Baby Cable Beanies

categories: Baby Items, Crocheted Hats, Pattern

Hey All! I know LONG time no post – I tell you so much has been going on since my Granddaughter “Alana Elise” has been born! Being at my Daughters and helping her (C-Section) and working, Hooking and trying to make Videos?? I just need to slow it down! LOL! I have made a few new videos and am making more!  I wanted to share these 2 Hats I made for my Granddaughter with the Adult Cable Pattern!

I’ll post a photo with her wearing it! She doesn’t seem to be a fan of having things on her head! LOL! Anyway, here is the Pattern by Diana Borgstrom for the ADULT Version M@ssy Bun Cable Hat
UPDATED to ADD the BABY Cable – Baby Cable Hat

Now there are a few things that I’ll do different next time for the Baby Size – 1 is to make the brim smaller – I’ll do Ch 6 instead of the one that is in the Adult version although you can fold it up if you’d like. There will be a video made for this size coming very soon.

One more thing I did 50 rows for the brim and that fit her perfect. Remember this pattern is worked by measurements – so measure the head that the beanie is for. I just LOVE how tiny and cute this is and LOVE how this fits on my Granddaughter!

I have more to share and will do so very soon!  I just now seen some messages and I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I’m usually notified when I get comments and I wasn’t. UGH! Anyway enjoy the pattern. Need to see the Video? You can see it HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and as always….

Happy Craftin’,

Week 2 – Faye Doll Crochet a Long Videos

categories: CAL, Videos

Happy Saturday All! Been busy with work and getting videos & pattern ready for week 2 of our Free Doll CAL! I totally spaced and forgot to add the Videos for week 1 so I’ll be posting them here for you!  I also created a playlist for Faye on my YouTube Channel!

I’ve had some questions about the Tulip Hook 2.5mm that I’m using for this doll. First time I’ve used this Brand and I have to say I really LOVE it!  I only bought the one hook but may just have to buy the set. Hmmmm……isn’t Mother’s Day tomorrow?  Anyway…I love my Clover Amour but am also a huge fan of the Tulip Brand also. Can one have to many hooks? Besides they are super comfy and I know I crochet longer before having to put down to give my fingers a rest.  In the video I also share about the bent tip needles I used and have to say they are great for not just Doll Making but any project!

***Edited to Add the Pattern for Week 2 which is the Faye Dress & Shoes CAL sorry about that!

Well that’s all I have right now if you are interested in joining our Facebook Group click the link – Amigurumi Dolls Worldwide **You’ll be asked 3 questions before you join, this is just to cut down on spammers!

Crocheted Baby Bow Headband

categories: Baby Items

Well looks like everything is back in order!  So here’s my newest video and project! My Daughter is Pregnant with my 2nd Grand-baby and it’s a GIRL! My Co-Worker is also PG and having a Girl. Their Due Dates are a day apart! July 3rd & 4th! So what do I do?  Well Baby Bow Headbands of course!  Many more colors in the making!

Super easy to make and if you’re following my on YouTube then you’ve seen the video. If you aren’t a subscriber yet click on the link in the right hand corner and it’ll take you to my YouTube Channel. I’m also posting the Video below.

I’m thinking you’d like the directions for this? Well I think I can help with that! These are so easy to make you won’t be able to make just one!  Also FYI this project is done by measuring so you can do any size you’d like.

Materials: (affiliate links)

Yarn:  Red Heart Soft Baby Steps #4
Hook:  Clover Amour I 5.5mm hook – http://amzn.to/2pw9cyQ
project is done by measurements so you can use any size hook
Accessories: Scissors, Yarn Needle, Tape Measure (Stitch/Row Counter- optional)

Abbreviations:
Ch:  Chain
Sc:  Single Crochet
FSC: Foundation Single Crochet
Slst:  Slip stitch

Headband

R1:  50 FSC – (or however many you need to get the size you want) Don’t want to do a FSC? You can chain til you get the size you need then go to R2. *Bring both ends together and join w/slst, ch 1
R2-5:  sc in each stitch around, join w/slst, ch 1 (50)  Add more rows if you want it wider.  For the Baby size mine measured 1 ¼”

Finish off after last round and Weave in ends

Bow –  *If you want a Longer Bow add more chains if you want a Wider Bow add more Rows.

Ch 36 – I worked in the back bumps of the chains to give it a nice finish on the bottom.
R1: sc in each back bump of chain across – join to the 1st sc – being careful not to twist. ch 1 (36)
R2 – 12 – sc in each stitch around, join w/sl st, ch 1 (36) Mine measured 2 ¾” this was perfect for Baby Size.

Bring rows of the Bow together – making sure that where you finished off is in the middle – With the yarn threaded run it down the middle of the bow to the bottom and pull tight to scrunch it up. Then Wrap yarn around til it’s as thick as you’d like it. Attach to Bow to the Headband.

You can sell what you make from this pattern just not the pattern itself as it’s FREE! Mentions are awesome and appreciated! Enjoy!

That’s it! As always thanks for stopping by and as always…..
