The Whirlwind Wrap is perfect for the gal-on-the-go. It’s crocheted using the Bullion Stitch (see how-to video below) and has a buckle embellishment that adds both a little funk, and practicality. Nab the yarn for this project here!
The Tuxita tunic is a versatile layering piece for baby, that’s sized for 6 mos-6 years. It’s adorable worn as a tank with sandals, over jeans and boots, or with tights and an undershirt. Nab the yarn for this project here!
I got them off of freepeople.com. They show them in black there, but they have both colors. 🙂

Vickie, Just a quick note to say “Thank you”. I am a novice but managed to ‘whip’ up your wrap (in black) for my daughter. Since she participates in medieval fairs, theatre and such activities, we closed it with some antique clasps. She loves it and to me that is all that counts. Thank you for sharing the pattern and for making it accessible even for a novice like me! dwarfy
Oh, that’s so great. Thanks for the note. Oh, and please upload a picture of your daughter modeling the wrap to the Caron Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/cuckooforcaron 🙂

YARNYAY! FALL BOX REVEAL:
Every season, YarnYAY! presents a new box for knitters who are ready to dive into a more in-depth project than our regular monthly boxes. For Autumn, we've gone mad for plaid, and are thrilled to have partnered with FOUR other (besides mine) woman-owned, small businesses. (Tap to see.)
We're shipping these box beauties on Tuesday 10/17 and only have a limited amount. Reserve yours today, in whatever palette speaks to you, and we'll get it to you ASAP. Link in @vickiehowell bio, or visit yarnyay.com...
Happy FriYAY! the 13th, Ghouls and Gourds! To celebrate we're giving you 13% OFF YarnYAY's spookiest kits and patterns. USE code: FRIYAYTHE13TH. Spooky sale item collecting link in @vickiehowell bio
FREE Pattern 🚨 Alert: The Ginger Spice Bi-Color Brioche Scarf! We couldn't resist whipping up this beauty out of the YarnYAY! October featured yarn @thefibrecompany &Make Aran (in colors Spill the Tea and Mon Ami). Make it to match either pair of the mitt patterns that come with our October Box, or make it on its own. You do you!
This pattern comes free with the purchase of &Make Aran yarn from our shop. Add the pattern to your cart, and the discount will appear at checkout. Who's feeling spicy? yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio).
The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
Treat yourself to the October Box to get this pattern (plus THREE more!), yarn, and a couple more awesomely autumnal items. Link in @vickiehowell bio (or go to yarnyay.com) to learn more.

Hi Vickie – nice to have the tutorial – looks like fun. Thanks!
love the boots, i’ve been searching for ones exactly like these—from anywhere specific?
I got them off of freepeople.com. They show them in black there, but they have both colors. 🙂
