The Disperse shawl pattern is now live on Ravelry and Payhip!
This crocheted assigned pooling shawl is a collaboration with Euphoria Knits using their Frenzy base in the Megra colorway. And if you’re visiting DFW Fiber Fest this weekend, you should definitely check out their booth where they’ll have other AP colorways too! In fact, if you show them your receipt for this pattern, you’ll get a discount on the yarn!
Assigned pooling (AP), sometimes called stitch by color, is a beginner-friendly technique in which each stitch is determined by the color of the yarn in a variegated skein. Typically, the yarn will be mostly one color with streaks of an accent color. The main color in the yarn will be assigned a basic stitch pattern (e.g. double crochet), while the accent color will be assigned a fancier stitch (e.g. puff stitch). While this concept is certainly not new, it has gained popularity in recent years through the in-depth explorations of Dawn Barker and her many stunning knitting patterns that employ this method. While I often offer twin patterns, designed for either knit or crochet, this one is only crochet. If you’re looking for a similar vibe using knit stitches, definitely go check out Dawn’s work!
The pattern is written in 3 sizes, using 1, 2, or 3 skeins of sock weight yarn. However, it's an easily adaptable pattern that can really worked to any size you like!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS (approximate)
Span: 39 (56, 70) in / 97.5 (140, 175) cm
Depth: 16 (24, 32) in / 40 (60, 80) cm
Note: Finished size will depend on the proportions of colors in your skein. Longer sections of accent color will result in larger puff stitches, but less of the main color means a smaller shawl overall. Shorter accent sections will yield smaller puffs, but more main color translates to a larger shawl. The yarn used in the sample had roughly 8 in / 20 cm sections of accent color in a 48 in / 122 cm loop.

Seismic Shift Shawl to Knit or Crochet
I'm so excited to announce that I've partnered with Miss Babs to design a pair of knit or crochet patterns for the next installment of their Inspired Adventures Club! Kits for the Seismic Shift (knit) and Seismic Shift (crochet) shawls are up for preorder now through August 11 and will ship on August 14.
The construction of this shawl takes its cue from how the Hawaiian Islands were formed as the tectonic plates slowly moved over volcanic hot spots, forming new islands along the way.
The knit pattern features garter stitch fabric, while the crochet version is worked in half double crochet. Each shawl begins at the top and is worked downward, similar to your standard top-down triangular shawl, with a twist or two.

Pride & Progress Cowl to Knit or Crochet
The Pride & Progress Cowl patterns are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)!
20% of the proceeds from pattern sales will be donated to The Trevor Project initially. In the future, these funds may be directed to other organizations that support the queer community, wherever the need seems greatest at that time.
This design takes inspiration from the Progress Pride Flag created by Daniel Quasar. Like the flag, the cowl builds on the traditional rainbows, joining them with mitered stripes representing transgender people, people of color, and those impacted by HIV/AIDS. Its modular construction - four squares forming a continuous tube - symbolizes the progress we can make when we come together and prioritize inclusion.
The knit pattern features garter stitch fabric, while the crochet version is worked in linen stitch. Each cowl is an infinity tube (aka doughnut or torus) formed by joining four squares together. The first two squares are worked separately in rainbow stripes, from one corner to the other, on the bias. The third and fourth squares are worked modularly by picking up stitches from the rainbow squares and working mitered squares inward with decreases at each corner.
These cowls were designed in collaboration with Leading Men Fiber Arts, using their set of 11 mini skeins in the colors of the Progress Pride Flag. Go check out their Pride Box that includes this yarn and pattern, plus other fantastic pride-themed goodies!
Approximate amounts per color are also included in the patterns, in case you want to use up leftovers from stash or substitute colors if there's a more specific pride flag you would prefer.

Lakewood Cowl to Knit or Crochet
The Lakewood Cowl patterns are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)!
The knit pattern features garter stitch fabric with an i-cord edging, while the crochet version is linen stitch edged with camel stitch. Both are worked from the top down, beginning with a flat triangle, then joined to work a flared tube in the round. Each pattern includes video tutorial links for the relevant techniques.
These cowls were designed in collaboration with Knit Dallas, using their custom colorways from Plied Yarns. Each sample was made with 1 skein of North Ave, plus 1 North Ave bobbin for the trim.
The pattern is incredibly versatile too. You could easily use any yarn weight you like. The patterns include measurements at each step, as well as guidelines on how and where adjustments can be made, so you can work your cowl at whatever gauge you've got, in whatever size you need!
Plus, you can have tons of fun playing with color combos!
* Grab a semi-solid mini skein to accentuate that sassy speckle!
* Stick with a neutral base, then add a pop of neon in the trim!
* Let that gorgeous gradient shine!
* Wanna bust that stash? Try a scrappy stripey version!

Wonky Blocks Blanket to Knit or Crochet
The Wonky Blocks Blanket patterns are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)!
Inspired by English paper pieced quilts, this blanket combines squares and diamonds in a playful, off-kilter grid. Knitters will enjoy the meditative garter stitch with simple increases and decreases, constructed in columns using a join-as-you-go technique. Crocheters can whip up stacks and stacks of center-out shapes in basic double and treble crochet to be quickly assembled a few at a time or all at once. Work one up in whatever size you need using any weight of yarn. Make yours a scrappy stash-buster or a precisely planned showpiece!
This pattern was designed in conjunction with the 2023 Fiberside Summer Yarn Crawl, a virtual event throughout July and August featuring tours of dozens of yarn shops across North America. Your purchase of a $10 All Access Pass to the crawl includes a code to download both the knit and crochet versions of this pattern for FREE! Visit FibersideChats.com for more details.
YARN
This pattern was designed to look good with any weight of yarn. If you’re worried you may not have enough of that weight in your stash, try holding multiple strands of a lighter yarn together to achieve the same weight. For example, by holding two strands of fingering weight yarn together to approximate DK, you can use up some of your sock yarn leftovers and your sweater leftovers at the same time!
COLORS
Whether you choose a small, curated palette or go wild and scrappy, your blanket is sure to dazzle! If you’re struggling with choice paralysis, here are few strategies I would recommend:

- Focus on one side of the color wheel. Maybe grab all the blues and greens from your stash, or all the pinks and purples. Using a range of hues that have a common primary color can create a cohesive look, even in a scrappy project.
- Stock up on neutrals for something a bit more subdued. If you get bored, you can always throw in a pop of neon for funsies!
- Take inspiration from your favorite work of art. Give it a good stare, allowing your eyes to blur, and jot down what colors jump out at you first.
- Use the diagram at the end of this pattern as a coloring page and have fun!

Jiggle & Joggle
Jiggle and Joggle are now live on Ravelry (knit and crochet) and Payhip (knit and crochet)!
This pair of sister shawls each sport a striking sideways chevron design. These shawls were designed in collaboration with my newest local yarn shop, Knit Dallas, using their exclusive colorway "East Dallas" from Neighborhood Fiber Co. Each design takes 2 skeins of the Rustic Fingering base, but the shop also stocks the Studio Sock base if single ply isn't your thing.
The knit version, Jiggle, uses intermittent i-cord cast ons to gradually add more chevrons and build depth, followed by i-cord bind offs in the latter half to create that triangular shape. The crocheted Joggle shawl is formed in much the same way, using chains to sporadically extend the lower edge at first. Then, beyond the midpoint, blocks of stitches will be left unworked at the beginning of each decreasing section to bring the shawl back down to a point at the other end.

The Enamored cowl is now live on Ravelry and Payhip! This chunky cowl has a whole lotta love in every stitch!
Large colorwork chevrons on the bottom half and small chevrons on the top meet in the middle to form a series of sweet little hearts that hug the neck. Two-color corrugated ribbing finishes off each edge. If either of these techniques is new to you, don't fret! The pattern includes links to video tutorials on my YouTube channel in case you need a helping hand.

Plain double knitting transitions effortlessly into basic brioche ribbing and back to double knitting again in this versatile, reversible cowl design. There are so many ways to style this cowl and hat set!
Pibling (noun): a gender neutral term for the sibling or sibling-in-law of one’s parent, such as an aunt, uncle, or non-binary equivalent
Video tutorials are included for the two-color Italian cast on, double knitting, brioche, and the tubular bind off, making this an excellent skill building project for the adventurous beginner!

Lady Bird
Lady Bird is now live on Ravelry and Payhip!
This shawl begins at one tip and is worked side-to-side. German short-row wedges along the top edge of the shawl cause the direction of the knitting to shift from perfectly horizontal at first to ever increasing biased angles. I-cord edging and an i-cord bind off lend a smooth finish to the garter stitch fabric. This shawl was designed in collaboration with JuJu Knits in Fort Worth, Texas, using their shop exclusive colorway, Lady Bird, from MadelineTosh. Both the colorway and shawl were inspired by the former first lady, Lady Bird Johnson, and her Texas wildflower legacy.
