Hexagon Jacket - Gotta Love It!

This is a variation of Bev's Hexagon Baby Jacket and was created by Elisa Purnell.

This is a free crochet pattern and you can find it on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hexagon-baby-jacket-with-ruffles

Bev's original jacket is also a free crochet pattern on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bevs-hexagon-baby-jacket

I crochet loosely so mine actually fits little Gracie who will be turning 3 soon. Although, I probably could have made the sleeves a little longer. If you crochet with normal tension the jacket should fit a 12 month old. This worked up in about 4 hours, however, I only worked on it a little at night so it took about a week for me to complete.
I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and it only took one skein of each color. It was a great project and Gracie loves it! Now, we just need the weather to cool off a bit!

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!

You can find the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.

This is the best pattern for beginners or experienced crocheters.

New Crocheted Scrubbies

These were really easy to make - probably about 30 minutes each, including the construction. This is a free pattern from Ravelry - created by Judith Prindle. There is even a YouTube video to show you how to construct it once you have crocheted it. Here is the link to the pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spiral-scrubbie. These are great for washing off makeup and in the shower with shower gels. Since they are 100% cotton you can just throw them in the washer and dry on low. Pretty cool and provides a cost savings since you don't have to buy those disposable cotton pads.

Really Cool!

OK - so it is not a new pattern that I want to show you, but my latest model! A friend of mine sold me one of her hair stylist "heads" for displaying my hats. I really think it displays much better than flat pics of hats! What do you think?

Toddler Basketweave Earflap Hat

This is the basketweave pattern in a toddler size with earflaps added. This worked up in about 90 minutes as I had to write instructions during the creation. Gracie is modeling it - she is almost 3 so I suspect it would fit a 3-5 year old.

I am going to create this pattern for sale and will include the hat with and without earflaps.

This hat was worked in Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

Let me know what you think!

Adult Basketweave Hat

I posted this pattern the first time I created it, but it was with a variegated yarn and the basketweave was hard to see. This time, while I was capturing the instructions, I decided to use a solid color. It is much easier to see the pattern now. Let me know if you want to test the pattern out for me! I am planning on publishing this pattern for sale and will be including smaller size and male sizes as well. I used Bernat Berella 4 and a size H hook. It took me about 90 minutes to make, but I was also capturing the instructions.

Another Cool Scarf Pattern!

This is another great free crochet pattern that I found on Ravelry. You can find it here: SapphireChild.blogspot.com and the designer's name is Julia Redman. This is a very easy pattern. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn instead of the recommended yarn so mine was a little bit longer and wider, but I love it! Hopefully whoever receives it as a gift will like it too!
