Hilde's Corner



I have a really good place to find great knitting/crochet patterns! Recently I was looking through patterns on a site and I was astonished that each pattern I looked at was one I wanted to knit. “Wow - there are so many good patterns here” I said to myself. “That one’s good, this one’s good,... oo… here’s another! Wow!! So many!” Then I realized I was looking at my “Favorites” folder.

As foolish as that realization made me feel, it also hit home a point. How often do we actually look at the patterns we “Favorite”? Clearly, I rarely, if ever, do. And there are some great patterns there! Curated especially for you, BY you. So, take a moment and look at that place where you favorite or bookmark patterns. I’m betting you have forgotten many of the patterns that are there!

If this sounds familiar, our Avent Calendar Making Party in July would be a lot of fun. Choose your own items for an advent calendar that you will open in December, and odds are good you won’t remember what you chose for yourself come winter! (I can’t be the only one whose husband regifts books because I can’t remember that I read it already…)

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Chemo Caps - Part 2
