Crochet: Clutch
I love the look of the embossed leaves from the Frozen Leaves Beanie pattern I created in Feb 2018 and have always wanted to create a bag or clutch using the same type of stitch. With a winter holiday coming up, I decided it would be great to have a new little clutch for evenings out to fit my phone and other accessories, so this little clutch ...
Crochet: Animal Toy
My husband, kids and I LOVE Shark Week on Discovery Chanel! We love all of the shows about sharks and look forward to learning more about these magnificent creatures durning this week each year. Worked in pieces and crocheted together, Sharkie is a perfect project to work on during the week or makes a perfect mascot to share in the enjoyment!
Crochet: Tote
In March, my good friend Heather told me she had lost her crojo (and I had a little as well). She said she didn’t feel like making hats, but wasn’t sure what to make. She wanted a bag (or beach bag) of some sort, so I got to work. It took me a while to get back into the swing of things as well, but am so glad I did! I knew I wanted to create so...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I have always been intrigued by bold textures in crochet and this particular one looked very intimidating to me, so it took me a long time to get up the gusto to try it! Oh, how pleased I was to find out what a relaxing, easy repeat it is! I love how defined the rich, 3D leaf shapes are that emerge from this design. This hat is a bit if a yarn ...
Crochet: Cowl
After creating the Sweetly Swirling Beanie, I NEEDED to create a cowl to match! The Sweetly Swirling Cowl will once again make your yarn the star of the show, while giving you a visually interesting texture that works up very quickly. This simple design is a great one for beginners or advanced crocheters alike, and will look great with variegat...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I wanted a hat that would show the BEAUTIFUL colors of this yarn, without having TOO much texture and taking away from the yarn itself. The Sweetly Swirling Beanie will make your yarn the star of the show, while giving you a visually interesting texture that works up very quickly. This simple design is a great one for beginners or advanced croc...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
If you have ever peeked in my shop, you will know that I love a big, bold texture. The Goody Gumdrop Beanie is no exception! There are a few things I want to point out about this beanie:
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I love hats that have a little bit of an airy feel to them, especially since I will wear a hat all day long in the winter months (whether I am indoors of out)! When made using Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable, this hat is SO soft and has such a beautiful drape - perfect for all day wear! Want it to be warmer for those really chilly days? Feel f...
Crochet: Bonnet
I LOVE a bonnet on a baby!! I also like big, bold textures and projects that work up quickly! ;) I designed the Woodland Pixie Bonnet to use as a photo prop, but it would make such a sweet baby gift or any day bonnet for that new little one in your life!!
Crochet: Applique / Embellishment
I LOVE the Boho look. I also love all sorts of accents and embellishments that fit the boho theme. A pattern was recently released for a Tunisian style of feather and as much as I admired the looks, I do not have suitable hooks for that project, so I came up with my own style that uses some of my favorite, basic crochet stitches instead.
Crochet: Pants
The Avery Newborn Pants were designed to use as a photo prop, but they would make such a sweet little pant for your little one in warmer temperatures or as their coming home pants!!
Crochet: Tote
I am bag-obsessed!! I have bags of every shape and size and am ALWAYS excited to make more! This design came about because I am always in need of a bag for my work-in-progress and rarely leave home without my yarn! I wanted something fun, dense (I don’t want my hooks to fall through) and a wide base to accommodate at least a few larger skeins o...
Crochet: Purse / Handbag
Summer is by far my favorite season. I love the heat, the long days and the boho styles that look so much nicer when you are not wearing a winter parka! ;) I love little sundresses and clothes that do not contain pockets, so I have no shortage of summer bags. This design came about because I need a bag that is a bit larger than a clutch, but no...
Crochet: Clutch
I love little clutches and bags. I don’t think you could ever have too many!! This clutch was inspired by a picture I came across on pinterest a while back that did not lead to a pattern or finished product that you could purchase. :( After much experimenting, I came up with my own version - the Cluster Clutch. This clutch can be made using ANY...
Crochet: Hats - Other, Beanie, Toque
You know how they say diamonds are a girl’s best friend? Well, this diamond textured beanie may be a close second!! This is a great option for the girl who likes to wear a hat all day - it has an amazing texture, but won’t have you sweating when you head inside. And there are two options included in the pattern for a beanie option OR a messy bu...
Crochet: Money Purse, Clutch
I love cupcakes…. Like, really love them! I love eating them, making them, making things that look like them, but I especially love sharing them! This cupcake is the best of all, because not only does it work up quick, but it makes a delicious, zero calorie gift!! Who couldn’t use a Cupcake Clutch in their lives?! The ‘flavors’ are endless! Can...
Crochet: Onesies
I had a skein of Red Heart Boutique Sashay yarn kicking around FOREVER and didn’t know what to make. Since all of my passions collide (I am a newborn photographer and am always crocheting something!), I came up with the Sashay Diaper Cover, but STILL had some sashay yarn leftover. So, the Tutu Romper was born! This little romper makes a fantast...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
I know that there is no shortage of messy bun hats to choose from right now, but as a gal with long hair (who wears it up as much as down) I truly do love the concept. That being said, I like functionality and don’t want a hat that can only be worn half the time, so this one can be worn cinched up when your hair is down or cinched tight around ...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
It’s freezing outside and you need to wear a hat, but you’ve got your hair in a messy bun or ponytail….. What to do??! You grab your Bun & Done Beanie - that’s what!! This hat can be worn around a bun or ponytail or cinched closed to wear when your hair is down. It is a perfect piece for on the go and when you are in and out and don’t want ...
Crochet: Mittens
Because every great hat deserves some matching mittens…. The Cupcake Puff Mittens were designed to match my Cupcake Puff Hat (see link below)!! These are great “on the go, not in the snow” mittens! ;) They are perfect for fall/spring and includes information on how to line your mittens to make them more cozy for winter.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
A dear friend of mine wanted a hat that looked like a cupcake for a baby gift, so after some playing with textures and colors, the Cupcake Puff Hat was born! This hat is a super sweet, super soft little beanie that is adorable for babies, toddlers and children alike! Different color pallets will give the hat a whole new look.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
If you are like me an love the look of knit garments, but prefer to crochet, this beautifully textured hat is for you! This pattern can be fairly time consuming (for the LIGHT version in particular), but it has a really easy repeat and is SO worth the time and amount of yarn!! Perfect for adults, children and babies!
Crochet: Onesies
With the delicious “V” texture in this newborn romper, how could I not include 2 V’s in the name? The Vivi Romper makes a fantastic photo prop and would be such a sweet little outfit for summer babies.
Crochet: Pillow / Cushion
This deliciously textured removable pillow cover was created using approx 350yds of Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn (just over 1 skein), a 14” pillow form, 3-30mm buttons and 5-20mm buttons. This yarn works up beautifully, has a very nice feel and really shows off the texture in this Deep V stitch. A great addition to any room - would also make a wo...
Crochet: Pants
These pants were inspired by the Fan shell bonnet and wrap pattern by Paloma Perez. I whipped up the bonnet for a newborn photo shoot. Since I love nothing more than newborns with their teeny little bums up in the air (but prefer when their dignity is not on show for the world to see), I came up with these little pants to go with this beautiful...
Crochet: Electronics Cozy
Whoo-whoo else loves owls??! :) This pattern was created because I wanted something cute to store my phone and other little essentials in when leaving the house. Turns out, the Hootie will hold anything though! What will you use yours for?!
Crochet: Legwarmers
These beautifully textured, lacy wavy leg warmers are comfy and stylish with skirts, shorts or leggings. The lace trim is optional, but really finishes them off nicely!
Crochet: Soakers
Who can resist a ruffle bum??! I had a ball of Sashay yarn kicking around and wanted to make something that would be irresistible in newborn photos, so the Sashay Diaper Cover was born! If you have never worked with the Sashay yarn, do not fear - I have included many photos on how to attach it to your project, as well as some video suggestions ...
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
This airy, textured toque is a great choice for everyday, all day wear. It keeps you warm, but not overly warm when you head indoors.
