Pattern Designer Info

Hi, I’m Trista! I’ve been crocheting since 2011 and I learned how to knit a few years later. I am a wife and a mom to 4 children. Art has been part of my life since I was a child. Initially I began crocheting so that I could make things for my oldest son, but it turned into more than just a hobby; it quickly became a passion that has been with me through all sorts of ups and downs. My inspiration comes from many places; nature, meaningful life experiences, and sometimes just beautiful simplicity. I especially enjoy blanket designs. You can often find me hanging in the living room or the deck, on a nice day, working on one of my many projects with a hot cup of coffee or tea by my side.

Easy Pattern

Cute as a Button is a rather easy pattern. However, it might be a bit too advanced for a beginner. Note there are some issues in the pattern instructions. The written instructions are way easier to follow than the instructions with the photos. I would suggest that the crafter watch a few YouTube videos on the two techniques in the pattern. I found a much easier Estonian Button stitch technique than what is called for in the instructions.
Happy Knitting!

Quick and Easy! Receiver loved it as a favorite for her and new baby! :)

So easy to knit. Get different colors....make a few "spares" for future baby showers.
Just watch the U-TUBE video.... braid easier to figure out then the instructions.

Cute baby blanket

This is a cute and easy pattern that works up quickly. I found the Latvian braid instructions confusing and needed to look those up independently, but otherwise I have no complaints.
