See my new Baby Hat Pattern Set on Etsy!

I finally put all of my baby hats in one place! Just finished that granny and nubby hat pattern, and have been happily putzing around with all of them-piles and piles of crochet everywhere! I've got yarn in the brain, I think I'd better get my work space organized or things are going to slow down to a crawl just from sheer clutter. Thanks for looking!

Another little pattern I just finished....FAST, fast fast....don't you love Granny Square patterns? No wonder they are forever favorites, they go so fast. This new pattern has a Granny Square Baby Hat and a similar "Nubby" baby hat which uses sc instead of dc, turning those granny square groups into nubby little nubbins. Thanks for looking!!!

Dress up a Tiny Noggin Like a Hollyhock Bud!

Here's the link to the etsy listing for this little pdf crochet pattern for this cutie.

How many chances, really, do you have to dress up your newborn and snap some wonderful photos? This little hat is my latest pattern, a photo prop pattern; I love love love little flower things in crochet for a little one! It's worked mostly in dc and looks like your bitty sprite has a flower bud for a cap.

I haven't written a pattern for a newborn cocoon to go along with this, but it hardly bears writing: Just dc a circle (start with 10 dc, then inc in every stitch for round 2, in every two stitches for round three, in every three stitches for round four, and so on.... you get the idea!! When you've reached your desired diameter (14" perhaps, for a newborn), start decreasing to make a bowl shape, and keep going till it's your desired length. Maybe I'll get around to writing a pattern for a little cocoon like this, but until then, there's my free opinion and decription!

Dress up those little dolls and have a wonderful time crocheting at the beach, baby!Here's the link to the etsy listing for this little pdf crochet pattern.

Flower the Skunk and Owl, the Crochet Muses

I thought I'd show you my charming Muses of Crochet, Flower the Skunk and Owl, who live in the potted Basil Plant in my crochet corner. Crochet is HAPPY, and they make me happy. It's kind of nice that the humble nubby stitches of crochet keep one from getting too snooty. Trying to aspire to high fashion in crochet would be like trying to reproduce the Mona Lisa in lego bricks or something. Now, I know there is art crochet out there, and I love it. In fact, I like to make freeform crochet shapes for very cool jewelry and arty things....BUT, one is constrained by the intrinsic humility and childlikeness of yarns, strings, threads. Sort of keeps one from getting too hoity-toity.

Someone's going to send me a picture of something really disturbing and existential in crochet, but I'm not giving any ground here. Am I right?

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!!
