Introducing Baby Brooks


This is another of my darling baby customers wearing a baby bunny hat. His name is Brooks and he's just too adorable for words. His mama, Courtney was kind enough to send photos so we could all enjoy his sweet little face! Thanks, Courtney!

Lacy Bonnet circa Early 1900's

I found this pattern in a baby book of antique crochet designs. I made it larger to fit older children or adults.

I think it' would make an awesome

photography prop!

Baby Hat

Photography props are really popular now! I've begun trying my hand at these by creating little cocoons and hats for baby's first photo opt. Here's my version of what a baby Viking would wear. (smiles)

New Designs - One-of-a-Kind

I don't know what inspired me... perhaps the rain ( I LOVE it) or maybe it was those skeins of lucious yarn from my friend Laila (who goes by the name Rawfish on Etsy.com).. but, whatever it was, I found myself crocheting like crazy for several days! :-> These are truly OOAK because Laila usually only spins one novelty yarn and I adore her corespun yarns. Enjoy these two "Uniquely Ewe" designs featuring two of Laila's skeins.

Sweet Pea in a Pod

This is the second custom

order for a new baby boy

in West Virginia. I had

so much fun making the

leaves to go all around the outside of the cocoon. Two leaves adorn the top of the little cap as well. I finally wrote the pattern so I can duplicate it. :->

How To: Circumference of crochet hats

Have you ever wanted to make a crochet hat without a pattern, but didn't know when to stop increasing? Here's a helpful formula I learned from someone at CGOA (Crochet Guild of America).

First, measure around the person's head. Let's say their head measures 22" around.

Next, divide the circumference by 3.14.

Example: 22 / 3.14 = 7

That means that when your circle reaches 7", stop increasing and work even until you reach the desired depth.

Happy crocheting! :->

Cowboy Hats!

I really like the way this cowboy hat
turned out and I've got yarn to make a
cream-colored one. I've also been
thinking about making one in black.

I love the way you can mold it almost
any way and it will hold its shape.
