Welcome to Project 3 of the Gift Along!

Hey, hey, Gift-Along Crew! Are you ready for Project 3? Project 3 is only a 1-weeker, so the two lovely, gift-able patterns can be completed fairly quickly. At this point, you might have already completed Projects 1 (Wizard School Spirit Beanies) and 2 (Fingerless Gloves or Mittens), and will be ready to add a third to your gift pile!

And, as a bonus just for us Gift-Alongers, you can snag the pattern for only $0.99 (that’s a savings of $3!) Just enter the code SAGECALDISCO in her Ravelry shop! Get the pattern here.

Welcome to Project 2 of the Gift Along!

Hey there, Gift-alongers! I’m so happy you are crocheting or knitting along with us for the 2019 Fandom GAL. At this point, you may have already made Project 1, which was a quick Wizard School Spirit Beanie.

For Project 2, we are making some truly stunning handwear. (Yep, I’m going to pretend “handwear” is a thing.) The two patterns are equally beautiful in their own ways, and I’m super thrilled to make and gift these this year! We will spend two weeks making these, as mittens or fingerless gloves can take a little time, especially if you are newer to making handwear.

The crochet pattern is Celtic Weave Fingerless Gloves by Laura Diaz. This one is a free pattern over on her blog. Get the pattern here.

The knitting pattern is Bella’s Mittens by Marielle Henault. This one is also free, and you can snag it on Ravelry. Get the pattern here.

Welcome to the 2019 Fandom Knitting + Crochet Gift-Along!

I’m so happy you are here to knit and crochet along with me and a group of fantastic yarny friends! This is going to be a long journey, and it all starts right here with a delightful little stash-buster, the Wizard School Spirit Beanie.

What’s great about this pattern is that it is available as a knit or crochet pattern (the crochet version is a little slouchier than the knit, however), and you can customize the colors to suit your Hogwarts house, the gift recipient’s Hogwarts house, or even sports team colors. There are no rules here – so go crazy!

There are also instructions written up for 5 different sizes, so no matter the gift recipient’s age, there is a beanie for that person.

These patterns are both my designs, and they are free on the Fandom Knitting + Crochet blog. If you want to support me and the blog by purchasing the PDF download, you can do so for a low cost at the links to my Etsy shop. Totally not necessary – but if you do get the download, you’ll have a nice printer-friendly PDF that is easy to take with you and follow along.

Crochet Pattern: Madame Mermaid Scarf

Mermaid Scarf Tutorial – Crocodile Stitch Scales and Shell Stitch Pattern

Crochet Pattern for Mermaid Scarf

Whether you long to be under the sea or wandering free on land, mermaid fans of all ages will love this scales and shells crochet scarf!

*This post contains affiliate links.  All opinions are my own. For more information on this, please see my policies page.

Design Inspiration: Mermaid Sea Princess

Crochet Mermaid Scarf Pattern

Mermaids are the coolest. This scarf pattern came about through a desire to create something a little more “literal” as a fandom creation. My take on fandom designing is typically very loosely connected to a fandom. This time, I wanted to really go for it in an obvious way. So, here is Madame Mermaid, a crocodile stitch scale and shell stitch scarf in two lovely ombre shades of mermaid tail green-ish and purple for the shells. This is (I think) a clearly mermaid-inspired look.

I have to say, this was a really fun one to make. I love the colors and the texture (soooo much texture). Two words of warning – this is a yarn eater pattern and the crocodile stitch can be confusing at first. But all things consider, this is a fairly quick and easy make once you get the crocodile stitch down.

I did make a video tutorial for completing the crocodile stitch, walking through exactly how I did it, which is included with the pattern.

The Pattern

Madame Mermaid is made with worsted-weight (aka #4 or medium weight) yarn. I used two colors of ombre yarn – the specific brand and colorways are listed on the PDF.

At this time, Madame Mermaid is not available as a free pattern on the blog. When a pattern takes as much time, work, testing and so forth, I ask a small fee for the download of the pattern. I truly appreciate your understanding about this policy. 🙂 I do have plenty of free patterns available in the Crochet Patterns section of the blog.

Crochet Pocket Cup Cozy

Crochet a coffee cup sleeve with a gift card holder (or tea bag) pocket.

Crochet Cup Cozy with Pocket
A Crochet Pattern by Jeris from Fandom Knitting + Crochet

Crochet a quick and easy cup cozy with a handy pocket to stash a gift card or tea bag for the perfect gift.

Gift Card Holder Coffee Cozy Crochet Pattern

If you know me, you know I am all about the coffee. Because I love coffee, and I love giving gifts, and, of course, I love crocheting, I make a lot of coffee cozies to gift to people – my sons’ teachers, hostesses, random people on the gift list.

I decided to make a whole little gift of it by purchasing a reusable Starbucks cup, putting the crochet sleeve on there, and giving a gift card. And that’s where the idea came for making a little pocket on the sleeve to hold the gift card. It could also be used to hold a tea bag for a non-coffee drinker, or really anything roughly card sized.

So, next time you need to stock up for a craft fair or just want to have a few quick gifts handy that anyone will love, crochet the perfect gift – a gift card holder cup sleeve! This is an easy crochet pattern great for beginners.

What you’ll find here is the crochet pattern that includes FREE written instructions right here on the blog.  There is also the option to get a printable version, which is a PDF Download formatted for printing with large print instructions. It is available for a very small fee, which you can get right here.

Download the Pocket Cup Cozy here.

Gift Card Holder Cup Sleeve Crochet Pattern
Pattern for the Crochet Gift Card Holder Cup Cozy

For this pattern, you’ll use medium weight yarn (#4 weight). I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Silver Heather. You’ll need size G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook and a yarn needle for seaming and sewing in loose ends.

This pattern is worked flat as a rectangle and seamed along the back.

Download the Printable PDF: Pocket Cup Cozy Pattern.
Easy Crochet Patterns

Materials:

  • Medium weight (#4) yarn (less than 100 yds)
    G-6 (4 mm) crochet hook
    Yarn needle

Gauge:

Approximately 15 stitches and 13 rows = 4″

abbreviations:

  • ch = chain
    hdc = half double crochet
    st = stitch

Pattern:

Ch 15. Hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each across. (14 hdc)

Ch 2. Turn. Hdc in each hdc across. (14 hdc)

Repeat the last row until the piece measures approximately 8″ from the chain row or until it stretches to fit snugly around your cup.

Fasten off.

Sew the back seam.  For seaming instructions, check out my YouTube tutorial here.

Weave in loose ends.

For the Pocket:

Chain 10 sts.

Hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each across. (9 hdc)

Ch 2. Turn. Hdc in each hdc across. (9 hdc)

Repeat the last row 6 more times or until pocket is desired length.

Fasten off.

Sew the pocket onto the cup cozy in desired spot. I used whipstitch, which worked really well. Here is a tutorial for whipstitch.

*TIP – ensure that you place the pocket where the gift card or tea bag will fit nicely on the cup. Also, consider pinning the pocket in place while sewing the three sides with whipstitch. That will help keep the pocket even as you sew.

Weave in loose ends.

Ta-da! That’s it. You can then stuff the pocket with a gift card or tea bag and even give a reusable to-go cup with it for a delightful, easy gift.

Timeless Tale Beanie – Knitting Pattern

Knit pattern for the Timeless Tale Beanie hat.

Knit pattern for Timeless Tale Beanie Hat
A Crochet Pattern by Jeris from Fandom Knitting + Crochet

Knit a modern, textured beanie hat with the Timeless Tale Beanie Knitting Pattern.

*This post may contain affiliate links.  See my full disclosure policy here.  

A Modern Twist on a Classic Hat Knitting Pattern

Timeless Tale is the “sister” pattern to the Chapter Three Beanie, a crochet pattern that I designed with loose inspiration from a memorable ball gown worn by one of my favorite fairy tale movie characters from when I was young.

When designing the knit version, I went with a different color, just as vibrant, and spaced the scallop “ridges” a little differently, as well. The result is a modern update of a classic standard hat: a just-a-tiny-bit slouchy, textured, interesting beanie.

What you’ll find here is a knit beanie hat pattern that includes FREE written instructions right here on the blog.  There is also the option to get a printable version, which is a PDF Download formatted for printing that also includes a chart for the stitch pattern. It is available for a very small fee, which you can get right here.

Pattern for Timeless Tale Beanie Hat

For this pattern, you’ll use medium weight yarn (#4 weight). I used Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice in Colonial Blue, and the whole skein, more-or-less, was gone, which is about 170 yds. For needles, I worked the brim ribbing with Size 6 16-inch circular knitting needles, the main hat body with Size 9 16-inch circular knitting needles, and finished off with a set of 5 Size 8 double-pointed knitting needles.

This pattern is worked in the round. The body of the hat has a 10-stitch stitch pattern that repeats.
