Ribbed Bag of Many Things

The Ribbed Bag of Many Things came about as something I made up for my roommate to put her headphones and mp3 player in, but it could be used to hold just about anything — dice, pencils, and more!

Tributary Hat

The Tributary Hat was originally designed for a friend of mine who wears winter caps over visors and baseball caps, so I wanted a hat design that had enough positive ease to accommodate that. After some experimentation, this hat was born!

This free hat pattern can be found in Knotions Magazine

Diamonds and Lace Scarf

This lace scarf is made from less then 350 yards of worsted-weight yarn. It's perfect to use up those orphan one or two skeins that are left over after making a sweater!

Available exclusively to Patrons of Sarah Dawn’s Designs

Marianna Shawl

The design for this large square shawl came about after exploring the beautiful Stitch Patterns of Gannet Designs. They seemed the perfect stitch patterns for the mesh lace of a larger shawl.

The shawl is knit in the round from centre out. The edging is knit flat and joined to the shawl as you work.

Necessity of Innovation Legwarmers

These legwarmers came about because “Necessity is the Mother of Invention!” And, because I wanted legwarmers I could remove without taking off my boots. These lace and cable leggings are knit flat, and then fasten up the side of the leg with either buttons or a zipper -- directions for both are included!

They’re available in 7 adult sizes!

Spiralling Star Fingerless Mittens

The idea for the Spiralling Star Fingerless Mittens came from an online knit-along which challenged participants to create something using the Star Stitch pattern. While swatching, I found a particular version of the Star Stitch that created a spiral effect, and these mittens were born from that!

These fingerless mittens are worked from the cuff-up in the round, with the Star Stitch pattern continuing onto the thumb gusset. The top cuff, bottom cuff, and thumb are edged with 1 by 1 ribbing.

Statement Cable Scarf

The Statement Scarf was developed to be a quick-knit project with Malabrigo Mecha -- a glorious, squishy, garter-stitch scarf with one central cable to make a statement! (Link above is an affiliate link, meaning I get a commission if you make a purchase - there's no extra cost to you!)

The scarf is worked flat with bulky yarn, making it a perfect project for a beginner who wants to branch into cables! It uses mostly garter stitch, with a cable pattern on a background of reverse stocking stitch. The cable instructions are both charted and written. It is written for one size (which uses almost exactly two skeins of Malabrigo Mecha!) but is easily adjustable to the amount of yarn you have.

Chevron Stitch Hood and Scarf

This hood pattern started with the fact that I wanted a hood and scarf that even a newcomer to crochet could make! It was inspired by this beautiful but, simple, crochet lace stitch pattern.

By adding some seaming to make a hood, a beautiful, unique accessory is created that even a beginner can make!

Cosmic Crochet Cowl

This cowl came out of a desire to find a crochet stitch pattern suitable for a skein of variegated yarn! Often, variegated yarn can turn into an ugly mess of colours, and I wanted to avoid that, so after much experimentation, the Cosmic Crochet Cowl was born!

Pattern is in US terminology.

This cowl is available in five different lengths, each adjustable to the amount of yarn you have.
