This is the page where I will post some new, some old, favorites; feel free to print and share these patterns. Please include copyright information if you print them. Please do not post these patterns on line without my permission. I do not mind, however, if you link to the pattern page. Not to be used for commercial purposes.

  1. If you are looking for a basic sock pattern, you can find one here. It has a few extras thrown in for your additional knowledge. I’m working on a sock tutorial with photos and will be posting it in the near future… Stay tuned.
  2. The Newfoundland mitts are an old favorite in my neck of the woods. The weather here is very cold and the mitts are like waffle underwear, designed to trap heat.

    I absolutely love your Nfld. Mittens pattern!!! I’m about to attempt my first pair. My late Nana made mittens similar to these and they are my most favorite of all. Thank you for sharing your pattern, its very sweet of you and made me feel all warm and fuzzy with the many cherished memories it has invoked.

    Hi I read something about a hat done in the newfie pattern and would love to have the pattern. I love doing the mittens and it would be nice to make a complete set for the kids and adults. I would appreciate the pattern if you would email it to me. Thank you so much

    Does anyone know where I can obtain a mitten pattern for Newfoundland “Snowflake” pattern mittens? They are typically white / off-white with a red or blue snowflake pattern.

    I am looking for a pettern to knit a newfie hat to match the mittens in both adult sizes and childrens sizes. Please email me a pattern if you have one or know where I can get one.
    Thank you for your help
