Well it finally happened, I’ve ventured into the world of pattern writing. It started because I was inspired by Hello Yarn’s Irish Hiking Scarf, but wanted to make it reversible. So that’s what I did. I have written a pattern for it, and it is free! (Done so with Hello Yarn’s permission.) Once I finished the scarf, I wanted a hat to go with it, so that pattern is up too.
I’ll be working on more and more free patterns to offer as soon as possible. I have some ideas, but there are only so many hours in a day… and I need to do a new sock tutorial soon!
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these freebies!

I love those patterns! I am making a reversible scarf based on a pattern for a shawl that uses the k2p2 technique. It’s very cool how it works! You did great!
Thank you! Yeah I learned the technique while knitting The Great American Aran Afghan, and out of the billions of cables in that thing, this was the one I loved the most. I mean, come on, REVERSIBLE cables? LOVE!
ok ok I finally ordered some Malabrigo,so now I can see what all the fuss is about. :teehee: Silver your hat will be the first thing I make with it .THANKS for sharing
Wow, I’m flattered!! I want everyone to know that this scarf was inspired by the IHS, but I wanted it reversible, so that’s what I did. Then I got some inquiries about how I did it, so I asked for Adrian’s (@ Hello Yarn) permission before publishing mine. She only asked that I name it something different. I just figured that others might like to make a reversible scarf too… and apparently I was right. I just hope she doesn’t feel like I’m stealing her thunder. Totally not my intention.
I’m not one to agree with that “you can’t sell your knitted work” rule. Maybe I would feel different if some big company started making and selling them… but right now, I’m a young and naive pattern writer. :???: :teehee:
Yeah, it was supposed to be a little kooky tounge-in-cheek mispell, but you’re the third person who’s pointed that out. So apparently I’m not as funny as I am in my own head. :teehee:
I’ll change it to “reversibility”. But it’s booooring.
Hey, yeah, I actually figured that you’d let us sell them. I’m so excited about that, and I was kinda making a joke. lol :shrug:
In any case, you rock!
