Ah! It’s finally summer and school is out! Now I’m able to divert the mental energy away from the unplanned homeschooling and back to writing up patterns for my crazy creations. I had fun creating this wide-brimmed sun hat for my little one. And, since he likes to carry his baby around sometimes, I made a mini version for dolly…

I love making itty bitty little baby things! And with all those new babies coming I’m sure to be headed to a lot of baby showers this season. Enter… the perfect…
This week on my crocheting adventures I decided to have a go at designing some simple baby booties. I recently bought some of the new Loops & Threads Wellness Baby yarn from my local Michael’s craft store. I love how it’s hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and oder-free – perfect for making delicate little baby things. Also, there are 12 beautiful colors…
Wanting to try out some new stitches, I discovered the bullion stitch. I thought it would look great in a hat so I started to experiment. A friend saw carrots in what I made and so the design evolved into this carrot stitch beanie which we thought would be perfect for Easter! This is the practice hat I made while…

This week I’m sharing with you this fun spider hat and web Halloween costume I made for my son a few years ago when he was just a year old. I wanted something unique, fun and comfortable for him to wear. I also wanted him to be able to wear it for a few years so I planned the design…
It’s finally finished! I’ve been working on these elephants for weeks! Here is my elephant parade sun hat! My idea for this hat started out as wanting to try the elephant blanket trim I’d seen around. Wanting to make something other than a blanket, I thought they’d look great in sun hats for my boys. ***This post contains affiliate links…
I don’t know about you, but I love to crochet gifts for new babies. There’s just something so personal and special about making an item especially for that new little life. Also, I find it cost effective since they usually don’t cost much to make while the sentimental value can be huge. My personal favorite go to baby shower gift…

Here is my pattern for a simple hat with no sew brim. I see a lot of patterns for beanies like this with the brim made separately and then sewn on. I wanted the stretchy style of brim but without the sewing. This pattern uses one continuous thread from the top all the way to the end of the brim.…
