With Christmas Holidays around the corner, winter starting to creep around the edges of Fall, I’m feeling the need to find ways to get cosy and hunker down for winter. Some of my favourite winter treats to indulge in are: hot chocolate, sleeping under a down comforter, sticking oranges full of cloves… and pulling my crozier pair of slippers out of the closet.

With these thoughts in mind, I’ve decided that my next crochet project will be a pair of cosy slipper boots.
I found a great pattern in one of the books on my bookshelf at work and I can’t wait to give it a try. Anyone want to try it along with me?



If you do click below to download the project for free… and stop back here afterwards and post pictures! I’ll do the same…

Step by Step guide how to work the herringbone stitch, a great, textured stitch for interior projects.

1. Let's get ready to knit the herringbone stitch! Start off by simply knitting 1 stitch.


2. Then slip 1 stitch knit-wise.


3. Knit 1 stitch.


4. Next, insert the left needle into the slipped stitch.


5. Lift it over the knitted stitch, but do not drop it off the left needle.


6. Insert the right needle into the slipped stitch from right to left.


7. Wrap the yarn, pull it through and complete the stitch as for a regular stitch. Repeat steps 2-7 for the rest of the row.


8. Row 2 (wrong side): Purl 2 stitches together, but don't slip them off the left needle.


9. Purl into the first stitch on the left needle again.


10. Slip both stitches off the left needle.


11. Repeat steps 8-10 for the rest of this row. Then repeat these 2 rows to keep working in herringbone stitch. The wrong side is bumpy, while the right side has a great zigzag texture.


Use the herringbone stitch for projects such as the Koselig Blanket. Have fun knitting!
