Free Pattern: Lacy Shells Tie Back - All sizes

This is a tie-back version of the Lacy Shells Headwarmer - adult size here.  I was trying to make it in baby size, since it would be a super cute photo prop, or a headband for a special event.  But I knew the buttons would dig into baby's head, so I switched it to a tie-back.  What came about was different enough that I thought it would be worth doing in adult size, too!  I love tiebacks - they are great gifts, since you don't have to have the exact size.  And they are quick to make, so you can make bunches of them as accessories.

The baby size will stretch enough to work on a little kid - pictured below is my 2yo in the baby size.  Isn't she cute?  And the adult size will work on a bigger kid, the back of the thick part just almost touched on my 4yo's head.

Supplies:
Sport/baby weight yarn
Size 4 mm/G6 hook

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations:
Ch-chain
SC-single crochet
DC-double crochet
Sl st-slip stitch

Space-space between the second and third DCS in cluster.

Free Pattern: Crossed Texture Hat - 3 months

Premie size here.

This is a thicker texture that I've seen a lot on Etsy.  It is simple, though it would not be a good project for beginners.  This hat is extra warm, so perfect for a snowy Christmas.

Free Pattern: Lacy Tie-Back Headband - All Sizes

I saw a headband like this for sale on Etsy, and this was my attempt at it.  I love the way it turned out, so sophisticated.  It's lovely alone, and it would be a great base for a flower or other decoration.  Tie-backs make great gifts, since they fit such a range of head-sizes.

I got the idea for this headband from a baby blanket I made for my daughter, but a meander through Etsy helped me perfect it.  I love it alone, and it would also make a great base for a flower or other decoration.  Since tie-backs can fit such a range of head sizes, this would make a lovely gift or item to donate.

This hat is a worsted-weight copy of this hat.  I think it turned out really sweet.  It would be a great boy hat, too, especially with a little brim.

The spaces between the stripes on this size aren't even, as you may be able to see.  I guess this could be good, or it might be annoying.  If you'd prefer even stripes, go up a size or down a size.

I decorated this one for Christmas with the Wreath Applique.

Free Pattern: Lamb Bonnet

I wanted to make a lamb bonnet, so I looked around on Etsy until I found this one that I loved and used it as inspiration for mine.  This pattern is worked as a rectangle, then stitched together.  You will have to push the puff stitch out to the right side every other row.

This pattern should be fairly easy to adjust for bigger sizes.  The adjustments listed are my best guess; I have only made the newborn size, so if you have the baby or kid available, it would be wise to measure for length after the first (sc) row and for depth before the last (sc) row.  (Baby doll pictured has head circumference of 14".)
