Spiff Up Your Digs With a Crochet Stool Cover

This pretty stool cover is simply a doily that Sara worked up to create a decorative cover for a stool.  I just love this look! Sarah offers her pattern and the additional instructions to affix the ‘doily’ to the stool so it stays put.  I think this is just such a fabulous idea.  Bar stools take a lot of abuse and it’s easy for the covers to become torn or stained.  This project would camouflage a great deal of deficits and turn a battered stool into a very attractive, refreshed fixture in your home.  Get the instructions to create your own 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.
