Pointed collar with beads

Here is a pattern for making a collar with pointed ends, as opposed to the well known Peter Pan collar. It is quite an easy and quick make. The addition of beads to the pointy ends is optional, but adds an attractive detail. Feel free to try it and share your results if you would like.

My Sweet Socks

When my youngest daughter flew the nest, I decided to construct a sock that reminded me of her. Here, I present My Sweet Sock pattern, a toe-up crochet sock with a cute cupcake stitch design. This pattern is the result of a collaboration between the Mind and Muse Crochet Podcast and the Crochetcakes Podcast.

Miniature crochet sock

This is a pattern for a miniature crochet sock. The sock it produces has all the parts of a regular size sock: toe, foot, short row heel, leg and cuff. The final object is about 2 inches long and uses between 3 and 4 g of yarn. Use it to make key chains, Christmas ornaments or even jewelry. Enjoy!
