When I first became a designer, I decided to deconstruct some garments. I saw a way of recreating them in strips that would make it easy to modify the fit perfectly. This is the first time I’ve ever used this method on a man’s garment. I love how it turned out! To Aran Is…
A buddy of mine was a skateboarder. I didn’t get why he wanted to break his bones defying the laws of gravity, but I did like the cool hats he wore. After two quick measurements, you can customize this pattern and use any yarn to make your own personal statement. Calvarium Skullcap ©2008-2016 Drew…
Some guys don’t like the ribbing on most sweaters. That’s why I’ve created this sweater that has a rolled hem instead of ribbing. The entire sweater is worked up in single crochet, so this is a great project for beginners. Comforolled ©2008-2016 Drew Emborsky, aka The Crochet Dude® Skill Level Advanced Beginner Finished Size…

Now that I have these slippers, I tell my well- meaning family to please not give me any more novelty slippers that look like dogs or beer steins or cartoon characters. I can whip up a pair of these in an evening and not scare the cats as I walk across the room. Paw…
As I was looking for the perfect fiber for this project, a little voice in my head kept saying “use leather.” While I usually listen to those voices, this time I decided to create this crocheted belt from shoestring-weight suede.
