This architectural scarf is crocheted with alternating sections of short rows to create “pillars” that jut out from the side. The scarf is then turned 90° and a lengthwise edging is added that connects them all. The spaces created from the pillars along with the eyelet rows create a geometric, masculine pattern reminiscent of the ancient Roman aqueducts that looks great in a dark heathered or tweed yarn.
Details
- 76″ x 8″
- Requires about 500 yards of Worsted weight yarn
- Size G hook

This is the first hat I designed back in 2011. It’s made with Tunisian crochet, worked sideways with short rows, and then the edges sewn together. The Tunisian stitches give it the smooth and sleek look of knitting that’s also super thick and comfortable for cold winters.
Details
- About 22″ Circumference
- Requires about 150-170 yards of Worsted or DK weight yarn
- Size J Tunisian hook, plus a standard J hook for cable stitches

Hi y’all. Back around 2011 I had a blog (here on thelightaesthetic.com). It was mostly crochet patterns and a small portfolio of small games I worked on. Unfortunately around 2014 I could no longer afford to keep hosting the site, and it eventually lapsed and all the content got taken down. Jump cut 6 years, and now I’m ready to rebuild!
It started with a desire to make some new fractal art, and a desire to find a better way to display it than DeviantArt. So I repurchased the domain and bought some hosting, then learned a bunch of Javascript, PHP and CSS to create a new gallery site.
Following the success of that, I learned Node.js and Heroku to revive my old Twitterbots! The page dynamically loads the latest 3 tweets of each bot for your amusement. Slowly I will be reviving some more of them, and maybe making some new ones.
I’ll also be (attemping to) recreate my old crochet/knitting patterns so I can put them back on Ravelry.
Let’s consider this my “What skills did you pick up during quarantine?” thing.
