Puppy Love – I Heart Mom Bandana For Dogs

March 19, 2014 By stitch11 4 Comments

My sister recently sent me a link to a dog sweater that had the “I <3 Mom” tattoo picture on it. She really wanted one for her new dog, but couldn't let herself pay the ridiculous amount they were asking. I told her not to worry- I can hook it up! But now the weather is starting to get warmer… so I figured a bandana would get more use.
The photo at the very bottom of this post is actually my dog.. but I will be adding another picture right under these paragraphs of her beautiful dog modeling it- once she gets a good pic.
The greatest thing about this free bandana is that it is very adjustable! Using two buttons and having button holes the entire way around the collar, it would fit *most dogs…. just maybe not if you have a giant K9! 🙂 Happy hooking!

Are you a Disney fan too? For the longest time, I have been wanting to make a bow that looks like a Minnie Mouse bow. Finally today, I broke out my graph paper and drew her bow the best I could.

Huggy Bunny

March 12, 2014 By stitch11 75 Comments

Little kids love snuggly stuffed animals, and this huggy bunny crochet pattern is a great option for kids who want something handmade and huggable.

Want an ad-free version of the pattern? You can download it here.

So here she is, Mrs. Huggy Bunny! She works up quickly since she calls for a super bulky yarn. She did use a little more yarn than I had expected or wanted to use, but she was worth it! And that makes for a great stash-busting project, too!

She measures 15 inches from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head. It’s such a cute and easy crochet project and a great gift for a kiddo in your life.

Speaking of the kiddos in your life, if you’re a lover of all things crochet toys, take a moment to learn how to crochet toys from hexagons with the professionally filmed Crochet Anything With Hexagons video classes.

Drawstring Backpack to Care-A-Lot

March 4, 2014 By stitch11 8 Comments

I am so excited- my daughter loves Care Bears as much as I did when I was her age…. and even loves watching the same movie over and over that I used to torture my older sisters with!

This pattern was inspired by my daughters imagination. About a month ago, she started playing with invisible Care Bears. Every time we would leave the house, she would make sure that my husband and I put all the (pretend) Care Bears in our pockets. If we told her there wasn't room in our pockets, she would put on her invisible backpack and ask us to help her put the bears in it.

It only took a few days of this to realize we needed to find her some real Care Bears. We searched many stores before I realized the only way I would be able to find them would be to order them online. You can buy them at Amazon if you are searching for them too. 🙂

Ever since the bears arrived at my house, my daughter has been playing with them all day-every day….”You wanna play Care-A-Lot” is the every 5 minute question. But, she still needed a backpack 🙂 So here it is, a free crochet pattern for the Drawstring Backpack to Care-A-Lot. I hope someone you know will get as much enjoyment out of this as my daughter.

Ready for Spring Beanie – Child Size Crochet Pattern

February 14, 2014 By stitch11 6 Comments

With this beanie you will be starting from the bottom of the hat and crocheting up towards the crown. The band that goes around the bottom of the hat has a fantastic stretch that makes it so this hat has a PERFECT fit for 3 year old's- teens!
The warm ribbed band also helps your ears avoid the cold winds that can linger towards the end of winter and during the beginning of spring- keeping your ears warm and reducing the risk of ear infections and earaches.
While the weather is changing so quickly… the V stitches will help your head stay warm- but also helps it from getting too hot!
The beautiful rose pattern is one I found by Petals to Picots. The free pattern is simple, unique, and perfect for accessorizing a beanie!

Stitch11 Square Crochet Washcloth

February 10, 2014 By stitch11 7 Comments

I have made many other washcloths. Each time, I try to improve them for my own liking.
First I had to learn about the importance of sizing (all purpose cleaning), hook size/holes in the washcloth, and the direction you stitch = the direction it stretches and stretches.
Although I love all of my washcloths from the past… I wanted to make one that is perfect for ME! One that stretches at all direction so it doesn't end up oblong. One that has the right texture for scrubbing syrup off the counters and also gentle enough for my family to use.
Let me know what you think of the free Stitch11 Square Crochet Washcloth pattern! 😀

Octopus Family- With Link To Free Crochet Pattern

February 4, 2014 By stitch11 1 Comment

Everyone is fascinated by these 8 legged under water creatures. They only take around 2 hours to crochet!
Around eight months ago I discovered this free pattern through ravelry. Squidoo.com wrote this pattern very simple. Make it once, and you will know it for life!
I also added a circle to the bottom of mine- so I could stuff them. I would make two small crochet circles and attach safety eyes onto them and then attach that to the octopus.
This is the ideal project when you need a break, some excitement, and some quick to sell projects. 4.5 gold stars from me!

Mustache Mug Cozy

January 20, 2014 By stitch11 Leave a Comment

The Mustache Mug Cozy is a fun project to work up when needing to take a break from those many other WIP's you have been working on.
The free crochet Mug Cozy pattern (designed by Three Beans in a Pod) is perfect for custom orders and gifting. I chose to use this pattern because after testing out a few others, I realized how hard it was to get the fit just right. This pattern however, works up to fit all the coffee cups in my cabinet.
I also had a lot of fun testing out a few mustache crochet patterns. To be honest… this was the only one I found that was not only the perfect shape, but it is crocheted in one piece! The directions are written so well and simple- even the crochet beginner could work one up in no time. The perfect free Crochet Mustache Pattern is designed by Make and Takes. Be sure to bookmark this one!
For the cozy I used Berroco’s Boboli Lace (in color 4312 – dye lot 7131) and for the mustaches I used Hobby Lobby's “I Love This Yarn”.

Crocodile Stitch Flower – Designed by B.Hooked Crochet

January 10, 2014 By stitch11 2 Comments

My most loyal customer has been waiting patiently since October for me to make her daughter a new hat. Now that the holidays are over, I was finally able to hook one up!
Her daughter needed a warm hat to match her black coat.. after her and her husband browsed my work, they decided on a newsboy hat. One of the greatest things about this customer- she always gives me free range to get creative. I decided to throw some texture ribbing into the hat.
I told her I would either put her daughter initials or a flower onto the hat. I had my heart sat on initials but no matter how small I crochet the letters (yarn thread and tiny hook).. I just couldn't get them small enough to look appealing on the hat. I wanted them to be no more than 1.5 inches tall. But I know I can figure it out eventually with the free Moogly Alphabet patterns.
Since the letters didn't work out, or I should say, since I didn't yet have the patience to figure out the correct sizes for a toddler hat, I decided to make a beautiful flower.
I searched The Yarn Box and shared 3 flower patterns I have been wanting to try with the customer. Sure enough, she picked the most beautiful one of all.
The Crocodile Stitch Flower – Designed by B.Hooked Crochet was perfect for this hat. The pattern is well written and easy to follow. It worked up so beautifully with the Berroco’s Boboli Lace (in color 4312 – dye lot 7131) that I recently used for the 6-12 month leg warmers.

Extra Small Dog Sweater Crochet Pattern

January 5, 2014 By stitch11 82 Comments

Since the cold temperatures are on their way to Indiana, I thought it would be best to make my Avis a new sweater.

Child Size Pom Pom Beanie

December 15, 2013 By stitch11 50 Comments

I have been trying to come up with something unique, beautiful, and fun for my 3 nieces. Just as I was starting to panic, the idea of this texturized double pom pom beanie came to mind.

Since you will be using a mix of the front post double crochet and the crossover double crochet, this hat is really stretchy! Although it is designed just for children, it fits the sizes preschooler-teen! So if you have any doubt in your mind of what to make for someone you love, this hat is a quick, fun, and safe direction to go.

Child Size Pom Pom Beanie Crochet Pattern

Supplies
I/9- 5.5 mm crochet hook
Medium weight yarn
Scissors
Yarn Needle

Stitches
FSC – Foundation Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
FPDC – Front Post Double Crochet
Crossover DC
FPSC – Front post Single Crochet

Check out the tutorials above if you are unsure of a stitch!

Row 1: FSC 26.
Row 2: CH 1, HDC into same stitch and next 24 stitches. 2 HDC into next stitch. Work on the other side of FSC. HDC in next 24 stitches. HDC into starting stitch, Join to first HDC. (52)
Row 3: CH 1, *FPDC into each of the next two stitches. Crossover DC. repeat from * around. Join to first FPDC. (52)

Repeat Row 3 fifteen-seventeen more times or until the hat is at least 7 inches tall. After making three of them… I think they are best at 7.5 inches tall.

Pom Poms
Make two pom poms using the secure pom pom tutorial. Attach the pom poms well to the top corners of the hat. I wrapped my yarn 180 times for each pom pom.

Crochet Beanie Patterns For Men

December 8, 2013 By stitch11 7 Comments

Each of these 5 hats were inspired by one of the patterns linked below. I say they are “inspired” because I changed each one to be custom and unique for each person I am gifting them to.
I have discovered a new way I like to edge my beanie's and that is with a Front Post Single Crochet. The FPSC makes the edge of the beanie thicker and stronger (while still leaving the stretch) right where the hat needs to feel the most secure.

There are only 20 days left 'til Christmas. I have been crocheting like a mad woman!

Each one of these are simply put together with basic stitches. You can turn the regular scarves into infinity or the infinity into a regular scarf. The best thing about crocheting scarves is that you can personalize each one for the person you are gifting it to. Have fun with your colors, yarns and even hook sizes to get the look just right for each person on your Christmas list.

Mini Bunny

November 24, 2013 By stitch11 5 Comments

The Mini Bunny is a surprise Christmas gift for my daughter. A few months ago she told me she wanted me to make her a small bunny. She held her hands together into a bowl shape and said “I just wanna hold it like this.” At that moment I knew I would be making her one for Christmas.

I wanted to make the bunny small enough so she would be able to care for it like a real baby rabbit. After a couple failed bunnies.. I finally created one that was perfect!

Be sure to pin, share, and save this free crochet pattern. If not for Christmas, this will be perfect for Easter!

Pavement Infinity Scarf – Christmas Gifts

November 17, 2013 By stitch11 6 Comments

I was browsing the beautiful free patterns on Fiber Flux. The Pavement Infinity Scarf caught my eye. The pattern is simple, well written, and easy to follow even while you are half asleep! The perfect pattern for the Christmas gift crunch time!

I didn't have enough bulky yarn so I used some Sensations Rainbow Boucle that I bought a few months ago at JoAnnes. I used the N- 9 mm crochet hook. I did adjust the width of the infinity scarf to a starting chain of 23. I also plan on making another one with the same starting chain amount as Fiber Flux used.

Be sure to stop in and visit Fiber Flux on her Blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and Ravelry!

Here are 4 more I have made since posting this. I am working on a neon ILTY pink one now too 🙂
