New Pattern! Half Circle Purse
A.L. Dowdall July 28, 2017 July 7, 2018 Pattern

New Pattern! Half Circle Purse

Description This purse is made with simple stitches, but requires more concentration than my other designs. It uses staggered increases (to smooth the arcs and keep the straight edge straight) so stitch markers aren’t really useful. I highly recommend using Bernat Home Dec yarn or something similar so it’s easy …

Simple Tunisian Beanie
A.L. Dowdall April 26, 2017 July 7, 2018 Pattern

Simple Tunisian Beanie

Yet another beanie pattern, but Tunisian simple stitch sets these apart from most. I’ve provided instructions for adult (small, medium and large) as well as premie and newborn sizes. One ball of Bernat Satin is enough for one adult with enough left over for at least one of the smaller …
