While wrapped up in the NFL playoffs and her beloved Patriots, Maureen was also mulling over this wrap pattern. It all came together for her, if not her team, so she decided to name it after the Patriots’ stadium. Enjoy the short row shaping, the lacy insert, the unusual edging and the luscious yarn!

This cozy, warm afghan was inspired by the corduroy color block quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. Vary the colors and sizes of the blocks to suit your own personal style and yarn supply. Working in bold colors and single crochet throughout makes the afghan fun and quick to create

Designed by Cap Sease to celebrate the birth of her grandniece Tekle.
The alternating blocks of Shaker Rib and Garter Stitch create a rich texture that will show to advantage indoors and out. By adding or removing blocks, you increase or decrease the dimensions of the blanket.

This addendum to the Ascutney Mountain Hat & Earwarmer pattern is inspired by our Vermont mud season. Harvesting Vermont maple syrup requires a great deal of walking in the woods and extra layers can help keep the early spring chill at bay. If you’d like a pop of color to dress up your “wellies” or if your chores have you wading out into knee-high drifts of snow, you’ll love these boot toppers.
