on Buy Me A Coffee (BMAC), so if you’ve been wanting to make this one, this is your chance to grab the pattern for FREE!

And yes, there are other patterns in my BMAC shop too, if you happen to wander around while you’re there. 😉

Would you make the monster or the regular fluffy purse?

Tell me: MONSTER or FLUFFY? 👹👜

I’ll put the free pattern link in the comments.

Working on a brand new winter beanie knitting pattern and this one has a bit of a creepy crawly vibe; dare I say, Halloween-ish!

TBH this design could be worn at any time of the year. It all depends on the person wearing it 😊

There’s something about a good pair of knitted mitts that makes chilly weather just a little more tolerable. And these ones have leaves. 🍂

These Leaf Mitts are a cozy knitting project with a pretty leaf motif running across the back of the hand. They have just enough detail to keep things interesting without turning into one of those projects where you need to clear the kitchen table, consult three books and question your life choices. 😂

They’re knit flat on straight needles using worsted weight yarn, so no double-pointed needle gymnastics required.

And of course, you can choose whatever colour makes you happy. A deep fall colour would be gorgeous, but I can also see these in a soft neutral, a rich green or something wonderfully colourful.

The pattern is free to read on my website, with how-to videos to help along the way.

If you’d like to make a pair, say "Let's make leaf mitts" in the comments and I’ll send you the link. 🍁

Happy knitting!
