Gladys Gloves




A Free Crochet Pattern


 Today has been a day. We woke up to no water in the house. Our pipes froze. More specifically the pipes connected to our water meter froze. There are tons of others going through the same problem with these frigid temperatures, and I am thankful it was our water not working instead of our heat. Hopefully we will get things thawed out soon (with nothing broken) and be back to normal. Even with all the chaos I really wanted to get this new pattern out for everyone. 

I wanted to make a fitted glove (ie a glove with a thumb gusset), that had a comfortable fit, and also had a classic cable design that will never go out of style. This is a large pattern, mainly because of the thumb gusset, but don't let that scare you. Most of the rows only change by two stitches. 

Where to get This Pattern

This pattern is a free pattern on the blog in size small. Just keep scrolling down to find the pattern. If you would like an ads free, printer friendly version you can purchase from my various pattern shops listed below.

Croton Petra Cowl

A Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern



It has been forever since I have shared a Tunisian Crochet pattern. A whole year in fact. I decided I needed to publish a new one stat. I wanted a cowl that was lacy and chunky at the same time. I also gave it a marled look by crochet two colors at the same time. It gives it a striking effect that makes the stitches stand out. I put this pattern at an intermediate level only because it is a Tunisian crochet pattern.  It only uses basic stitches and it is a 3 row repeat, so it is easy to get into a rhythm with it. I hope you enjoy.

Winthrop Basket

 A Free Crochet Pattern



Some of the best advice I have gotten in my creative business is, "when you have a creative block go back to what you already know and build off of what you have already done." So for me a lot of the time that looks like re-using a stitch pattern or if I have a hat pattern I will try and make a cowl or gloves to go with the hat. 

This past month has brought a lot of extra stress. My Grandpa passed away after a stroke, there has been some other deaths and sickness from friends, one of my daughter's was having a lot of things going on at school and our little county of 34,000 has a positivity rate of 13% for covid testing. That is all the stress of last month. Traditionally November is my busiest time for my blog. I think that is pretty normal for most fiber arts blogs. All of this resulted in my crashing and burning of creativity. 

So I went back to what I know. I looked through my past patterns and found something that I could recreate into something fresh. I came up with the Winthrop Basket. 


Do you recognize the stitch pattern? It is from the Tree Farm Cowl. I had bought some Lion brand Rewind yarn. I thought it would be like t-shirt yarn that I could use for straps on masks. When it came it was very apparent that it was not t-shirt yarn. But it is very light and soft and when it is worked up it feels like felt. I thought it would be perfect for baskets. I'm pretty sure I am right. 


I hope you enjoy these baskets as much as I do.  I'm going as simple as possible for Christmas this year, brown paper bags for gift wrap and red yarn for ribbon. I'm going to use these baskets too. I think I will have the girl's Christmas jammies in them to open Christmas eve.

This is a free crochet pattern on the blog. Just keep scrolling down to see this pattern. By having it free on the blog I am able to promote the pattern more and share it with more people. I also feel that I bring some trust to my readers who can read through the pattern before they decide if they want to purchase the pattern.

If you would like to purchase this pattern that is ads free and printer friendly, it is available for Download through my Ravelry Store For $3.00. For the first week you can get it for $1.00 (usd). 


I also have the PDF for sale at Love crafts. It is a a little higher price at $3.60. This helps cover the fees that come with posting the pattern on that site.

Ruth's Kitchen Towel

A Free Knitting Pattern


It's been a while since I have shared a free knitting pattern. I recently made a crochet version of this towel. You can find it on Ravelry here. When I was finished with it I knew I wanted to make a knit version and so here it is. 

This is the hanging kitchen towel you always wanted. It is soft with the perfect subtle texture to get your hands dry. It is constructed just right so that it will hang in place without going anywhere.  Make a couple of matching dishcloths for the perfect house warming gift.
