Gradient Crochet Pattern Round Up

I’ve been seeing more and more gradient and ombre patterns popping up lately, and I love it! I’m quite fond of the way they can subtly move from one color into the next, so that you often can’t even notice where the changes happened! There are many ways to achieve this look, from a yarn that does it for you, to pacts of yarns made to work together as a gradient, to picking out the yarn colors on your own. I have searched around and found several examples of these fun color changes for this week’s round up!

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.

Beatrice Ryan Round Up

This week I am pleased to share Beatrice Ryan Designs with you. Beatrice Ryan Designs is the creation of Elana Hunt, a skilled designer and a kind and compassionate woman. Elana has quite a few designs, including a series within her designs called Amazing Grace. Here is a little about the Amazing Grace Patterns:

The Amazing Grace Free Crochet Pattern Series is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness. Each Amazing Grace Pattern is designed to comfort cancer patients as they are treated and recovering from this or any disease!! You can pay it forward by making one for yourself and one for someone in need…

I have included several Amazing Grace patterns along with some of her other patterns in this round up.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something about each of them.

Off-white dress form in a lightweight chevron crochet wrap with alternating rows of solid stitches and lacy open stitches which accentuate the chevrons. The wrap is made with thick strips of light and medium blue yarn separated by thin stripes of coral yarn. The wrap is draped over one shoulder then tucked under the opposite arm.

Wrap Yourself in the Comfort and Beauty of This Chevron Lace Wrap Pattern

The Christina Wrap is a light and lacy chevron wrap I designed and made for my future sister~in~law with a silk/wool fingering weight yarn.

Spring Cowgirl

Spring Cowgirl is a continuous shawl with a cowl neck top. Maybe that makes it a shawl point cowl? I have no idea what to call this thing! Let’s just call it pretty. It uses 2 generous sample size skeins of yarn (a 50g and a 25g skein), but can be made from one 100g skein of fingering weight yarn, with plenty leftover for a fun small project. (Maybe one or two of the Twisted and Twirled MKAL or MCAL patterns.) The yarn was provided by Mode Knit Yarn and Knitcircus Yarns as part of the swag bags from the Marley Bird Designer Dinner at the Summer 2015 TNNA Needlearts Trade Show. Thank you!!! Both yarns were a pleasure to work with and the colors are just beautiful.

Moogly Round Up

Who loves Moogly? Everyone!!! This week’s round up featured patterns designed by Tamara Kelly of Moogly. Tamara is a superb designer, a brilliant business woman, and a very dear friend of mine. Most of Tamara’s patterns are free crochet patterns, but she also has knitting patterns and some sale patterns. I have included a mix of them all in this round up. In addition to the patterns and other wonderful content on Moogly, such as video tutorials, giveaways, and product review, Tamara also has 2 Craftsy classes, and patterns published in some online magazines. I’m sure we will see Tamara showing up in even more places across the yarnie universe!

Well, after lots of work, and lots of fun, I have finished the additions to the Fall Leaves Wrap pattern.
