Ahrrr! Pirates Hat
Free Pattern
It was love at first sight with Hello Yarn’s “We Call Them Pirates” hat but I didn’t have the weight of yarn or the right size needles suggested so I adapted the pattern for what I had on hand. You don’t really need the 20” circular. You may use double pointed needles instead.
This is my adaptation of the original pattern by Adrian Bizilia which may be found at http://www.helloyarn.com.

Cayenne
Free Pattern
Sugar and spice and all things nice, that’s what Cayenne is made of.
I’m hopelessly addicted to both knitting hats and lace so what could be better than to combine the two into a fun and funky accessory to lighten up the cold weather blahs.
Cayenne is a quick and relatively easy knit and I love the idea of a hat you can tighten and tie on tightly so the nasty north wind can’t blow it away.
The hemp yarn adds great color and texture in combination with the lace and will soften up with wear.
So what are you waiting for? Crank up the spice with out burning your mouth!

Maritime Wool Socks

My husband really loves hand knit socks which is a good thing because I love knitting them! Unfortunately, he says that most of them a little bit fancy because I usually can’t resist throwing in cabling so I created this sock pattern just with him in mind.
These socks are knit up fairly fast because of their simplistic design and they would be a fantastic weekend project. The light worsted weight yarn means that they are quite sturdy and should hold up to continuous wear and washing. Maritime Wool Socks would make perfect work and .hiking socks or just kicking-around-the-house-cozy socks for yourself of someone special.
