My name is Kimberly but my friends call me Spirit. I absolutely love to crochet seeing ideas come to something beautiful. I am a single mother and also in the US Army full time. I started crocheting when I was pregnant with my now 16 year old daughter. I just loved the thought of making her things with my own hands. I had put it aside for several years but now back at it with a passion. I truly missed it. I hope you enjoy my page as much as I am enjoying creating it.
The pattern is created from left to right. The 1st Chain 1 or 2 is not counted as a stitch. The pattern can be adjusted height wise by increasing or decreasing the initial Foundation Single Crochet by two. As written the headband will measure 5 ½ by 21 inches.
Spring isn’t quite here but it’s time to get started on these spring and summer projects if you haven’t already. I love Spring. It’s a symbolism of new growth and beginnings.
The list of designs is no particular order. They are just a few of my top favorites from some awesome innovative designers.
First up is the Split Ruffled Sleeve Crop Top designed by Kathy at What About Yarn. This top is super cute and definitely on my to do list. I love the way ruffles make a top even more feminine.

Here is the Matriarch Jacket. This balloon sleeve jacket was designed by the talented Swedish designer Moa P Blomqvist of Honse Designs. The pattern is in English using US terminology.
Check out this Luxury Crochet Lounge Set. This short and top set is designed by the amazing Iesha of Ieshainspirations. The pattern is size inclusive for any body type.

I hope you love these patterns as much as I do and support these lovely ladies.
The Destiny Pocket Shawl was inspired by an amazing trip I recently took to Destin, FL. It was a little chilly in the evenings and this shawl would have definitely come in handy. I chose a medium weight yarn to ensure its cozy and warm but not too heavy. This will be perfect addition to your wardrobe.

Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
Center and pin the pockets ½ inch from the edge. Using needle and yarn stitch the pocket to the shawl. Do not go all the way through the back of the shawl, insert the needle through a stitch or two of the shawl to keep the back looking uniform.
Fringes
The fringes are optional. Measure 7 inches in length (14inches total, folded in half). Evenly place two fringes along the two ends of the shawl. I placed them in the side of each single crochet.
