new crochet pattern - textured pot holder by kim miller.
 |
| Textured Pot Holder by Kim Miller |
Skill Level: Easy/Intermediate
Styles may change but our needs remain the same, so it was my desire to create a pretty functional pot holder that would fit into our modern decor. This fun pattern is highly addictive and because bobbles are used, as opposed to the popcorn stitch, the pot holder works up relatively fast!
This crochet pattern calls for one 68 yard ball of Bernat® Handicrafter® Cotton for each
pot holder, but any worsted weight (4) 100% cotton may be substituted. The pattern uses the following stitches: single crochet, double crochet, bobble, and picot.
The finished, unblocked pot holder measures 20.3 cm (8”) by 20.3 cm (8”)

new crochet pattern - basket of owls baby blanket by kim miller.
 |
| Basket of Owls Baby Blanket by Kim Miller |
Skill Level: Intermediate
This gorgeous, cabled baby blanket is full of texture, and will make a timeless gift that is sure be enjoyed and treasured for years.
This crochet baby blanket, featuring a border of 16 cabled owls, is worked from the center out. The owls buttons eyes are attached as you go, making it safer for baby. Also, the textured stitches hide the join at the end of each round, so other than the last few rounds of the owl panel (as shown in the last picture) the border is barely noticeable.
This crochet pattern includes lots of colour pictures to help you to successfully complete your project, but please note that the pattern is written in a condensed manner, so good pattern reading skills is recommended. The pattern calls for 4½ skeins of Berroco Vintage worsted weight yarn [100 g (3.5 oz)/200 meters (217 yards) per skein], and 32 – 16 mm (5/8”) buttons. The pattern uses the following stitches and techniques: adjustable ring, ch, sc, hdc, dc, fpdc, bpdc, fptr and picot and cluster. Instructions for the latter 5 stitches are included.
Finished Size: Unblocked = 68.6 cm (27”) by 68.6 cm (27”). Blocked = 71 cm (28”) by 71 cm (28”). Please note that the size is approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of yarn.

sneak peek.
The crochet pattern for this baby blanket was inspired by a very dear and sweet customer. It just so happens that as I was pondering a design for a square baby blanket, one of our customers contacted us, and suggested designing a pattern for a square baby blanket with a cabled owl border. I was immediately inspired and spent the rest of the day looking at stitch dictionaries and researching yarn.
Working from the center out presented all sorts of design challenges! After much frustration and tearing out, I'm so pleased with the finished results and happy to share with you a sneak peek.....
Just a few details to work out and the pattern for the "Basket of Owls Baby Blanket" will be ready for publication.
