Patterns, projects and techniques
I just love the look – and simplicity – of this pretty necklace. I love the color play that Liliana has created with her color choices. This would be the perfect showcase for a fantastic bead, too. A more humble bead could be hidden at the back neckline while a stellar bead could be displayed front and center. Find more about this necklace on Liliana’s blog here.
We could make one of these to match every outfit in our wardrobe, couldn’t we?
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.
Is there a pattern available for this lovely necklace? Can’t seem to find it.
I’m wondering where I can get or buy the pattern to make this necklace myself? Thanks!

I just want to say how much I love the fact that there has been updates to the jewelry blog quite often now.
Thanks for featuring my tutorial. In my blog here’s a link to the video that shows how to make the crochet cord and there’s my tutorial on how to make the necklace. Thanks again!
