Lion Brand Notebook ®
Since I’m still a beginner knitter, I like to stick to basic stitches. While working with garter and stockinette stitch, I’ve made ear warmers, scarves, hats and wristers (all using a basic rectangle shape). Now, I want to venture into knitting items for my home. I just recently knit baby booties from this pattern, and decided to knit myself some “house booties” from the same pattern, just larger- I can’t wait to finish them! Below are some pattern inspirations to help get you thinking about your next possible project.
| Striped Dish Mats
Dish mat patterns are great because they’re multipurpose. A dish mat can become a wash cloth, pot holder or hot pad with the right fiber, which is usually cotton. These Striped Dish Mats were crocheted in vibrant colors from Lion Cotton. |

| Felted Slip Ons How cute is this set? Your feet are sure to be nice and toasty with these slip ons knit in Fishermen’s Wool and Wool Ease. I also suggest checking out our popular Felted Mary Jane Scuffs, they’re adorable, functional and stylish (just don’t wear them in the street!). | |
| Chevron Felted Pillow The best thing about pillow making is that you’re working with a square shape. You can choose a very textured yarn and work with a basic stitch, or you can incorporate lace and cables for a more intricate look. This pillow was felted using Fishermen’s Wool and the sparkle Chevron pattern was created with Vanna’s Glamour.
Here are a few more pillow options: |

| Crochet Shapes Table Runner Once you crochet this, you just might have the urge to cook up a nice dinner and invite your friends over so they can awe at your work. Crocheted in 6 different motifs with Lion Cotton and Cotton-Ease, this is an art piece you’ll definitely be proud of. | |
| Spa Scrubby and Soap Pocket Treat yourself to a handmade home spa experience. Light some candles, relax and get sudsy with your favorite soap, and a scrub mitt knit in Lion Cotton. The scrubby and soap holder only require one skein, which makes for a great affordable spa day in your bathroom. Lion Cotton also comes in self striping colors; Denim Swirl would be my go-to color for this pattern (reminds me of the ocean).

| Back Scrubber The back can be a tricky area to clean, so make sure you don’t miss a spot with this soft and porous scrubber in Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton. Nature’s Choice Organic Cotton features a muted palette of pastels and earth tones, suitable for all (or most) bathrooms. Pair this back scrubber with scrub mitts and a soap holder, and you’ll have the perfect gift for the spa lover in your life. |
