Free Pattern: Vintage Football Helmet Newborn and Number 3 Applique

I saw a little helmet like this on Pinterest, and I loved it.  I didn't see a pattern online for it, so I whipped one up.  All the preseason football playing in our house put me in the mood!

The final round of scs is really important to make the earflaps nice and round, so don't be tempted to skip it!

Baby doll pictured has a head circumference of 14"

Free Pattern: Camera Lens Cozy

While I was on vacation this week, I made a lens cozy for my dad's zoom lens.  A camera lens cozy or sleeve can protect your lens from scratches or bumps without having to buy a padded camera bag.  The cozy should be snug, so this pattern will easily adjust for whatever size lens you have.  This lens cozy is for a Nikon.

Free Pattern: Size 3 Thread Washcloth Close Scallop Stitch Small

This is my favorite washcloth.  It fits right over my hand, stretches, scrubs up tough junk, and dries pretty fast.  The larger size, better for big spills, is found here.  This stitch pattern is from The Crochet Bible.

Technical Difficulties!

My #1, 2 years old, swung a purse with a metal buckle into the screen of my laptop.  And we are on vacation.  Hence, technical difficulties.  So sorry, everybody, but this week's pattern will be up when I get things straightened out, hopefully this week.  In the meantime, you could make a fun summer something, like a wet swimsuit pouch, a fishing game toy, or a kid-sized potholder.  Hopefully I will be back soon!
