OUR FREE PATTERNS AND CUSTOM YARN DISCOVERY TOUR YARN KITS
Our Free Yarn Discovery Tour Progressive Patterns
What better way to remember your YDT journey than with a project made from yarns and patterns collected on your personal Tour? Simply present your YDT passport at each of your stops to collect that shop’s progressive pattern page, no purchase required.
Beginners Welcome! Square blocks of knitted or crocheted fabric can be made with the simplest garter stitch (knit) or single crochet using yarns collected from the shops you visit. You get to choose the color and the fiber to make it your own.
Each shop has a pattern for both a knitted and a crocheted square. The square’s size will depend on the pattern, the yarn you choose and you. (To make them all the same size, we recommend using yarns of similar weight, and checking gauge!) Use the squares you create to make a blanket, bag, pillow or even a top, simply by making enough and sewing or crocheting them together. Need help? Our participating shops are an amazing resource for project help.

Our Free Yarn Discovery Tour Crochet Pattern
Laceleaf Cowl designed by Haley Handcrafted
This lovely crochet pattern was designed just for The Artful Yarn for this year's Yarn Discovery Tour. It's an 8-row pattern repeat that uses single and half-double crochet. It's construction might build some new skills for you depending on your crochet experience.
We are planning a class for this project later in the Fall.
Haley is a crochet designer based near Cleveland, Ohio. She mixes vintage inspiration with a modern eye to create one of a kind crochet designs. Designs include accessories, home decor, and size inclusive, made to measure garments. Her love for using basic crochet stitches in unique ways inspired the Laceleaf Cowl. The textured stitching used in this cowl give it warmth and comfort, while the open stitches give it drape and wearability. Haley says, “Patterns give recipe style directions on how to make the piece to your specific measurements for a perfect fit, no matter what your size may be.”
Haley lives in Hudson, Ohio with her husband, two kids, and their dog Freddie Mercury. You can follow Haley Handcrafted on Instagram to enjoy a peek behind the scenes and a dose of handmade charm with a personal touch.
