Now that's just nuts!

Seriously, this is the cutest thing I have ever crocheted, and the quickest.  The pattern is from Lakeview Cottage Kids and free!

Making one wasn't good enough, so I had to make 6.  It's a good thing I know a lot people with babies (Insert sarcastic sounds here *snort* Hmmmph*) I'm the one that is nuts! That's for sure. I almost feel and sound like a crochet hoarder of sorts, hahah. but all is not lost. A friend of mine is having a craft sale, so I will give her the hats to sell.

 

I detoured from the original pattern a wee bit for the bottom half of the hat and went from single crochet to half doubles.  Less rows to do and a bit more stretch to the bottom of the beanie. Aesthetically they both look just as cute.

I'm not sure on the sizing, I think mine are a bit small, so premie and newborn sizes.

These were made with Red Heart With Love yarn in Tan and Aran, the leaves were done in Lettuce. The yarn is perfect for babies and not scratchy at all.  I think I used a 5.0 mm hook, but I can't entirely remember.

This is definitely in the keeper pile for patterns.

Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf

This was my first project using Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn and I fell in love with all of the colors. 

I chose to do the Artfully Simple Infinity scarf in the Winery Color. 

This is the first scarf I've ever made and I really love it with the Unforgettable yarn. 

I love this pattern too. My gauge is a bit off or the original picture just makes it look a bit thicker and longer than what I made. I'll try it again and make it longer, because well...I want one for myself!

I used the same yarn to make the divine hat. It makes a lovely set which I gifted to one of my moms Health care aides for Christmas. I hope she likes it :)
