Waffle Dishcloth Pattern
And how to choose the right Cotton Yarn. Crochet dishcloths are one of those things that are in the category of ‘if you know, you know’. So many times, I’ve given them as gifts to friends who were NOT in the know and I always laughed at the puzzled, slightly mocking, look they would give…
Introducing Lola’s Circle Duster Crochet Pattern
It’s finally here! I am so excited to announce the release of the crochet pattern for Lola’s Circle Duster! This design has been over a year in the making. This is the most complex pattern I’ve designed and I am so thankful to my testing team for helping me get this right. This garment is…
Super easy and quick furry crochet cowl!
This furry cowl feels so luxurious! It’s like being hugged by a teddy bear. It is incredibly simple and quick to make with only two stitches – chain and single crochet (double crochet in UK terms). It’s super stretchy and slips right over the head with no loose or dangling ends to get caught on…

Peacock Shrug Crochet Pattern
This gorgeous shrug features the pineapple stitch which gives it its old-world lacey look. The shape of the shrug is inspired by the simplicity of Saori clothing weaving and sewing techniques, drawing from the Saori Margeurite Jacket. The size can be adjusted either by adding/removing repeats of the pattern, or simply by rolling the ‘collar’…
Textured Dishcloth
A beautiful and practical textured dishcloth to crochet using cotton yarn.
Easy Trellis Scarf
I just love a really long scarf – one that can be wrapped around the neck several times for cozy, comforting warmth without being too bulky or feeling like you’re being strangled. This Trellis Scarf fits the bill and is a perfect beginner’s scarf. It is very quick and easy to make and is adaptable to any…
Spiral Beanie
This clever little unisex beanie looks like it has been knitted but it is crocheted! The trick is to work in the back loop only using a half double crochet (half treble crochet in UK terms) stitch. The beanie is warm and stretchy (depending on the yarn you use of course) and is one size…
Lost Heritage Shawl
The Lost Heritage Shawl is a very large wrap around shawl (more like a cloak!) that is a modified version of fillet crochet and features Native American motifs. It is also much more than a crochet pattern – designing this has been a journey into my own lost heritage. I was born in California, USA…
ANZAC Poppy Cowl
For Australians, ANZAC Day has special significance. It’s at Gallipoli that we found our national identity. We wear the poppy on this day each year to honour the sacrifice made by those who have served in our military in times of war. This cowl is my way of wearing the poppy during the often chilly…
Entomology Wrap
Butterflies, Dragonflies and Bees…oh my! I’m very excited to share with you the pattern for the Entomology Wrap – a lovely rectangular shawl that features a host of beautiful critters – butterflies, dragonflies, bees, and baby dragonflies – as well as leaves and divider rows made of the bead stitch. Each motif is presented as…
Mother of Dragons Shawl
The Daughter of Dragons Scarf has been a big a viral hit and many of you have asked for a shawl version of the pattern. Well here it is! The Mother of Dragons Shawl features the same dragon wing shape, but has simplified increases and decreases to give it the longer runs of sections so…

It’s finally here! The updated pattern for the Daughter of Dragons Scarf has hit the Long Dog Wool blog! This has been my most popular design on Ravelry. It’s an intermediate pattern that is also suitable for the adventurous beginner. The Daughter of Dragons scarf is based on a dragon tail shape. The ‘fins’ alternate…
Butterfly Blessings Baby Cardigan and Hat
The Butterfly Blessings Cardigan and Hat are the perfect gift for the baby girl. The subtle butterfly stitch patterns the front and back of the cardigan and the band of the hat. For summer weather, the versions pictured are made with cotton yarn but an acrylic or wool would give you a spring/autumn version. Instructions…
Letterbox Anzac Poppy Pattern
The poppy is a symbol used in most Commonwealth nations for Remembrance Day. In Australia, we also wear them for Anzac Day. This year, because of the global pandemic, most ANZAC Day ceremonies are either cancelled or will be held with no spectators because of lockdowns and social distancing rules. There is a movement here…
