Nubby Aviator Hat

I made this for a baby shower gift and have not grandchildren small enough to model it for me so was forced to use a doll :)

I used Bernat Softee Chunky for the main color and Patons Melody for the trim.

The pattern is very easy and the instructions are well written.  The hat worked up in 2 hours from start to finish.

I purchased the pattern on Etsy from Speckled Frog.  She has a special where you can purchase 3 patterns and get 1 free.  So basically 4 patterns for $15.

This hat pattern includes newborn to adult sizes. Absolutely love it!  Oh, and did I mention that you are free to sell your finished items?  Can't beat that!

Ribbed Crochet Wristlets

Ribbed Crochet Wristlet - Pattern by Janet Spirik.

I absolutely love this pattern!  It works up in 2-3 hours and they fit perfectly!  I purchased the pattern on Etsy from Janet Spirik.  A visit to her shop is truly worth it!  This pattern was only $4.00 and I know I will be making lots of these for  Christmas presents!

The pattern only takes 3 ounces of yarn and for this pair I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

This pair was made especially for my niece Mikayla!

Newsboy Cap

This pattern has a little 'attitude' and is quite easy to work up.  The pattern can be made in masculine colors and is very suitable.  I purchased the pattern from speckledfrogcrochet on Etsy.  The direct link to the pattern is here.  The pattern is $4.99, but she runs a special of buy 3 get 1 free - so basically 4 patterns for $15.  She also allows you to sell the items that you make from the pattern.  The pattern works up in about 2 hours.

I used worsted weight yarn - Vanna's Choice Baby - it is such a soft yarn and you can purchase it at Ocean State Job Lot for $3 per 7oz skein.  In Michaels and other stores they charge more than that for the 3.5 oz skein.

Oh so cute...Cupcake Hat!

I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it on Etsy.  It is so easy to customize the colors and works up in a couple of hours.

I have not added the pom-pom yet (it makes it look like it has a cherry on top), but Gracie took the hat home :) so when she visits I will have to add it.

This is just such a fun way to use up scraps!

Check out the pattern on Etsy.  The Seller's Shop is YeahSureWhatever and the pattern sells for $4.00.

The pattern includes multiple sizes too!

More Dishcloths!

I absolutely love this pattern - very easy - I am sure I posted pics before, but I found these new colors from Bernat and wanted to try them out.

I purchased the Bernat Country Colors Cotton yarn at AC Moore. It is about $7 for 14 oz, but I used a 50% off coupon so it was just $3.50!
