Princess Hat with Braids and Crown

October 11, 2012 By stitch11 70 Comments

For the last 6 months, I have been thinking about Halloween daily, trying to come up with the perfect crochet piece for my daughter. A couple days ago my daughter, Ella, looked at me and pointed at herself while saying “princess.” As I agree “Yes honey, you are a princess.” It dawned on me… the only costume that would be ideal for her this Halloween would have to be a princess. Either that or a poopy diaper. 😉 So here, I share with you this free crochet pattern for a toddler size princess hat with braids and a crown! Happy Hooking! Also check out the newborn size!

Simple and Practical Dish Cloth Crochet Pattern

September 13, 2012 By stitch11 31 Comments

I have been told many times by many people that I should start making washcloth sets. The thought of washing with a crocheted cotton washcloth did not sound very pleasant. Last week, the hubs and I took the kids to a nearby Canal Days where I seen many stands selling handmade items. At one of the stands there were loads of crocheted and knitted washcloths. When I picked one up and felt the light way texture I knew instantly that I had to make some DISH CLOTHS. Why I did not think of dish rags instead of washcloths in the first place, I have no idea, but these babies are genius!! Enjoy this FREE and simple dish cloth pattern!

Swiffer Sweeper Cover Crochet Pattern

March 23, 2012 By stitch11 42 Comments

Having wood floors opened my eyes to how fast dust and hair can appear everywhere!! Buying box after box of dry and wet sheets for my Swiffer has been very expensive and yet I would still end up on my hands and knees hand washing the floors. Shortly after crocheting this YARNTASTIC cover for my Swiffer I had to try it out. I am amazed and in love! It not only does a fantastic job with dust and hair but it also gets all of the little things the sheets leave behind. This swiffer sweeper cover is machine washable, reversible, and reusable! Can it get much better than that??
