Forever 50% OFF

It’s going to be three years since I started updating my old patterns to bring them in line with my current standards, and I have now come to realize that some of them will probably never be updated, either because I have gifted the samples and cannot make nice photos, or I simply don’t have enough time, etc.

So I decided to let go of this idea and just allow those earlier patterns to be, well, my earlier patterns reflecting me as a designer at that stage of my professional development.

Instead, I am changing the pricing for those older patterns. They are now 50% less, and this is not a discount, but their permanent price from now on. You can purchase these patterns here, on Ravelry where I have grouped them into a separate bundle.

Happy crocheting!

Barabashki takes its name from shaggy little creatures, the guardians of hearth and home in Slavic folklore. The sound of the name is also very similar to that of other lovely fuzzy creatures “barashki” or “little lambs”.

This design works best with novelty yarns, which often look exciting in skeins but are hard to find the right project for. The traits of the featured novelty yarn and the volume of bobble stitches produce a great fun texture.

Two shapes are included in the pattern: a triangular kerchief and a scarf/stole, both of which can be made to any width/length. The kerchief is worked from the bottom corner up to the top edge. The scarf/stole is finished with triangular ends and allows for easy length/width modifications.

Finished Sizes (using one skein total)

• Kerchief: 42½“ (108cm) wingspan, 10¼” (26cm) height at center
• Scarf: 47¼’’ (120cm) long, 9” (23cm) wide
