This Friday yet another awesome superhero movie of this summer comes out, The Dark Knight Rises, and you know I’m here to make an equally awesome pattern to commemorate it!

In three weeks my girlfriend and I will be moving up to San Francisco, where I hear it gets a bit cold. I had some extra yarn and decided I’d make her a warm gift. It’s super easy to make so I decided to share with you guys the pattern of how to make a nice simple button infinity scarf.
By the way, this is my cousin, whom you may recognize
Ch 102 (or to desired length) Rnd 1: Skip first two ch’s, dc 100, turn (100) Rnd 2: ch 2, skip ch’s, in back stitches only dc 100, turn (100) Rnd 3: Repeat Rnd 4: Repeat Rnd 5: Repeat Cut and tie off, sew in ends. Sew on two (or more) 1 1/4″ buttons to one side of the scarf. The buttons should fit perfectly between the dc bars while still holding in securely.
That’s it!! See how easy that is? Took me about an hour to finish and about one whole ball of the yarn.
Check back soon because I may begin selling these depending on how much people like it! Let me know!!

So last weekend The Avengers hit theaters and it was awesome!! I’m used to be really big into comics when I was younger, my favorite of which were the Fantastic Four. I thought Mr. Fantastic was just the coolest super hero and his brains mixed with his abilities made him the most awesome of superheros. But alas, the movies sucked haha.
Anyhow, I saw The Avengers last weekend and it was just so good. Later, while browsing through Etsy I stumbled upon a shop called Nerdifacts. They make the coolest fingerless gloves to mimic super hero gauntlets. I thought they were pretty cool, so I made my own version of one of her pairs, Iron Mans. Not only did I make a pair for my cousin, but I decided to share the pattern for all of you guys! This way you can make yourself a pair to prepare for your next viewing of The Avengers! Download at bottom of the page or here.
Here are some photos of the final product…
This was my best “kick bad guy ass” pose, haha.
Again, the credit for the idea of these Iron Man Gauntlets goes to Nerdifacts, check out their shop here. You can see a bunch of different ideas for different versions of the fingerless gloves there too.
——————————————————————————————————————————
So here’s the pattern for download, and don’t forget, this pattern may be for Iron Man Gloves, but it includes instructions for making my version of Fingerless Mittens as-well.
Finally, a new FREE pattern for you guys, and I made it into a cool, fancy PDF too!
So I was bored one day and wanted to make a bow tie, I looked all over for patterns on making one, but all I could find were patterns for pre-tied bow ties, and where’s the fun in that! So I made my own :). I thought, well since there aren’t any I could find, I might as well post one. You can buy one of these bow ties too, right here.
Here are some photos, scroll down to view and download the pattern.
Don’t forget to add this pattern to your favorites on Ravelry and Craftsy, pin-it and share it on Facebook too!!
Don’t forget, you can buy one of these bow ties too! HERE
Here’s the dealio, I want to be able to give all my patterns for free, and I would if I could, but I can’t. I can’t because it takes lots of time to make them and make sure it looks pretty, and I’m a student and don’t make a lot of money as it is, so here’s my idea, if you like this pattern please hit the button to the top right to donate a little something; you don’t have to (obviously) but it would mean a lot to me and show me that people do want more patterns.
Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know, there’s a new item to the Etsy page today! In fact, its the first pattern up for sale! Allow me to introduce you to the Crocheted Rosie the Riveter WWII Headband Pattern, only $3! Buy the pattern here!
You can also buy one of these bad boys in Navy Blue, Royal Red, or Sea-foam Green Here.
