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!

This is a free crochet pattern that you can find on Lion Brand.  The direct pattern link is here.

I used a J hook and Vanna's Choice Baby yarn.  As I was able to purchase the yarn at Job Lot, the total cost for the afghan was $9.

I don't yet have someone to give this to you, but I am sure that I will find someone :)

If you are looking for a very easy pattern then try this one out.   It took me about 15 hours to complete, but it is one of those patterns that you can pick up easily in between other projects.  I completed this one during a vacation to Cape Cod during this last summer.

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.

Single Crochet Cap for Boys

My grandson, Cameron, requested a new hat :)  I made this pattern up as I went along.  I did not document it so will need to do that now that I see it!  I really like it and it has a much more masculine feel to it.  I used Red Heart Super Saver (worsted weight) and a J hook.  It took about 1.5 hours to complete.

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!

Ripple Baby Blanket

This was a easy pattern, but not necessarily a fast one :) I used an H hook and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Light Blue, Aran, and Coffee. It took about 15-20 hours, but for me that is about two weeks.

I made one of these for a baby shower, but someone saw it and wanted to buy it...so I had to make another!

This is a free pattern from Lion Brand and you can find it here:

Happy Crocheting!

I know...boy has it been a while! I have been crocheting, but finding it difficult to post. Here is a quick to make baby shower gift. It is made with two strands of yarn. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love in Ivory and Blue. This works up in about 4 hours and the pattern is so simple!!
