4. Cast Iron Pot Holders Free Pattern!
Fave Fave Pattern number 4 is the Cast Iron Pot Holders Pattern! I love that so many of y’all use cast iron pans for cooking too! I have been using them for as long as I can remember and absoutely love them! They do get hot though, and my husband kept burning our other handle covers that had a large opening and hung down near the burner! So frustrating and dangerous! So I was determined to create a cover that fit the handle perfectly and protected the user’s hands too! Of couse we need a pot holder for the other side too, so this wonderful set was born and we are still using them to this day with ZERO burns I am thrilled to report! Find the pattern here!

Fan Fave Pattern number 3 is the DC Dice Bag and Tray. I’ve honestly been blown away by how much love this pattern has gotten! I created this dice bag as a simple way to store our many dice games and for my oldest son’s D&D dice, and wanted a way that my wild kids could shake dice without them flying off the table every. single. roll. 🙄 You know what I’m talking about! This pattern is quick, easy, and very popular! It comes with 2 sizes because sometimes you need a larger rolling area, and sometimes you need to take up less real estate on the table! We use ours all the time and I am so thrilled that y’all find this pattern as useful as we do! Find the pattern here!
2. FUN Freeze Pop Holders Free Pattern
Fan Fave Pattern number 2 is the FUN Freeze Pop Holders! Honestly this is one of the most fun patterns I have created and they were a huge hit with my kids. So now you know where the name came from! These were inspired by my kids near continual consuption of ice pops during the summer, and they would grab a napkin or a crocheted dish cloth to hold them and then leave it where it lay outside or wherever! So I had to step in and create a freeze pop holder pattern, of course! And why not make their fave animals while I was at it? So this FUN pattern includes instructions to create a giraffe, dinosaur, unicorn, shark, mermaid, and clownfish freeze pop holder! Find the pattern here!
1. Tiny Dinosaur Amigurumi Free Pattern
Fan Fave Pattern number 1 is the Tiny Dino Amigurumi! What’s not to love? He’s a giant made in miniature, he’s adorable and fun to play with, and quick and easy to make! I’ve always had a fascination with dinosaurs, and I LOVE that some of your Tiny Dino projects on Ravelry have made mods like adding plates or wings to turn this cutie into one of my other fave creatures – a dragon!

Creating a pattern that acts as a catalyst and inspires people to get creative and really make it their own or even something new, that’s what!
