Top 10 Patterns of 2022
I had a blast writing up the best of posts for the last couple years, so now this is “officially” an annual thing and also taking this as an opportunity to better server you (my fabulous hookers) by taking stock of what y’all loved best last year. No need to thank me… 😜 The Top Patterns of 2022 that y’all gave the most love to – in the form of visits! Thanks to you, my amazing yarn loving readers! Let’s take a little stroll down memory lane (there’s yarn!) and revisit the favorites of the year past and maybe find some new favorites too!Â
And I have also included the Top 5 Fan Fave patterns of 2022 at the end of the post! These patterns are the ones that were written and published prior to 2022 that continue to be favorites with y’all, year after year in fact! To be fair, these patterns may be a bit spoiled and full of themselves, but I mean can we really blame them?? So make sure you read until the end so you don’t miss out on the Fan Faves at the end of the post and they don’t get jealous either! I’m not sure I can deal with that today! 😆 😉

Fan Fave Pattern number 4 is the DC Dice Bag and Tray. This quick and easy pattern moved down 2 spots from #2 last year, but still made the top 5! I’ve been blown away by how much love this simple pattern has gotten! Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best, ykwim? I created this dice bag as a simple way to store our many dice games and for my oldest son’s D&D dice. Most importantly, I wanted a way that my wild kiddos could roll the dice without them flying off the table every. single. roll. 🙄 You know what I’m talking about! This pattern is not only quick and easybut 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!
