Hot Cocoa Mug Scarf Pattern for Hallmark Channel’s “Stitched with Sweets”
As part of Hallmark Channelâs âCountdown to Christmas,â the television channel and Warm Up America! have teamed up for the Stitched with Sweets initiative to create fun and cozy scarves to donate to women’s shelters. The network has also donated $10,000 to the Foundation to support the charity. I designed the scarf patterns and instructions inspired by Hallmark Channelâs “Countdown to Christmas” theme and color palette: mugs of hot cocoa decorated with candy canes and hearts. I also wanted this campaign to be as accessible as possible, so I created an alternate scarf design with more basic rectangular sections. With both of these patterns, you can make a whole scarf to donate or even just sections, and Warm Up America! has volunteers to help seam the pieces together. For knitters, my friend Candace of Yarn Puffy “translated” both patterns to knit. You can find all the free patterns, an instructional YouTube video for the crochet mug scarf, and the address to send your donations to at WarmUpAmerica.org. The deadline for items is February 14, 2024.

Easter Lamb Cake Crochet Pattern
Happy Easter! Last year, I started seeing pictures of people’s Easter lamb cakes on Instagram, and my favorites are the ones that might count as a cake fail. Melty faces. Demonic eyes. Heads that have fallen off. I love them all! You can see my real one below. Get the crochet pattern in my Etsy shop as well as my Ravelry shop. After baking a real one, I realized that my pattern is pretty big and round and chunky. I might make a slightly more realistic crochet version next year 😛. Mine still makes me giggle whenever I walk by, though! Okay, here’s the one I baked. I used a sour cream pound cake recipe and Dolly Parton’s buttercream frosting. I found a set of edible sugar flowers on Amazon.
