Free Pom Pom pattern....a good day for yarn!

I've been sitting on this one for a whitle, I found a great baby weight yarn which actually comes in lots of non-baby pastels, I can't believe it!! It's Hobby Lobby's own brand "I Love This Yarn" and it's acrylic. Looks like baby yarn in every way, but comes in lots of cool browns, blues, interesting multis, ahhhh! Which to me means interesting color combos for a baby hat that looks, I don't know, South American or something?? Help me out here...I do like the stripes and that notchy long stitch that makes it look like a knit cap. A small hook and light yarn helps in that regard, too. Anyway, here's the etsy item, and click hereto get the instructions on making a simple baby pom pom. One suggestion: trim your pom pom over a box or a bag, it helps! Ha!
Have a super day and thanks for looking!

Use your sock yarn for a Bitty Preemie Hat!

Susan's Preemie Hat Pattern on Etsy   This one is just simple and stretchy. You need smaller stitches for those tiny little preemie heads, so warm and peach fuzzy...it looks funny to put a big chunky double crocheted cap on a preemie, so this one is done in hdc with that fine textured stretchy sock cotton. Those cool sock designs are so funky looking, they almost look guatamalan when you add that notch deep sc on the edge. Very up to date and international looking, don't you think? Yeah! I love crochet!!! This partitcular pattern is part of my larger baby cap pattern, and it comes with 4 extra flower patterns which can be sewn on.

I just finished this one, what a delight! I can see little sun-kissed noses peeking out from under these brims. Not too much of a sun shade, but white and cool. Don't dare make these from anything but cotton!!
