Patterns, projects and techniques
This is one of the ‘happiest’ shawls I’ve ever seen! It’s a great scrap yarn project. Of course, what’s really informative here is the ‘assembly’ technique. Who’d thunk it could be so easy?? Check it out here. Scroll down for the ‘tutorial’. Some people just have a sense of design (not to mention color) that I lack. Some will think I’m easily impressed. Well, that may be. But, I’ll be making one of these. Would work equally well with a single color of yarn too – or even squares or other motifs.
This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.
What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.
I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.
If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
Looks like Joseph’s Amazing Technicolor Coat! Please let us see when you finish yours.
What a great idea. I would make mine with monotone colors, not so bright is my preference.
Thank you for sharing this site.
I would love a pattern for this, does anyone have some ideas?
Pretty wrap! I love patterns that use up all the scraps one doesn’t know what to do with. That is an excellent way to go: saving and satisfaction!
