Baby Hat Free Crochet Pattern
I am excited to share another free pattern! It's been long enough, right? It's a free crochet pattern for a baby hat. The crocheted baby hat pattern is a basic and easy design. It is for a 3-6 month old baby. What's great about it is that it can be embellished in so many ways...add a flower, butterfly, initials, owl eyes, or bear ears like I'm planning on adding to this one!
The free baby hat crochet pattern will work up very quickly for experienced crocheters. It is also a perfect pattern for beginners who might want to crochet more than a square or rectangle and venture on to crocheting in rounds. If you make one, I'd love to know it...and see pictures! :)
Enjoy!

Mint Green & Grey Fingerless Gloves
Today, I am happy to show two different styles of crocheted fingerless gloves - one that I made and one from my mom.
These mint green fingerless gloves are made from acrylic/wool blend yarn and are long enough to cover most of your fingers.
I love the color because it's nice to see a bright color during the 100 days of darkness, which is our name for the shorter winter days.
These cute grey fingerless mittens aren't as bright, but you can't go wrong with grey.
These fingerless mittens are an easy pair to wear and look adorable on anyone. I mean this when I say it because I saw more than a few ladies try them on at two craft fairs I sold at recently (more to come on that). They were my biggest seller!
You can find both of these styles and colors in our Etsy shop, Sunshine Makings.

Organic Cotton Cowl
Here is a new creation crocheted from one of my favorite yarns by Lion Brand - Nature's Choice Organic Cotton. It is a super soft Organic Cotton Cowl. I can't claim credit for this gorgeous cowl, though, because it was made by my mom (jerryandkay).
I've use the same organic cotton for a variety of crochet projects, including a mug cozy (free pattern here), coffee cup sleeve, and baby blanket for my sister who's little boy is just one week old. :)
My favorites are the baby blanket and cowl.
If you want a cowl of your own, you can find them in our Etsy shop, Sunshine Makings. They can be made in three colors: blue, pink, or green.
