Dream Catcher | Crochet Blanket/Throw for Baby Boys Girls Adult
| October 15, 2015 | Filled under 2015, Patterns |
Dream Catcher
On a wonderful and cool night or day, feel warmth and love when you wrap your special little boy in this stylish Dream Catcher Blanket! Give your boy a soft snuggly hug with this very first piece from the boy’s collection. As he falls into a gentle slumber, may his bad dreams get tangled in the blanket’s intricate basket-weave design, and his good dreams softly slip through. While promising a peaceful bedtime, this blanket’s versatility allows it to make a stylish, fashion-forward addition to your nursery or home décor.
Crochet with gorgeous merino wool yarn for cold days, or use any yarn weights for other seasons and occasions. Make an equally stunning blanket in colors of your choice! Because the blanket size is so easily adjusted, make it a baby blankie, a king-size comforter, bedspread or a stylish scarf for yourself by working first 23-33 rows of stitch pattern. Experiment with two different designs of border stitch patterns – as in the featured white blanket – and easily apply them to any custom-sized pieces without any adjustments and recalculating. Even more, work only first 6 rounds of white blanket’s border to get a third option of different looking and fun border!

Design Your Hat | I’ve made these!! :)
| October 14, 2013 | Filled under Free patterns, Patterns |
It was such a fan to test my own Design Your Hat pattern, and I’m so glad I’ve got a chance this weekend to do it. Not to mention that these hats really take just 2-3 hours of crocheting, and about 1-2 ball(s) of yarn!
The orange brim hat is made with Omega Sinfonia (100% mercerized cotton; 218 yd [199 m]/3.52 oz [100 g]). The only difference is that I’ve added 4 sc-rows in contrasting brown and turquoise respectively.
And beanie hat made with Omega Cotton Thread #5 (100% cotton; 164 yd [150 m]/1.76 oz [50 g]). Even if this hat was a last minute project, Kristin didn’t mind to model the beanie during her evening workout ;o)
The other news I’m upgrading my computer now, and just realized how much time (and patience!) it really takes… But I needed these changes badly, and I really hope everything will be back to normal pretty soon. In any case… if there is 4-5 days of delay with my response to your email – please just let me know, probably I’ve unfortunately missed it.
Design Your Hat | Crocheted Free Pattern for Kids and Adult
| October 10, 2013 | Filled under Free patterns, Patterns |
Crochet the versatile hat or design your own—with brim or in beanie style, worked with any yarn weight and any stitch pattern with these easy to follow instructions and crochet diagrams. Refer to tip notes to get ideas and suggestions. Plus, the pattern includes a Bonus Stitch Diagram for Crown!
The hats make incredible presents that recipients of all ages love! There are an infinite variety of ability! And they are fun to make and sure bring a smile to the lucky wearer!
