I bought this beautiful book at www.buy.com for $6.11 (including shipping). Wanted to share this deal with you. When you go to the www.buy.com website, you select your item then you must pay using their google.com check out to get their great deal. What’s the deal?

$10 off a purchase of $10 or more!!

I get nothing from buy.com for sharing this info with you. Just wanted to share the deal with all of you. They have lots of stuff besides crochet books. In fact, I haven’t even checked the site out thoroughly to see what’s there.

I also do not know how long this offer will last. I saw it advertised on TV Sunday. It may last only a few days or for the month of June. I had never heard of the site before, but this ad certainly got my attention.

Enjoy – then go crochet!

Crochet Baby Beanie – A Sweet Beginner-Friendly Hat Pattern for Baby Showers and Handmade Gifts

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.
