    Trinity Stitch Crochet Baby Blanket

    Hi Everyone! I recently finished this crochet baby blanket using Heather, from the Unraveled Mitten’s, pattern for the trinity stitch. I wanted to try a new stitch and googled some and thought Heather’s pattern was so pretty for the teal yarn I had. For the blanket I made, I casted on 150 chains as the pattern calls for chains in multiples of 2. Once you have completed the blanket to the length you would like, change the yarn to a contrasting colour and single crochet around the whole blanket. Once that is done, change the the yarn colour again and make an scalloped border. Materials5.00 mm (H) HookWorsted (4) Weight…

    Poirot Cross Stitch

    Hi Everyone! I am here with another design for a cross stitch project. My friend’s birthday was coming up and she loves Detective Poirot and I wanted to make her something so I decided to find a cross stitch pattern online.

You can find the pattern on Stitch Fiddle through this link. I was not able to include the…
