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
Ear Warmer/Ninja Mask
This Morning my daughter, Ella, woke up in a slightly sad mood. She told me she missed her aunt, uncle, and cousins. When I told her her cousins both started school today, she looked as if her heart was broken. So I decided to make her something that I was hoping would give her a smile. I did a quick search at The Yarn Box (with her watching over my shoulder) When we came across this Super Hero Mask/Ear Warmer she gasped for air and ran to get her miracas… which she calls her “ninja sticks”.
The free pattern is written by The Worsted Crochet Blog… Ever and was extremely easy to follow and worked up fast. I did make mine 4 rows shorter…. other than that, I followed the pattern to a T.
Ella loves her “Ninja Mask”! I may still add a pink bow so she can use it this fall when it starts to get cooler out. 🙂
Flower Photo Prop
This large photo prop crochet flower is inspired by the pineapple stitch. I wanted to create a free pattern to embellish beautiful little girls during a photo shoot. While awake or asleep, this crochet flower is perfect for all little angels.

Lalaloopsy Inspired Doll
Here she is! For the last few months, I have had so many requests for me to write this free Lalaloopsy crochet pattern. I tried to keep her simple and I did my best at explaining everything as well as I know how. This is not an “Easy” pattern…. mostly because it takes a little extra patience. This crochet pattern is loads of fun! I encourage you to be creative with your yarns. I used all medium weight yarns but mixed up the textures and brands of yarns and I LOVE it!!! Now go look through your scraps and find all those small amounts of beautiful yarn that you have been waiting to use! And I will warn you, the hair takes twice as much yarn and twice as much time as it appears.
This Doll measures 12 inches in length.

Add some bows and shoe strings!
I added bows to every other shell at the bottom of the dress. When tying them on, I tied them through the center DC of the shell and I tied them through both the top and bottom layer of the skirt. (this helps the top layer from flipping up. The way I made my bows was very simple. I cut a piece of yarn and pulled in through from the top to the inside.. and then back out… and then tied it into a nice bow. If you are worried about your bows not wanting to stay tied, you can add a very small amount of hot glue under the knot and it will hold like a champ!
Now for the laces I used a yarn needle. I started at the bottom and pulled a piece of yarn half way through.. zig zagged both ends up the shoe and then tied them. Again, you can use a small amount of hot glue if you do not feel it it secure enough.

This is where I put the crochet at a pause and made her face.
Lalaloopsy face
The first step to making the face is to add the eyes. But before you can sew the 1 inch buttons on, you will need to use some black yarn and your yarn needle to make the lashes. I cannot tell you exactly how to do this other than to make two lashes. I start the lashes where the button will cover and then work out at an upper angle.
-Sew on your buttons.
-With yarn needle stitch a smile. You can use my doll as a guide or you can google images a picture of a lalaloopsy doll.
Now for the cheeks.
With light pink yarn. (make two)
Magic circle, CH 1, 9 HDC inside ring. pull ring tight and join to first HDC. CH 1, 2 SC into each HDC. Leave a long tale and use that tail to attach them to the face,

Stuff the head now while you still have a small hole.
Round 77: SC DEC 7 times. SC into last stitch. ( 8 stitches)
Round 78: SC DEC around. (4 stitches)
Finish off leaving long tail to close hole.
Lalaloopsy Arms and Sleeves
Starting with skin color yarn.
Round 1: Magic circle, CH 1, SC 5 into magic ring, pull ring tight. Join to first SC. (5 SC)
Round 2-3: CH 1, SC into same stitch and each stitch around. Join to first SC. (5 SC)

Change colors to your choice for the sleeves. Attach the yarn in the front loop. You with be crocheting into the loops upside down so that the pretty side of the stitches will be on the outside of the sleeves.
Round 20: In front loops only. CH 3, DC into same stitch and DC into the next stitch. **2 DC into next stitch. DC into next stitch. Repeat from ** around. Join to top of CH 3. (12 DC)
Round 21: CH 1, SC into same stitch and each stitch around, (12 SC)
Finish off. Weave in ends and attach the arms with a yarn needle. (I lightly stuffed the arms with yarn ends) This may be a little tight… be patient and it will all come together. I pinched the arm flat and sewed it on my the back loops that were left.
Lalaloopsy Curls
Using 5 MM crochet hook
Leaving tail, CH 15, 3 DC into second CH from hook and down the rest of the chains. *For a double curl do not finish off — CH 15, 3 DC into second CH from hook and in remaining chains. Cut yarn leaving tail – Make as many as it takes to get the fullness of hair you are going for.
To attach the hair. Inset hook around SC stitch of the scalp, pull one yarn tail through, tie both tails into a knot, the using yarn needle, weave in ends into the hair curl.
**When making my lalaloopsy with rainbow mohair I had to put 4 DC into each CH to get a good curl)
Crochet Hair Bow
With your choice of yarn color.
Step 1: CH 33, DC into 4th CH from hook and each CH across. (31 DC)
Step 2-4: CH 3, Turn, DC into each stitch across. (31 DC)
Join both ends with a slip stitch. Fold the bow so that the seam is in in the middle. CH 60. Finish off leaving long end.. Wrap your chain around the center of the bow. Weave your ends in to secure the CH. And then using the same end, attach it to the top of the lalaloopsy head.
Free Crochet Stitch11 Purse Pattern
I created this beautiful Stitch11 purple purse using my free pattern from an earlier post “Stitch11 Crochet Purse.” I used Red Heart with Love yarn and the only changes I made were adding an extra four rows to the strap, and using a Foundation Chain for the button strap instead of the basic Chain. I love my purse and I use it daily!! Sharing the love <3
Lalaloopsy Crochet Doll
Whats hot in the crochet world right now? Toys!! It's too hot for scarves, sweaters, and fun hats right now but its never too hot for a custom handmade crochet lovey! Children of all ages are helping us Yartist bring crochet up in today's market. Lalaloopsy is one of the hottest current trends! Everyone loves the fun bright colors and beautiful curly hair. The button eyes can be a little creepy but the lashes make up for it.
For this Lalaloopsy doll I used a free crochet pattern that I had found in The Yarn Box. I have already made 2 Lalaloopsy dolls at an earlier date– and when I posted pictures of them on my personal Facebook I had so many people asking for prices that I actually panicked a little.
When crocheting this doll I was going for the look of “Jewel Sparkles” from the Lalaloopsy movie that my daughter cannot seem to get enough of. I was hoping for a doll about 12 inches tall and quoted the buyer $50 for my time and work… I didn't expect the doll to end up about 1.5 feet tall or to take as long making her as I did– or I would have probably told her $75-$100 dollars. I did my best to follow the pattern but I had to change a lot to get the look I was going for. I didn't find it very hard to change but the pattern did seem flawed… or it may have just been my lack of reading comprehension skillz. Anyhow, the doll turned out beautiful! I could just stare at her for hours!!! I do recommend the free pattern from The Yarn Box and I think anyone with the basic crochet experience could have a lot of fun with it.

Stitch11 Crochet Purse
Crochet Bracelet for Everyone
Since my wrists and hands are smaller than most, I am sharing a technique that anyone can follow no matter what size the wrist. You can use any yarn, thread,hemp, jute, or even string. You can choose whatever hook size you wish. The size of the button will vary on what yarn and hook you use. This pattern contains the stitches HDC (half double crochet), SC (Single Crochet), and CH (Chain). You will need a yarn needle for weaving in your ends and sewing on the button.
Step 1: Make a chain the length to fit around your wrist. It will need to fit around snug with no stretch what so ever.
Step 2: Skip one CH, and HDC across.
Step 3: CH 4, Slip stitch into the bottom of same stitch.
Step 4: CH 1, SC across. SC 2 times into the side…(the 1 CH you skipped before starting the HDC row.)
Step 5: SC across the other side
Step 6: SC 4 times into CH space. Join to first SC.
Step 7: Weave in your ends and sew on your button!
Stitch11 Crochet Purse
For the last year I have attempted to make myself a purse multiple times… I have not been happy with any crochet purse until now!! I love this little bag so much. It's perfect for me! The strap is shorter because I have had problems while carrying my toddler through parking lots and my purse strap falling from my shoulder to my elbow causing the purse to drag by my ankles. o.O not ok! I also made the bag part of the purse a little smaller BUT I can still fit my wallet, keys, glasses, pack of wipes, and a few diapers into it! Its perfect for the someone like me who only carries what I need and doesn't like to carry a tote around when you already have a 35 lb toddler on your hip. Happy Hookin!

Crochet Lalaloopsy Dolls
Recently my niece Abby was having a birthday. I knew I wanted to make her something that would make her eyes light up. I asked my sister Miranda, from Work At Home Adventures, what I should make. Since she has a little girl that is also 6, I knew she would have a clever idea. She quickly sent me a link from The Yarn Box for a free Lalaloopsy crochet pattern.
The Lalaloopsy pattern was simple enough for me to understand but I must admit, the pattern is flawed and at some points, it really lacked detail. Which is really fine with me since I like to do my own thing anyways. I think a crochet beginner would be able to figure the pattern out but experience will really come in handy with this one.
Shortly after I started making Abby's doll, my daughter Ella stressed to me how much she wanted one too… a baby one. I was going to write a free pattern for it to share with you but there were some flaws that I would really want to get fixed before posting. Don't worry though! You can find the free pattern for the original on Ravelry.
Secure Pom Pom Tutorial
Have you ever watched a pom pom fall apart before your eyes? Have you ever made a toddler a hat with pom poms? If the answer is yes, you need to know how to make a secure pom pom!!
Follow this step by step tutorial and say goodbye to those annoying pom pom bombs.
Free Crochet Coaster Pattern
Last week, my mother and I went YARN SHOPPING!!! While we are admiring all of the beautiful yarns at Hobby Lobby, I asked her what she would like for Mothers Day. My sweet mom says “coasters.” <– This is one thing I love so much about my mom. She could have easily said “a bedspread.” But she would rather have something simple, small, beautiful, and something that would be stress free for me. So, obviously this free crochet pattern is designed for and inspired by my momma 🙂

Infant Overalls – Size 3 Months
About a year ago, a friend of mine took some amazing photos for me of the Chloe Hat and for my About Me. I promised her I would make her baby (who was still in her belly) a crochet item. I have started making things for her so many times in the past but never really loved anything enough to give her as a big “Thank You!” Last week I came across a pattern by Busting Stitches for a newborn suspenders and bow tie photo prop. That is the moment I decided I wanted to make clothing and a bow tie. I honestly wasn't wanting to write a pattern but after searching and searching for a free boy clothing pattern…. I had no choice but create something of my own.
Wyatt (pictured above) is 13 lbs and is 4 months old. Since this is my first time really making clothing, I am not exactly sure if this outfit would be 0-3, 3-6, or 0-6 months in size- so “3 months” is what I will call it 😉 I did actually use measurements and 3-6 month clothing as a guide, but Wyatt is in 0-3 month clothing so “3 months” really seems safe.
This pattern is a very simple crochet pattern and ideal for even the crochet beginner. If you are not up for the “Foundation Chain” you can use the regular technique of chaining and shouldn't have any issues.

Crochet Ballet Slippers
When I came across a free crochet pattern for “Simple Child Slippers” at The Yarn Box, I knew instantly I would be making a few pairs of shoes for my nieces. HodgePodge Crochet did an excellent job writing this pattern. I found it to be very easy to follow and they are actually the first shoes I have ever enjoyed making. You will be seeing more of these made by me. My daughter Ella is already begging me for a pair and I have another niece who loves to dance!
When making these ballet sippers I used Lion Brand Tweed Stripes and also used smaller hooks than called for. The slippers with purple measure just over 7 inches long and were made with a 4.25 mm crochet hook. The pink ribbon ballet slippers were crocheted with a 3.5 mm crochet hook and measure 6.25 inches long.
Before finishing off the yarn on the shoes I chained 5 and slip stitches 2 stitches over to create a loop on the top of the heal. Wove in my ends and then added ribbon by weaving it around from heal, around the front, and back to the heal. I then took a small piece of ribbon, tied it into a bow and hot glued it onto the center of the ribbon on the front of the shoes.
Poncho For Ella
While browsing the RAKJPatterns Blog, I found a free crochet pattern for a toddler poncho!! If you are in the Yartist Facebook group you already know that I had been searching for an adorable crochet poncho pattern for a while now. There are 3 things I love about this pattern right away. 1- simplicity! You all know I love simple patterns/easy to follow. 2- Adjustable! Just by starting with more or less chains and making more or less rows… you can make all the sizes you wish… its that easy! 3- Its adorable! Only the cutest for my daughter!
While following her pattern, I crocheted rows 1-11 and then I repeated rows 4-7 one more time before continuing to the last row (row 12). I also not only trimmed the bottom, but also the top. I changed colors at the end of each row. But if you do not want to take the time to weave in your ends.. changing colors is an option. I find that I dread weaving in my ends so much through out my projects, but once it comes time to do it… it really doesn't take that long. It can be so rewarding to go ahead and make the color changes!
Be sure to not only check out RAKJPatterns free Poncho Pattern, but also her Facebook!

Sweet Tart Rug
Every morning my daughter sits on the floor in front of the TV asking for her cereal. After she takes about 5 bites of her fruit loops she lifts the bowl up to drink the milk- like she has seen me do. It never fails, the milk and cereal go everywhere.
When I was a young girl, I remember going to my Aunt Debbie's house and sitting on little rugs while we ate our Oodles of Noodles (Ramen Noodles). This Sweet Tart Crochet Rug will be my daughters new breakfast rug. I plan to also take it outside when she is drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. Nothing is worse than wearing a dress or shorts and sitting on your knees on the sidewalk while creating your masterpiece. The best part about this rug, its washable, durable, and looks as delicious as Sweet Tarts!
