Crocheted Beanie

My Favourite Things

Today's project is a simple beanie for 6 to 12 month olds.  I'm sure that the pattern could be adapted for an older child as well or even for an adult.  I like this pattern because it is quick and simple and also very adaptable.  Perfect for winter time and those upcoming Christmas/Hanukkah gifts!  Enjoy!

Pirate Granny Squares

Repeat Crafter Me

I love this idea!  If you are looking to make a blanket with granny squares for a boy this would be perfect.  It's boyish but still so cute and, in my short time crocheting, I haven't run across anything like this yet.  I think it's a perfect idea and with Christmas time coming up, would make a great gift for a grandson, nephew or son.  Click on the link to get the pattern from Repeat Crafter Me!

Linda's Turtle Potholder

I love turtles.  My favorite color is also green.  Needless to say when I saw this pattern I knew that it was going to be something I had to try. I'm not sure when I'll get to it since I have so many projects that I say I am going to do next but it is one I will do at some point.

I think this is so cute and I think it would also make a great gift too!

Here's the link to the pattern:

Finished Rope Rug

Okay, I finally finished it!  I am really happy with the way that it came out too.  I think I might want to make it a little bigger since I am putting it somewhere other than where I originally had planned to.  I left the end unfinished so if I wanted to add more later I could.  I just need to go get more of the rope that I used.

It's a little uneven and it's not as perfect as I would like it but I am proud I finished it and I think that for my first time tackling a project like this it is pretty damn good!

Chunky Crocheted Basket Pattern

Crochet in Color

Today's project comes from Crochet in Color.  It's a very cute Chunky Crocheted Basket with handles!  I've had one go at a crocheted basket so far and let's just say that it was not all I hoped it would be :)  I really want to make one of these so I feel it being moved to the top of my project list very soon.  As always, I will be sure to post my next attempt at one.  The only reason I didn't post my first attempt was because I tried it before I started my blog.  Good luck!

Crocheted Baby Blanket

Recently my friend's sister had a baby.  I have known my friend and her family for about 16 years so I almost feel like she is my sister too.  I am crocheting a baby blanket for her as a surprise and I am really excited about it.  I started out with this pink skein of really soft yarn but then I ran out.  I thought it would be big enough to do the whole blanket but it definitely is not!  I have another skein of the same yarn in purple so I will probably continue on in that.  Here is my progress so far.   

I'll be sure to post photos when I am all done!  It's not fancy but I wanted the stitches to be somewhat tight so it would be extra warm.  I basically started with a single crochet, the next row is a half double crochet, the next row is a double crochet and the last row is a triple crochet.  I have just been repeating that pattern over and over.  I'm pleased with how it is turning out and it's perfect timing since we are heading into winter here in upstate New York!

Claudia Scarf

Little Slice of Life 

Today's pattern comes from the site A Little Slice of Life.  I think that this scarf looks incredibly cozy and warm.  I also love the photo that the blogger took of it.  Looking at the pattern, it seems pretty easy to make.  I love how finished and professional it looks.  I feel like you could walk into a store and find other scarves that look just as "done" as this one.  It doesn't really have a handmade look to it which, depending on the circumstances, could be just the look you might be after!
