Little ones deserve some fashion-forward design, too, and Vickie Howell delivers the goods. Her crocheted Pea-wee Toddler Coat makes a fashion statement like no other. Details abound: sweet collar, contrast stitching and double-breasted wonderfulness. Crocheted in Stitch. Rock. Love Sheep(ish), this “peacoat” is pretty darn precious.

Our theory on scarves is: you can never have—or make—too many, especially when you find an intriguing pattern like Vickie Howell’s Biased Opinion Scarf. Knit in her new yarn Stitch. Rock. Love.

If you haven’t tried Sheep(ish) yet, here’s your chance to try a soft wool-blend roving yarn that has wonderful luster and a fantastic palette. The Lacy Daisy Ascot features a...

This scarf is simple in construction but has lovely depth of color because of the two shades of yarn, double stranded. Make it for yourself or for my charity, Purple Stitch Project!

As a mother of three, Vickie knows a thing or two about how to make little ones happy. Knit in her fabulous retro-chic Sheep(ish) color palette, Vickie has created Modern Love(y), an adorable, snuggly (and washable!) baby blanket. And since adults need a little love, too, Vickie offers an alternate yummy colorway for us. Both versions will be ...

I paired the wavy lines of the Arcade Stitch pattern with a clean, boxy cut to create a roomy, go-with-everything jacket. Penny Arcade can be dressed up by belting and pairing with a funky skirt or sleek pants. Make it casual by throwing it over a t-shirt and jeans. It works with anybody’s style really, and is the perfect garment to keep aroun...

This week I thought I’d share the quick and easy project I demo’d at the recent TNNA (The National Needle Arts) convention. Chopstick cozies are a sweet way to use up scrap yarn and paired with a pretty pair of sticks, make a cute housewarming or host gift. My pattern offers both knit and crochet instructions and is made using Sheep(ish), in c...

Vickie works a little color magic on a small scale. Combining crocheted granny squares with a knitted ribbing, her Baby Granny Hat in her new Sheep(ish) yarn is, without doubt, adorable.

Parents of toddlers will relate; getting a sweater on an always-running child is a challenge. That dear stitchers, is why the TooDee Frutti Poncho can be a mom’s best friend! Cut the chill with this crocheted cutie, then high-five yourself for a job well done!

SIZE (Stretches to Fit)

The Tuxita Baby Tunic is knit in Blue Mint & Forest Floor using Garter & Stockinette stitch. The tiny tuxedo ruffle adds a little playfulness to an otherwise simple, vest bodice. My daughter Clover’s modeling it over tights, but it would be equally adorable over baby’s jeans, leggings or bloomers!

The Whirlwind Wrap is crocheted in Forest Floor and uses the Bullion stitch. I added some metal buckles because I love the look of hardware on garments but if that’s not your gig, a shawl pin would also work beautifully.

Also available at FaveCrafts.com, as “Grey Slouchie Beanie”.
