Crochet Newborn Purple Bonnet

I love making newborn hats because they're so fast to make and so cute! I'm on a roll today! haha. I got the pattern here. The only difference in mine is that I crocheted one less roll and I weaved in the lace to match the number of shell stitches I had.

I know... it's the same hat on different backgrounds. I thought the white lace and ivory ribbons didn't show well in the lighter color background. :) What's with the hearts? Well, it's almost Valentine's Day! So I took photos on my Valentine set up. ♥

My niece was rocking the Bonnet!

Crochet Large Pom Pom Newborn Hat

I saw a pom pom hat on Pinterest and I thought it was the cutest thing! So I made one of my own. It's so darn cute! I can't wait to use it! When I have time (because my whole family is sick with a bad cold) I will come back to this post and include the pattern. I'm excited that I actually learned how to read patterns! Being able to read patterns means there's that much  more projects I can take on! Plus, if I come up with my own pattern, I can share! Who doesn't love free patterns!?!?

Crochet Newborn Baby Girl Hat

My sister is expecting another girl! How come she keeps getting girls and I only get boys? ^_^ She's actually due today. I'm sure she is more than ready for baby girl to come out! I never made it to full term with my 3 boys and I know I was ready waaaay before I gave birth! 

I'm hoping she's up for newborn photos. Most of the time, we're so busy and sleep deprived, taking photos is far from our minds but I hope I can sneak some shots anyway because I know that she will treasure the photos later... they're only newborn for so long and having photos of them is so precious!

So I was at the Dollar Tree and saw these pink puff ball yarns and bought 6 of them! Why? I don't know! Because it's a dollar!!!! They usually sell for $5-$6

Check out what else I used the yarn for! It makes a cute garland for Valentine's Day!

Crochet Newborn Hat & Booties Set

Happy New Year!

I spent my NYE 2014 barely hanging on until midnight. We let our 4 year stay up, made popcorn and watched a movie (Despicable Me) and sat in front of the fireplace. As soon as it was midnight, I got ready for bed! I guess that's how it is when you have 3 little boys age 4 and under... always waaaay too tired to stay up. Before the movie started I was determined to finish this cute project...

I made this hat & booties set for a friend who's having a little baby boy & her baby shower is next week. It's actually only my 2nd time completing baby booties. I find that I'm not a fan of making little things haha. It's the feeling I get once i'm done with one of the booties... and then it's "I have to make another matching one?" lol 

Joking aside, I would like to have more practice because I'd like to start make little Amigurumi toys... 

I really wanted to make the hat a newsboy hat but I only had one more button for the hat (I needed 2 for the strip above brim)! I searched my button stash and for some reason all the matching buttons was ONE short of 6! UGH! Well, this works too. This is actually the 2nd hat I made because I had a different button on the hat and was not happy that it didn't match the booties.... soooo I took it off. The problem was I accidently cut the yarn to the hat too and put a big gaping hole in it! Luckily newborn hats are small and don't require too much time to make. 

This cute set will go on top of the DIY Diaper Cake I made!

More Crochet Cowls For Kids

It's mid-December ish and it's finally getting cold... 

My boys won't keep a scarf on so I figured a cowl is harder to slip off.

I liked the Cilantro stitch I found on YouTube. 

I followed Fiber Flux Tutorials. 

I actually made this one for my 4 year old but he was too busy playing games... lol 

so I put it on my 22 month old.

This is a Red Heart Super Saver Yarn using a 6mm hook.

 

Now this one I actually made for him using a chunky yarn and a 9mm hook. Its' basically 3 rows of single crochets and 1 row of double crochet.. & repeat.

 

Crochet Kids Cowls

These cowls are so easy to make. I used two strands of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a 9mm crochet hook. Crocheting through the back loops only gives it that ribbed look. These are for 3 & 5 year old girls. The foam head is small so it looks like an adult size but I use my 4 year old son as a model which I promised not to show (to hubby) lol.

I realized that I was running out of prettier buttons. Have no fear... more has been ordered! ^_^

 

Anna - Frozen Inspired Crochet Hat

I made an Elsa Inspired Crochet Hat a month ago and of course, you need an Anna hat too! I followed the same tutorial:

I followed the tutorial by Haley here for the hat. She has a beautiful story to why she made the Elsa & Anna hats. There are 2 videos. Part 1, Part 2.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out!

I cannot tell you how much fun I had with this little cutie!

Crochet Scoodie (Scarf + Hoodie)

I chopped off more than 21" of my hair to donate... and so now my neck will be very cold this winter! Not to fear! I'm making a scoodie! That just sounds so funny. It's a scarf with a hoodie... Scoodie! 

I followed the tutorial here. It's a two part tutorial: Video 1 & Video 2

Even though I measured the hood to my chin as she suggested because she made hers too small and explained how to fix it, I did the exact same thing. But I think it looks better with that extra "border" around the hood.

Crochet Infinity Scarf

I love this blue (Peacock) color yarn by Red Heart. It's just so pretty. I made it a little too short but oh well, it still works for my little head. 

I followed the tutorial here by Crochet Geek.

Love the pattern.

Head looks weird empty huh?

I had to take one with a beanie on. Much better? haha

Crochet Newborn Hat With Flower

I made this cute little hat for a friend who is due in January. I also made a few Tiebacks for her to use in her newborn photos.

She's so in love with purple... so of course, the hat must be purple! :)

Crochet Snowflake Banner

I found this tutorial for the snowflakes... aren't they so cute!? 

By the way, Clare at bobwilson123 has so many FREE crochet tutorials, it's awesome!

I highly recommend following her if you are interested in learning how to crochet.

I learned how to crochet just a few years ago and I couldn't have done it without all the wonderful people who share free tutorials online!

I made 6 and hung them up as a banner for my Christmas Backdrop. I used the white yarn and chained until I got the desired length... LOVE!
