New Santa Hat worked with No Seam and Fluffy Brim!


My newest, a darling sc Santa Hat, worked in "Simply Soft" Autumn Red - a stunningly beautiful red perfect for Christmas or fall projects, it's rich and warm, but red enough for Santa. Pair it with a super fluffy specialty yarn like "Yarn Bee" Cameo Bulky or a baby boucle and you've got a smashing Santa hat. Here's the pattern on etsy ...All sizes are included in this all new pattern, and the shape is a sloping cone. My darling daughter models it for me, with a Santa interpretation all her own, hah!
Check out all of my designs at www.susanlinnstudio.etsy.com, and look tomorrow for a post about a Santa Sacque to match this hat!

Free Ivy Garland Crochet Pattern ! And check out my Allie Hat and Flower!


I'm dithering about what to post, and I think I'll offer my little English Ivy Crocheted garland to my friends as a pdf download, if you'd like the pattern click here and to see the NEW "Allie" Simple Single Crochet Hat pattern on etsy, you can see it here. My beautiful daughter is modelling the hat, I should drape her in the ivy so she can model both, but I have to keep her happy. She's a sport, but she has her limits. I had a wonderful Willy Wonky type hat to put on her, so sassy and cute, but she ran away and wouldn't do it. I was also hurt when she wouldn't wear my psychedelic flower to Tacky Day at school, but I do realize I can't take it personally. We can't all be crochet nuts.

Here are my various patterns on Amazon's Kindle Store, including this new one....when you see my patterns as Kindle documents, they're smaller in format and they're unable to be printed out, so I sell them more cheaply than the larger printable versions on my Etsy Crochet pattern store .

Show me what you've been working on, and have a wonderful crochet day!

3 New Fall Leaf Crochet Patterns and an Ivy Garland to Make


My latest, a group of super simple, super easy Maple Leaves (one three point and one five point), a classic Simple Leaf, and best of all, an addictive Ivy Garland! Click here to see the pattern on etsy! When you've got your brain stuffed with yarn like me, nothing is better than an easy, teeny, tiny crochet pattern that you can replicate again and again, until the little leaves are lying all around. It's a mental illness, I know, but it can't be helped, and well, it makes me happy.

Here are my various patterns on Amazon's Kindle Store, including this new one....when you see my patterns as Kindle documents, they're smaller in format and they're unable to be printed out, so I sell them more cheaply than the larger printable versions on my Etsy Crochet pattern store .

Best of all in all of these in the set is that they are worked on the basic concept of a round disc of dc (or a simple group of stitches in a single loop, in the case of the ivy. Which means they're fast and easy.

Let me know what you think!
