Before you start

Skill level: confident beginner throughout — you need to be able to crochet already, but nothing here is advanced
Hook: 3.5 mm (US E/4) throughout, or whatever gives you 22 sc to 10 cm in DK
Total time: about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, if you sat down and made every one
Assembly: every piece is worked in one go, or worked directly onto the piece before it. Nothing is sewn together at the end.
Terms: US crochet terms throughout

You must already know: chain, counting a foundation chain, double crochet. These patterns do not teach you to crochet — they teach you to make these particular objects.

You will need: a stitch marker, a yarn needle for ends, and scissors — each file lists its own on page 1.

The pattern did. The count that will not close Round 14 says 48. You have 46. You count again, three times, and you are right — but you will not know that for another hour. A size run that is one size and a shrug. You wanted a garment that fits and you were handed arithmetic homework. A photograph of something else The picture on the listing was never made from the directions inside it, and the shape you are working toward is not the shape in the image. Every count in these patterns is derived twice, by separate arithmetic that shares no code — and the file will not build unless the two agree. Across the patterns that is rounds, checked both ways, every time anything changes. What you are paying for Four things, and all four are checkable. Featured pattern one-off, yours to keep View this pattern How it works What you actually get for your money. You are buying instructions, not an object. Nothing is posted to you and nothing arrives in a box — the thing you make is made by you. What a page of one of these patterns holds. 1 The size table. On page one, before anything else. For a graded pattern it names every size and what each one finishes at. 2 The stitch count. Printed at the end of every round in bold — how many you should have, not how many to work. 3 The chart. Drawn from the same counts as the written round, so the two cannot disagree. 4 The difficult moments. Named in advance, with what causes each symptom and what to do about it. If you are newer to this How to read a pattern without losing an evening. 01 The number at the end of a round That bold figure is how many stitches you should have once the round is finished — not how many to work. Count them before you move on. 02 Why the marker matters Continuous rounds have no join, so there is no seam to find. Put a marker in the first stitch of the round and move it up every single round, or the count drifts and nothing tells you. 03 When the number disagrees Do not carry on and hope. The fault is almost always in the round you just finished, not in your hands. Stop at the round where the number first disagreed — everything after it is already wrong. The catalogue patterns, in four ranges. pages of directions in total, across coasters, hanging ornaments, no-sew stuffed minis, mug huggers, stacking sets, a join-as-you-go blanket and sized wearables. Sizing Every size, written out in full. Four patterns in the catalogue are graded. In each one, every size below has its own complete set of directions — there is no table of adjustments, and nothing says "work to desired length". Finished measurements are calculated from the stitch counts at the stated yarn weight, not measured from a finished garment. Your gauge will move them. Made by you The first finished pieces will appear here. This shop is new. When makers send photographs of what they have made from these patterns, their work goes here — with their names on it and their permission. Until then there is nothing to show, so nothing is shown. The difference, plainly What is different about these files. Before you buy What these patterns assume, and what they do not claim. Every pattern lists the stitches it assumes you already know. None of them teaches you to crochet — they teach you to make one object. All directions use US crochet terms . Gauge changes finished size. The figures are calculated at 19 sc to 10 cm; work looser and everything comes out larger. Yarn quantities are left blank on purpose. Yardage cannot be calculated reliably from a stitch count — it has to be weighed off a finished piece. Finished size and time are calculated Both figures are derived from the stitch counts at the stated yarn weight and hook. They are not measured from a finished object. Treat them as a guide to what you are committing to, not a promise. No independent physical make has been recorded for these patterns yet. The arithmetic has been checked twice; a human with a hook has not yet worked one start to finish. That is stated here because it is true. Questions Before you decide.

Nothing is posted to you — there is no finished item in this shop. Both. Every purchase includes an A4 file and a US Letter file. You do not choose at checkout and you are not charged twice. Each pattern lists its own prerequisites on page one. Most assume chain, single crochet, increase and decrease, and working in continuous rounds with a marker. None of them teaches you to crochet from scratch — they teach you to make one object. Every size is written out in full, with its own complete directions. There is no adjustment table and nothing says "work to desired length". That is why the graded files run long. They are calculated from the stitch counts at the stated yarn weight — not measured from a finished object. Every one is labelled calculated in the file. Your gauge, your yarn and your hands will move both figures. Yarn quantities are left blank, because yardage cannot be calculated reliably from a stitch count. It has to be weighed off a finished piece, and a wrong figure sends you out for yarn you did not need. Stop at the round where the number first disagreed. Everything after it is already wrong, so working on will not fix it. Each pattern has a section listing what you see, what caused it and what to do — the fault is far more often a miscount than anything in your hands. There is no published returns policy for this shop yet, and one will not be invented here to fill the gap. It will appear on this page when it is written. The arithmetic in all patterns has been derived twice by independent programs that share no code, and the files will not build unless the two agree.

No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - Rnd 8 worked in back loop only — this is what makes the cap read as a separate surface from the stem. - The colour change from cap to stem at Rnd 12. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into.

Used flat they are coasters; stacked on the post they stand up as a pumpkin. Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Orange worsted cotton (CYC 4), small amount green. [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing for the post; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: largest disc about 9 cm (3.7 in) across; stacked, about 8 cm tall Estimated time: about 1.4 hours to 2.3 hours Assembly: Six discs and one post, threaded together. Nothing is sewn. The discs lift off individually for use as coasters. Tricky points: - The chain-8 ring stays open — it is the hole, not a closed centre. This is the one place this pattern differs from every other coaster. - Eight increases per round instead of six, because the disc starts on 16 stitches rather than 6. - Stacking order: large, large, medium, medium, small, small — with the largest pair in the middle of the stack, not at the base. Trouble score: 5 Pieces/sections: Small disc (make 2); Medium disc (make 2); Large disc (make 2); Stem post Rounds/rows count: 35 PDF pages: 6 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working flat in rows; counting a foundation chain Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Rust or gold worsted cotton (CYC 4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors Finished size: about 7 cm (2.7 in) wide and 8 cm (3.1 in) tall Estimated time: about 20 minutes to 30 minutes Assembly: Worked flat in rows, then the stem is worked straight off the last row. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - The lobes: every widening row gains 2 and every narrowing row loses 2, so a lobe is one pair of rows, not one row. - Turning at the end of each row without adding a stitch — the turning chain does not count here. - The centre vein: surface slip stitch worked on top of the finished fabric, from the stem to the tip. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Leaf; Stem Rounds/rows count: 17 PDF pages: 4 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Nothing is sewn. Tricky points: - Five points around a 30-stitch edge: 6 stitches per point exactly. This is the count-heaviest moment in the family. - Placing the stem between two points, not on one. - Keeping the marker moving through the plain round before the points. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Leaf; Stem Rounds/rows count: 8 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working flat in rows; back loop only Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Tan or caramel worsted cotton (CYC 4) for the body, dark brown for the cap. [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors Finished size: about 7 cm (2.7 in) wide and 4 cm (1.4 in) tall Estimated time: about 20 minutes to 35 minutes Assembly: Body, cap and stalk are worked in one continuous piece, each straight onto the last. No pieces are sewn. Tricky points: - The back-loop row at the cap join — worked into the back loop only, which leaves a visible ridge on the front. - Changing colour on the last pull-through of the row before, not at the start of the new row. - The cap is wider than the shoulder it sits on — Row 9 gains 2, which is what makes the cap overhang. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Body; Cap; Stalk Rounds/rows count: 12 PDF pages: 4 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Tan body, dark brown cap DK or worsted (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: about 8 cm (3.0 in) tall Estimated time: about 25 minutes to 45 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece with the hanging loop made first. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - Rnd 10 worked in back loop only — this is the ridge that divides the cap from the body. - The colour change at Rnd 10: cap first, then body. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into.

Nothing is sewn. Tricky points: - Five equal points around a 30-stitch edge. - Not letting the plain round before the points drift off count. - Keeping the marker moving — continuous rounds have no join to find.

No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - The tiers: each tier is a pair of rows that gains 2 then loses 2, and the step you can see is the losing row. - Finding the centre 5 stitches of a 19-stitch row for the trunk — count 7 in from each side. - Turning without adding a stitch at the end of every row. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Tree; Trunk Rounds/rows count: 15 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

[pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors; spray starch or fabric stiffener (optional — see finishing) Finished size: about 6 cm (2.4 in) across Estimated time: about 15 minutes to 20 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece from a chain ring. Nothing is sewn. Tricky points: - Twelve stitches into a chain-6 ring — it is crowded, and that is correct. - Six spokes on Rnd 2 and six arms on Rnd 4, aligned so the arms sit on top of the spokes. - Not pulling the arms tight; a snowflake wants to lie open. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Snowflake Rounds/rows count: 4 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - Spacing the four limbs 7 stitches apart around a 30-stitch edge — count them out before you work the first one. - The head ring: chained from the body edge, so head and body are one piece with no seam. - Keeping the icing lines on the surface, not through the fabric. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Body; Head; Arms and legs (make 4) Rounds/rows count: 10 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; double crochet; counting a foundation chain Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: White, or white with a silver metallic strand held double DK / light worsted (CYC 3). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle for ends; scissors Finished size: about 20 cm (8.0 in) long, hanging Estimated time: about 15 minutes to 25 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - A shorter chain than the other spirals — 39, not 45. An icicle reads as an icicle because it is narrow. - Counting the foundation chain — the only count that cannot be corrected later. - Finding the 4th chain from the hook. - Keeping 3 dc in every chain once the strip begins to twist in your hand. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Spiral Rounds/rows count: 1 PDF pages: 4 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Gold or cream DK or worsted (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: about 5 cm (2.0 in) tall Estimated time: about 20 minutes to 40 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece with the hanging loop made first. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - Rnd 9 in back loop only — the rim ridge. - Stuffing the dome but leaving the mouth open; a bell that is stuffed to the rim loses its shape. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Body Rounds/rows count: 10 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Gold or cream DK or worsted (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: about 5 cm (2.0 in) tall Estimated time: about 20 minutes to 35 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece with the hanging loop made first. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - This one is stuffed flat, not round: press it between your palms as you stuff so it stays a disc. - The five points are pinched and tied after stuffing, not crocheted separately. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Body Rounds/rows count: 10 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: White or cream DK or worsted (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors; 6 mm safety eyes, or black yarn to embroider them; scrap of orange yarn for the nose Finished size: about 9 cm (3.5 in) tall Estimated time: about 25 minutes to 45 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece with the hanging loop made first. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - The neck at Rnd 12: the count drops to 12 and comes straight back to 24. That pinch is the whole snowman. - Stuffing the body before the neck closes, and the head after. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Body Rounds/rows count: 18 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Cream body, red or green hat DK or worsted (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors; scrap of tan yarn for the nose Finished size: about 8 cm (3.3 in) tall Estimated time: about 25 minutes to 45 minutes Assembly: Worked in one piece with the hanging loop made first. No pieces are sewn together. Tricky points: - The slow increase up the hat: three a round, not six. Six would give you a beret. - The colour change at the brim must land on a round boundary or the brim slants. - The nose is worked into the fabric, not sewn on. - Working Rnd 1 into the chain ring, not into the chain stitches. - Moving the marker every round — this is where continuous rounds go wrong silently. - Stuffing before the opening becomes too small to reach into.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; working in continuous rounds; working into a chain space Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Warm brown worsted cotton (CYC 4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; yarn needle; scissors; 15 mm button (optional — see the cuff finishing note); small amount of red yarn for the nose; small amount of dark brown for the antlers Finished size: coaster about 10 cm (4.0 in) across; the cuff fits a standard mug handle Estimated time: about 35 minutes to 55 minutes Assembly: The cuff is worked directly onto the coaster edge. No pieces are sewn together. The antlers and nose are worked onto the coaster; nothing is sewn. Tricky points: - The antlers are chained straight off the coaster edge and slip-stitched back down, so they never need sewing on. - The cuff chain length sets the fit. 18 chains suits a standard mug handle; check against your own mug before fastening off. - Skipping exactly 6 stitches so the cuff sits flat against the coaster. Trouble score: 5 Pieces/sections: Coaster; Handle cuff; Antlers (make 2) Rounds/rows count: 14 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Green worsted cotton (CYC 4), small amount brown for the post. [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing for the post; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: largest disc about 12 cm (4.7 in) across; stacked, about 10 cm tall Estimated time: about 1.9 hours to 3.2 hours Assembly: Seven discs and one post, threaded together. Nothing is sewn. Each disc lifts off for use as a coaster. Tricky points: - Seven discs, each one round bigger than the last. Label them as you finish them — once they are off the hook they are hard to tell apart. - The chain-8 ring stays open; it is the hole, not a closed centre. - Eight increases per round rather than six, because each disc starts on 16 stitches. Trouble score: 5 Pieces/sections: Disc 1 — smallest (top); Disc 2; Disc 3; Disc 4; Disc 5; Disc 6; Disc 7 — largest (base); Trunk post Rounds/rows count: 63 PDF pages: 7 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; working in continuous rounds; using a stitch marker; joining motifs as you go Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: White or cream worsted (CYC 4) for the motifs, a small amount of dark grey or black for the faces. [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: see the size table on page 1 — this design is made to fit Estimated time: 25 minutes to 40 minutes per motif — a baby blanket is 30 motifs and a throw is 63 Assembly: One motif, repeated, joined to its neighbours on its final round. Nothing is sewn together at the end. Tricky points: - Keeping the two corner increases stacked above the corner below. If they wander by one stitch the square turns into a pinwheel, and you will not see it until you try to join two of them. - Joining as you go: the join happens while the last round is being worked, not after. Read the joining round before you start motif number two. - Counting motifs before you start. A throw is 63 squares and it is much easier to know that at the beginning than to find out at the end. Trouble score: 5 Pieces/sections: Ghost motif (the only piece you learn); Joining round (worked on each motif after the first); Border Rounds/rows count: 12 PDF pages: 5 Size table: Size | Motifs | Finished, about Baby | 5 x 6 = 30 | 52 x 63 cm Throw | 7 x 9 = 63 | 74 x 94 cm Large throw | 9 x 11 = 99 | 94 x 116 cm Size note: One motif, made over and over.

[pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; yarn needle; scissors; a tape measure — this is the one project where it matters Finished size: see the size table on page 1 — this design is made to fit Estimated time: about 1 hour to 3.6 hours depending on the size you make Assembly: Worked in one piece from the crown down. No seams, no sewing, nothing to join. Tricky points: - Choosing the size before you start. Measure the head, do not guess from the age — a 3-year-old's head can be an adult's. - Stopping the increases at the right round. One round too many and the hat is a bowl; one too few and it will not go on. - The four back-loop rounds at the brim — the ridge is deliberate and it is what lets the brim be turned up. Trouble score: 4 Pieces/sections: Baby (0–6 months) — head circumference 36 cm; Toddler (1–3 years) — head circumference 44 cm; Child (4–10 years) — head circumference 48 cm; Teen — head circumference 53 cm; Adult — head circumference 56 cm Rounds/rows count: 172 PDF pages: 8 Size table: Size | Head circumference | Crown grows to | Depth Baby (0–6 months) | 36 cm | 60 sts | 14 plain rounds Toddler (1–3 years) | 44 cm | 78 sts | 16 plain rounds Child (4–10 years) | 48 cm | 84 sts | 17 plain rounds Teen | 53 cm | 90 sts | 18 plain rounds Adult | 56 cm | 96 sts | 19 plain rounds Size note: Measure the head and pick from the middle column.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; back loop only; working flat in rows Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Worsted or aran (CYC 4–5). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors Finished size: see the size table on page 1 — this design is made to fit Estimated time: 2.4 hours to 4 hours for the cowl, 3.9 hours to 6.6 hours for the scarf Assembly: The scarf is one piece with no joins. The cowl is the same piece with its two ends slip-stitched together. Tricky points: - The foundation chain sets the WIDTH, not the length. This catches almost everyone the first time. - Working every row in back loop only — the front loops left behind are what make the ribs. - Not adding a stitch at the turn. The count is 38 on every single row, from the first to the last. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Scarf — 20 cm wide, 165 cm long; Cowl — the same rows, joined into a loop Rounds/rows count: 238 PDF pages: 5 Size table: Finish | Rows | Finished, about Scarf | 150 | 20 cm wide, 165 cm long Cowl | 88 | 20 cm wide, 97 cm around Size note: The same fabric, worked to two different lengths.

Prerequisites: chain; double crochet; working into a chain space; the traditional granny square Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: DK or light worsted cotton (CYC 3–4). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors; tape measure Finished size: see the size table on page 1 — this design is made to fit Estimated time: about 1.4 hours to 4.4 hours depending on the size you make Assembly: Two identical squares, joined at the shoulders and up the sides. There is no shaping and no set-in sleeve. Tricky points: - Two squares of exactly the same round count. A difference of one round is about 2 cm, and it shows at the side seam. - Deciding the neck opening before joining the shoulders — a third of the shoulder edge open in the middle is a good starting point, and it cannot be made smaller afterwards. - Where the side seam stops. That point is the armhole, and it is the one measurement worth checking against a top you already own. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Size XS — square (make 2), finished bust about 82 cm; Size S — square (make 2), finished bust about 88 cm; Size M — square (make 2), finished bust about 94 cm; Size L — square (make 2), finished bust about 102 cm; Size XL — square (make 2), finished bust about 110 cm; Size 2X — square (make 2), finished bust about 118 cm; Joining (all sizes) Rounds/rows count: 153 PDF pages: 11 Size table: Size | Finished bust | Granny rounds per square XS | 82 cm | 21 S | 88 cm | 22 M | 94 cm | 24 L | 102 cm | 26 XL | 110 cm | 28 2X | 118 cm | 30 Size note: Two squares make the whole top, so the size run is a run of square sizes and nothing else changes.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; back loop only; working flat in rows; joining two edges with sc Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Worsted or aran (CYC 4–5). [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: yarn needle; scissors; tape measure; stitch markers to hold the seams while you join Finished size: see the size table on page 1 — this design is made to fit Estimated time: about 7.4 hours to 18.5 hours depending on the size you make Assembly: Three rectangles, joined at the shoulders and sides with single crochet. No shaping, no set-in sleeves, no buttonholes. Tricky points: - Three rectangles, all the same length. Count rows; do not measure against each other, because a panel stretches while you hold it. - Where the side seam stops. That is the armhole, and 22 cm below the shoulder suits most people — check it against a cardigan you own. - Keeping the back-loop ribbing running the same way on all three panels, so the fabric matches across the seams. Trouble score: 3 Pieces/sections: Size XS — back panel (87 sts wide); Size XS — front panel (make 2, 44 sts wide); Size S — back panel (93 sts wide); Size S — front panel (make 2, 46 sts wide); Size M — back panel (99 sts wide); Size M — front panel (make 2, 50 sts wide); Size L — back panel (106 sts wide); Size L — front panel (make 2, 53 sts wide); Size XL — back panel (114 sts wide); Size XL — front panel (make 2, 57 sts wide); Size 2X — back panel (122 sts wide); Size 2X — front panel (make 2, 61 sts wide); Joining (all sizes) Rounds/rows count: 770 PDF pages: 7 Size table: Size | Finished bust | Back panel | Each front XS | 82 cm | 87 sts | 44 sts S | 88 cm | 93 sts | 46 sts M | 94 cm | 99 sts | 50 sts L | 102 cm | 106 sts | 53 sts XL | 110 cm | 114 sts | 57 sts 2X | 118 cm | 122 sts | 61 sts Size note: Three rectangles. The size changes their width; the row count changes only between the two length groups.

Prerequisites: chain; single crochet; increase; sc2tog; working in continuous rounds; back loop only Terms: US crochet terms throughout. Yarn: Red worsted (CYC 4) for the wall, cream for the base, scraps of white for the spots. [pending — weighed from the finished sample] Hook: [pending — hook confirmed at prototype] Notions: stitch marker; toy stuffing; yarn needle; scissors Finished size: calculated size not available for this family Estimated time: about 45 minutes to 1.2 hours Assembly: Base, wall and lip are worked in one continuous piece, each straight onto the last. Nothing is sewn. Tricky points: - The back-loop round where the base turns up into the wall. Work it through both loops by mistake and the stand has no fold to stand on. - Stuffing the wall firmly enough. This is the difference between a stand and a slump, and it is the one thing a photograph cannot show you. - The lip is worked across the front 20 stitches only — not around. Trouble score: 5 Pieces/sections: Base; Wall; Lip Rounds/rows count: 21 PDF pages: 5 Sizing/time basis: Size and time are CALCULATED from the stitch counts in this pattern at the stated yarn weight and gauge — not measured from a finished object. Your gauge, your yarn and your hand will move both figures. Treat them as a guide to what you are committing to, not a promise.
