The Dragon Wing Cape features horizontal stripes and raised vertical spines which come to points creating a wing-like look.
The Dragon Wing Shawl is part of my Dragon Wing crochet and knit pattern set which features textured detail using the Jacob’s ladder stitch.
The Cleo scarf features my knit Jacob’s Ladder technique that is so popular. The ladder runs up the center of the scarf creating a spine.
Sometimes we all need a hug! This little Monster Hug Lovie features an adorable little monster attached to a small octagonal blanket, and is perfect for little arms to hug and love. You can embroider on any sort of expression you like. I’m fond of the squiggly smile, because laughs and hugs go well together!
The Looped in Love Skirt was inspired by my Dragon Wing Scarf. I love the way the increases work within the Jacob’s Ladder Stitch, and it just screamed “make me a flared skirt!!” I learned a long time ago, when a yarn or stitch pattern talks to me, it’s in my best interest to listen. So here it is, a fun skirt for all ages that flares between vertical sections of looped stitches. It’s made from the top down, so it can be made to any length that suits your fancy. The longer the skirt, the more yarn it will take.
I have had so many requests for a crochet version of the Dragon Wing Cowl, that I just had to oblige! So here it is: the Dragon Wing Scarf. It is a bit longer and more flowy than the knit counterpart, and I really like it! There are notes on how to make it shorter if you want to button it as a cowl, but I really like the scarf. The Crystal Palace Panda Pearl yarn is perfect for this fashionable accessory. It’s so very soft and luscious!
The Delia Slouch Hat is the sister hat to the Delia beanie hat, it features a Jacob’s Ladder detail up the hat, and a starburst top.
I LOVE the look of the Jacob’s Ladder technique, don’t you? It adds great texture, and it makes a really neat “jumping” effect when worked with color changes on each round or row. I love it so much that I made a tutorial with lots of pictures, a practice piece, and even a video! You can find the tutorial here. There are so many things you can do with this technique, and here is a collection of some patterns.
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
The Delia hat is a playful beanie hat. A Jacob’s Ladder detail runs up the hat, creating a little starburst pattern at the top.
Tamara’s Kismet Square uses the traditional Jacob’s Ladder stitch in the center, and is bordered by the Jacob’s ladder stitch flipped on its side. This creates a lot of fun texture and a really nifty~looking square, if I do say so myself. 😉 The idea for turning the Jacob’s ladder stitch on its side came from this awesome pattern. The square can be used in blankets, pillow covers, as wall art, or in some other way you can imagine. You can even make a quick baby blanket with 6 of these squares and a border, it works for boys or girls. Just have fun with it!
