I love this color combination, and the way the texture row looks like a headband with the flower on it.  I used the small version of the no-sew rose, the open version.

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.

Happy Easter!  So thankful for our Risen Savior.
This little hat is perfect for Spring - cute but not too warm.  I used the large no-sew rose, the open way, coordinated with the color of yarn I used for the last two rows of the hat.

I made this size in a cute St. Patrick's Day theme.  The applique is here.  I just love how this pattern makes the colors pop!

Free Pattern: Up and Down Stitch Hat - Newborn

This hat was inspired by my late grandmother.  She used this simple, textured stitch pattern to make so many beautiful blankets, one of which my daughter uses every night.  Her dedication to beauty and perfection in her craft inspired me to begin crocheting, and it inspires me still.

For my Valentine's theme, I got my idea from this gorgeous picture of an item no longer available on Etsy.  I made my hat in red, changing to white for the last round, and added a heart applique from Skip to My Lou - though I only did rounds 1 and 2, leaving off the last round.  Perfect for a Valentine's baby!

This hat is a worsted-weight copy of this hat.  The spaces are uneven on this size, but I think it's pretty cute that way!

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.

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 in a color like this one.

Free Pattern: Polka-dot Headband - All 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.

Love how fast this hat works up!  Because this pattern works up loose, it will probably fit more like 12 months to 2 or 3T.

An adorable live model for this one.  Introducing baby #3!  She is about 14 pounds.  For the picture of her, I added a small open no-sew rose.

Free Pattern: Newborn Booties Worsted Weight Yarn

I couldn't find a free Mary Jane style baby bootie pattern using worsted weight yarn, so I started with this sport weight pattern from free-crochet.com and changed it all up to work for worsted weight yarn.  I made mine for a nursery decoration, so I haven't tried them on newborn baby #3, but they look about the same size as the size N shoes we have.

Free Pattern: Thick and Thin Striped Beanie Newborn Earflap Modification

For a sweet friend, a sweet little newborn hat.  I just put the earflaps from the Earflap Hat Newborn onto the Thick and Thin Striped Beanie Newborn, and edged it a little differently.  So not really a new pattern, but some might appreciate the step-by-step.

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.

Isn't this hat lovely?  This hat has such a sweet, girly texture.  I learned this stitch from The Crochet Stitch Bible. (It's called the Paris stitch in the book.)  Gorgeous bow by Bella Designs
