With Halloween coming up my mind has been thinking up costume ideas. This is one of the simpler designs that I have been storing in my head. Luckily, after making the eye patch, both of my nieces said they wanted to be girl pirates. (But we all know how many times kids change their minds lol) This free crochet pattern is designed for a child but could easily be modified for a toddler or an adult.
Turtle Love Crochet Pattern
I made this Newborn/Preemie, free crochet turtle photo prop for my beautiful nephew Hunter. He was born 10 weeks early weighing only 3 lbs. He is doing great! And so is the momma. A very strong family that not only have much love for one another, but also turtles. <3 Turtle Love, Presented by Stitch 11

Army Newsboy
When someone orders a special hat from me, I might as well make it a pattern to share with you. This Army Newsboy hat is size 0-3 months. It is really quick and simple to work up. I enjoy making these. With the simple change of colors, adding a stripe, a band with buttons, or a flower, you can create such a large variety of hats. I hope you enjoy making this cozy piece of wearable artwork as much as I do.

So here is a free crochet pattern for a little big flower! Its small enough to put by a monkey ear without over powering the rest of the monkey details. And its still big and full enough to be flowerific!

Its the perfect size for all your makeup tools for ladies on the go. I put all the items I use daily in it and I still had plenty room to spare.
