FIRST Pattern Roundup of 2024!

By Michelle -

Back in November, I started this, uh, unique theme, which I continued into December, and I am continuing now. Also, I hope you enjoy this extra eye-jarring banner I made. I think my banners are getting uglier and uglier. It's part of my brand.

If you're new here, the theme is...I AM GOING THROUGH MY BOOKMARKS and deleting dead links and sharing the undead links with everyone else! Undead? Live, I mean. The LIVE links. It's a mix of knit and crochet since I do both and for years and years I've just been saving things in a folder called PATTERNS. Last month there were no knitting patterns that cropped up. lol

All of the included images belong to the linked pages unless I have miraculously made the thing then I include a photo of mine, and I'll tell you so.

Happy 2024, now let's get started with this month's roundup! Yee haw!

Crochet Fox Patterns

FREE and Paid Rounded up by Moogly 

 
Well, it looks like the first entry of this roundup is another roundup, so this is a nesting doll roundup. I like foxes. There have been several foxes that turned up already in this pattern extravaganza and here are even more. I compulsively bookmark fox patterns. Moogly did the work for me here and this roundup has the patterns grouped by free and paid. My favorite is the Fox Scarf, I think (though that hat/scarf/scat is pretty nice too), which is the first paid pattern, about halfway down the page. Anyway, peruse these patterns! I have not made a single one of them and I am saving this bookmark because maybe one day, amirite?

Crochet Jellyfish

 FREE Pattern by One Dog Woof
 
 
One Dog Woof has a lot of good stuff worth checking out! There's both crochet and knitting there and I'm sure this site is going to come up again during this riveting pattern roundup series. Anywho, this is an easy little jellyfish and I DID make one, BUT I did a teeny version with shorter tentacles, so I changed it up a good bit. See mine below.
Mine is pretty cute, huh? There is nothing at all wrong with the pattern how it was written, I just had other needs. If you've been around a while, you know that I am highly inclined to tweak patterns a little bit here and there to suit my purposes. Go make yourself a heckin' cute little jelly.

Mermaid Tail Afghan

FREE Tutorial (in 3 sizes) by YARNutopia 

 
These things were all the rage for a while, back in like 2014 or so? I don't remember. Time isn't real. I did, in fact, make one. I cannot, in fact, find any pictures of it. I think I only used this pattern for the tail because the body of the one I made was crocodile stitch. I have an extreme love/hate relationship with crocodile stitch. I don't even want to talk about it because I'm having flashbacks to the horrible experience of doing crocodile stitch for an adult-sized one of these. It's not for the faint of heart. Godspeed to anyone that does it.

Easy Crochet Pullover

FREE Pattern from Cactus & Lace
 

Ok, so, it's looking like this roundup is all crochet again. I have been crocheting for substantially longer than I've been knitting so I've been bookmarking crochet patterns for a long time and just transferring my bookmarks to new browsers, etc. etc. technology. I have no made one of these, but I've got a lot of yarn I'm not 100% sure what to do with so it might just happen. I will make a hilariously ugly sweater with mismatched variegated yarn. There is also a paid PDF version of this pattern here. I'll probably change how the hood is done because (see above), I am incapable of following directions 100%. This is a me problem not a pattern problem.

Five Cable Knits

FREE Knitting Patterns from Howdidyoumakethis.com
 

Surprise! Some knitting found it's way in here this month! This is the handy website I used to learn how to knit cables. My favorite cable, the staghorn, isn't included here, but this is a great place to learn what I think are the five basics: twist, uneven twist, braid, four-strand plait, and six-strand plait. I love cables and cabling, and I need to do cable knitting more often and maybe I will add that to my 2024 to-do list right now. Who wants some sort of bananas combination of cryptid colorwork and cable knitting???

This is a lot of patterns each month if you count all of the patterns in the roundup within this roundup. lol

Happy crafting, y'all. I'm having a good time sharing my bookmarks with you, internet!

And, of course, I have to plug myself in these posts, so...I offer some pretty cool, very cheap, monthly knit AND crochet pattern subscriptions on my Ko-Fi where you can also check out my pattern shop (there are lots of exclusive patterns there as well as the PDF versions of lots of my free patterns)! If you want to take a look at my current physical inventory and check my commission status then hop on over to Etsy! Follow me on Facebook for the latest updates!

FREE Crochet Pattern - The Fox Plush from The Little Prince

UPDATE 2/8/23: Formatting got weird when I change my blog theme and I have now fixed it!     UPDATED: 10/3/22, for clarity!   You can now get a printable PDF version of this as a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pattern on my Ko-Fi here .     The finished Fox is about 23" from nose to tail. My gauge was approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 rows/inch and I chose to stuff the body and tail rather loosely, legs a bit more firm, but it's up to you. I like a floppy Fox. In The Little Prince (the Netflix movie version), Plushy Fox has orange ears with white inside and the black just around the edge. I chose to make my original Foxes (pictured to the right) with just black ears for silly aesthetic reasons, but you can easily sub in your orange for the backs of your Fox's ears. The new Fox I made had movie-accurate ears (below).   If you're not a crafty-type person, you stumbled across this pattern, and you want a Fox, don't hesitate to message me via Facebook . I'm pretty friendly and

My Friend Wilby FREE Crochet Pattern from Starfield!

  UPDATE 9/21/23: Bethesda rolled out an inferior Wilby pattern the other day, if you didn't know. If you'd like to compare it to my version, which is larger (I was shooting for accurate game size) then you can get that pattern here . I have been playing a great deal of Starfield. I am constantly encumbered by toys and potted plants. It's fine. Give me some pew-pew weapons, a spaceship, and let me collect cute plushies and plants for hours on end, which I'm piling in the middle of The Frontier because my cargo hold and captain's storage are full. Everything is full. Piles are the answer. Also, organs. Oh, my God. My dilemma with how to offload organs. Not the instrument, my dudes, I'm talking internal ones, which I steal. Anywho! Free pattern! Because I am nice and also Bethesda loves the copyright police when fans of their games want to make a few dollarbucks. It is what it is. Just like my in-game hoarding. You can though get a pay-what-you-want PDF version fr

Schmanley Cup FREE Crochet Pattern To Make A Very Obvious Knock-Off Non-Functional Stanley Cup

This is mostly a joke pattern…or is it??? I whipped it up pretty quick because I thought it was funny, so if you want to expand upon or improve the pattern then by all means do so! Then share it with me because it will make me lol. You can tag my Facebook page or Instagram @michiarr ! I love seeing stuff people make with my dumb patterns! IMPORTANT: This cup will not keep your drinks hot nor cold. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not put any liquids in this tumbler. The straw doesn’t work, and the lid doesn’t even come off. I mean, you could make the lid so it does come off if you want to, but still don’t put any liquids in this, please. Materials and Supplies ·          Worsted weight yarn in desired cup color, plus some gray, and some white      o    YARDAGE: less than 300 yards of each, way less than 300 of the gray and white ·          Stuffing material ·          Size G crochet hook ·          Yarn needle ·          Pins (optional, but recommended for po
