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.

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.

Patterns on Sale this Week! and Coral Reef in Crochet...feeling Ambitious?

Check this out...

Its a coral reef in crochet , I can't imagine creating this much crochet (although I suppose there were lots of contributors). Wow, the best I can do is to make a rose or a leaf, maybe a hat. That's about my speed, it's totally no fun at all if I have the weight of a huge project nagging at me. Although admittedly stuff like this is totally cool. Sometimes I want to solicit help with arty granny squares to be made into pillows which will be used to support a really great charity...ah, always new ideas.

Anyhoo, all of my flowers are 30% off today and tomorrow, check out susanlinnstudio to see all of my things. I'm going to try to post a free pattern or two on this blog, just can't seem to work and write fast enough!

Have fun tying yourself up in knots today!

Another Tree Cozy!!!!

You can see a bit about it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/m-i-k-e/5822932558/ but I couldn't link to the post and make the picture visible.

I love it!!!I can't crochet anything big, it's way too overwhelming. Hats are just about as big as it gets, and all hats are off to the tree cozy people.
