I’ve been working on my website. I hope it is easy for you to navigate now. The Available Free Patterns page has been completely revamped. Right now, over 80 patterns are linked. Simply scroll down and click on whichever one you want to make.
I also updated the Exclusive Patterns page. If you get my mailing list you will get a code periodically for the exclusive pattern. Every once in a while I’ll provide all the previous codes. You should join my mailing list so you don’t miss any codes.
A donation button has been added. If you like my patterns and would like to give me a couple of bucks to use on yarn, I’d appreciate it.
Now onto new stuff. I’ve been working on my jewelry. The dragonscale bracelet took most of the summer. I did find new John Lennon Stamps which meant new resin necklaces. So excited!!. Finally, I dusted off my metal stamping block and stamps to make these fun Ohio necklaces. (Not shown are the 6 Ohios that I couldn’t get to work). Trial and error were big on these.
Now for the Free Pattern. Halloween is one of my favorite scary movies. Michael Myers is the best. Here is a free crochet pattern for a mini Michael Myers. If you make him, use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it.
Let me know what you think.
Materials

I love this yarn in Brown
I love this yarn in White

Abbreviations
SC – Single Crochet
Ch- Chain
INC – SC 2 stitches into same stitch
DEC – SC two stitches together
BLO – Back loops only
FLO – Front Loops only
Gauge – Gauge is not important for this project, but if you are making it from the kit, you should use the right size needle to ensure you don’t run out of yarn.
Notes:
Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.
The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.
I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.
Crochet section is worked in partly in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.
