With Christmas sneaking up on me I am trying to crochet as much as possible. I have written a list of names, checked it twice… but everything I have made has yet to get a name tag. My current plan (open to change) is to make a lot of basic things and then to focus on more personalized items.
After crocheting the Child Size Slouch Hat, I knew I wanted to make matching fingerless gloves. The greatest thing about these fingerless gloves is that they pair up great with those stretchy small gloves you can get from just about anywhere. They will help protect your children from getting snow up their sleeves while they build their first snowman of the year.
Next on my to do list is to weave in some ends on an Adult Slouch Hat.
Child Size Granny Slouch Hat
After writing the free crochet patterns for the Adult Granny Slouch and the Toddler Granny Slouch, I had many requests for a child size version.
I had forgotten this was even on my to do list until a couple days ago. I have been in somewhat of a crochet rut. The last two things I have created were not very appealing to me. One of those were even worked up using a paid pattern. I was so disappointed! In order to feel like I was accomplishing something, I returned to my handy Adult Granny Slouch pattern… knowing I would be happy with the result. As soon as I finished I knew it was finally time to make the child size.
The Granny slouch hat is great for Fall, Winter, and Spring. The wide band at the bottom of the hat is the ideal width to keep those ears warm and covered.
With Christmas approaching, many of us will be tight on money. One of my favorite things about this hat is that it's even scrap yarn friendly. Have fun with your colors and yarn choices!

Toddler Kitty Cat Hat
My daughter Ella had many ideas for what she wants to be for Halloween. It all started in spring when she said she wanted to be a bunny for Halloween. She kept this idea until a month ago when it was time to really get started on planning out how to put it together. She quickly bounced around ideas like a “pirate bird” until she settled with the idea of a pink cat. PINK CAT? I thought to myself “How will I pull this off without her looking like the Pink Panther. Last thing I want is to take her to see the neighbors and everyone upset her by calling her a panther 😉 But, after drawing up about 20 cat hats she was really drawn to this one.
I thought I was in the clear once I finished the cat face. She was getting so excited. But then I crocheted ears. The cat looked like it was part fox :O I quickly posted a picture in the Facebook crochet group Yartists to ask for opinions and advice. Everyone was so quick to help me figure out what I did wrong. I slept on the ideas I had going through my head and finally got the cat ears perfected.
I want to add more to this costume idea and I will share with you what I come up with along the way. Until then, save this free Toddler Kitty Cat pattern!

Granny’s Slouch Hat
Yesterday my husband took me to JoAnn Fabrics to get a few sets of safety eyes. I purposely kept my eyes on the “Isle 10” sign so I could avoid looking at the yarn before getting what I had came for. Before I could even grab the little bag of eyes off the display hook, Chad was already telling me how many great yarn deals were going on a few isles down. In the lovely little piece of yarn heaven I noticed a box of huge Medium Weight Bernat Cotton marked down to 5 dollars each. The price wasn't as appealing as the 97 cent specialty yarns but the beautiful colors and amount of yardage was too good to pass up!
It did not take me long after getting this yummy yarn in my hand that I was visualizing this very hat! Super quick, super fun, and I think its a pretty easy one too! So grab your K hook and get hookin'! Now Available –Toddler Granny Slouch– Child Size Granny Slouch

Sweet Ella Valentine
Sweet Ella Valentine is a free crochet pattern designed for toddlers and children. This hat has been tested on a 2 year old and a 6 year old- fitting both of them perfectly.
While yarn shopping at Hobby Lobby last Friday, my daughter Ella snatched some fuzzy pink yarn off the shelf. She quickly threw it into the cart and yelled out “Ellas!”
After playing with the yarn I decided to go for a soft and furry pink hat. I ask Ella if she would rather me make her a hat with hearts or an Easter chick hat. I knew what her answer would be— I don't believe she knows what a “chick” is at the age of 2…. but she is always surprising me with all of her smarts. For the next hour all she would say to me was “hearts” while watching me finish her hat and weave in ends. As soon as the hat was complete, I grabbed my camera and she started striking poses for me. <3

The time has come for me to make myself a hat!This free crochet pattern is designed to fit teens and adults. I used two strands of Redheart Love to work this simple and quick earflap hat up. I wanted to use two strands so it would be thicker, squishy, and stretchy— and as a bonus, it made it a very quick project! I love my new hat!! Please excuse the poor quality photo. Last night I purchased a new camera and I am still learning how to use it. Cameras have changed so much in the last 10 years.. leaving me feeling very outdated!

Free Crochet Sun Hat Patterns!
Shortly after learning how to crochet, I searched the web for a simple sun hat pattern. It didn't take long for me to realize I was going to have to pay for one or write one myself. The great thing about sun hats is that they are great all year long! Even in the winter, especially when on a long car ride on a sunny day. One of the most annoying things for my daughter is driving into the sun while on a road trip. She is still too young to know to keep her sunglasses on.. so instead, we bring the crochet sun hat too!
Here is a list of the FREE crochet sun hat patterns I have written so far.
6-9 Month Sun Hat
9-18 Month Sun Hat
Toddler Sun Hat
Child Size Sun Hat
Adult Sun Hat
0-3 Month Bear Hat
My Christmas list is getting shorter. Slowly, but its finally starting to come along. This crochet bear hat is very easy and quick to work up. If you haven't noticed, I am going through a pom pom craze 😀 Have fun hooking this one up!

And this is what I came up with. 😀 Enjoy this YARNTASTIC free crochet pattern made by me, Stitch11.

The EveryBeanie
When making this beanie I was wanting to design a hat that would be easy to throw on when going out to shovel the sidewalk or to sweep off the car after a snowy night. I wanted this hat to be wearable by not only me, but also my husband and my step son.. the EveryBeanie. This hat has been tested and approved by my 10 year old son, Brennan, my husband, Chad, and myself 🙂 And believe it or not, the hat didn't look too bad folded up on my toddler either! The sizing is perfect for sizes tween through adult.
