The knitting community has, for the most part, greatly & graciously appreciated the quantity of free patterns out there, and whenever possible, supported designers who chose to charge for their patterns.ĭesigners should never have to feel guilty for charging for a pattern. This perspective will vary from one designer to the next. I've got quite a few patterns available for free, as you can see. but these are all for small projects (1 skein or less) - I haven't posted them for sale largely because I personally only would want to post larger patterns for sale, for items like shawls or sweaters. I've been debating for a while now, whether or not to write a post about this, since this is something that has affected not only myself, but several other designers out in the knitting and crochet community. I've yet to be convinced of their purpose, and can guarantee that this will never be something that I'll make. I'm usually the last one to comment on the utter uselessness or tackiness of something. Or, maybe, you're trying to be an etsy hipster and you've already got pictures of you posing with that Sharpie marker mustache you drew on your finger, and making an apple cozie is the next logical step in things to make and display online. Or, maybe, pharmaceuticals are involved, and while on them you become convinced that your apple is freezing and needs a sweater.

Or, maybe, you've got a partial skein of yarn that's just burning a hole in your craft room and there is absolutely nothing else in the universe that is left for you to make a cozie for. Unless, of course, your goal is to have your coworkers stare at you in the lunch room, wondering why your apple is wearing a sweater. One might argue that the purpose of an ecological, reusable coffee cup cozie seems pointless when getting coffee in a paper cup that you're going to throw out anyway - but they can be cute nonetheless, and they do serve a purpose.Īpple cozies serve no actual, functional purpose. Beer bottle cozies help keep beer cooler longer, and don't get your hands cold. Apples and bananas do not need a sweater.Ī cozie for beer or coffee cups can be, in certain circles, a bit of a stretch. Not all knitting needs to be functional, it can be weird or cute or silly.Ĭozies for your fruit serve no purpose.

I'm all for knitting and crocheting both fun and/or functional items.
