Crochet An Amazing Lace Wrap Shawl

August 27, 2014 by jd wolfe

cro leaf shawl 2 0814

When I first saw this shawl, I was immediately intrigued with the unusual shape of it.  You can see that better in the second photo.  I wasn’t quite sure how it would remain situation on my shoulders, but, as you can see from the second photo, the seemingly abstract shape is actually well balanced.  I love the ripple effect edge that doesn’t require any special stitch work.  I think it’s an amazing design.

As I browsed further through designer Sara’s site, Posh Pooch Designs, I found one interesting project after another.  Free patterns, unique ideas, lots of goodies for pet lovers.  This gal must spend all her waking hours designing and creating things for her animals and her humans!  And, look how creative she is!  I’m impressed.

I also liked the looks of the Linked Up Cowl.  Of course, one could use any color combination desired, but I love the choices she has made.  This would make a great gift for a fashionista or anyone living in a colder climate.  Choose a really soft, plush yarn and you’ll have a cowl worthy of a queen (or me if you want to send it my way 😉

I’ve not included any of her pooch designs here because there are just too many of them.  You can check them out for yourself.  I’m sure you’ll be equally impressed with the variety of projects offered.  And, not just for pooches.  There are wash cloths, purses, and even a fanny pack.  Not sure I’ve ever seen a pattern for a crocheted fanny pack.  There’s plenty here to keep you browsing for quite a while.  Check it out!

You can find the Lace Pumpkin Wrap (shawl) pattern here and the Linked Up Cowl Design here.

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.
