Kris' Corner - Valentine Memories

Valentine Memories


I don’t know about you but my favorite holiday in elementary school, besides Christmas of course, was Valentine’s Day.  I loved decorating my shoebox to receive valentines, I loved picking out valentines for my classmates and I loved all the sugary goodness of cupcakes and candy at the actual school party. Since Valentine’s Day is only a month away I thought I would check out some fun patterns to celebrate St. Valentine.



“Valentine Hat” by Kirsten-Michele is a sweet knit hat covered in hearts and geometric motifs.  It is a fun slouchy beanie with an optional pom pom on the top. It is $6 on Ravelry. Ciao or Uptown DK would be a nice choice for yarn.



How can you not smile looking at these funny creatures hugging hearts!?  “Valentine Love Hugs” is a crochet pattern by Crochet at Teri’s.  I love their expressions as they cling to their hearts.  This would be a great little present, especially for the teacher to put on her desk! Ricorumi would be a good yarn for this project. The pattern is approximately $2.81 on Ravelry.




I love this snuggly “Valentine Cowl” by The Blue Moose.  Just two colors, pink and red, but the hearts look so cute scattered across the rows.  Uptown Worsted would be a great choice for this one.  The pattern is FREE on Ravelry.



Last, a fun crochet keychain that reminds me of the popular Emotional Support Chicken in mini form.  “Valentine Chicken Keychain” is by Tanya Tappleta and is $2 on Ravelry.  I love the small heart on the chick”s body as well as the sweet expression on its face.  What is it about putting eyes on a knit or crocheted creature that brings out their personality!?  This also would make a nice valentine gift for someone you appreciate or love.  Ricorumi would be a perfect yarn for this one.


Hope you find a way to let someone know they have a place in your heart this Valentines Day!!

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!

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
