Crochet Earflap Hat

I love this hat pattern.  I use it all of the time.  You can change it up a million different ways.  Most character hats start out as either a basic beanie, or an earflap hat.  It just depends on what you put on the hat.  This is a great pattern to get you started!

I did it again!

After buying the Hanging Key hat pattern from Hooked in Yarn, I started to oogle another pattern, her Zaggin hat.  Guess what...I caved.  I bought the pattern and I am SOOO glad that I did!  How awesome is this hat?

 I love her patterns.  The Zaggin hat is so much fun.  I can't wait to make a Christmas colored one.  Can't you just see it in red, green, and white?  

Not only have I been busy with the patterns that I bought, I have also been lucky enough to test a couple of patterns for her.  She is so talented! 
This is her Twisted Lines Hat.  I have claimed this hat as my own.  Yep, this year I have a brand new Winter hat.  :)

I can honestly say that I don't know which hat I like better.  If the With A Twist fit me, I think I would have two new hats.

Simple Scarf Pattern

This is a crochet scarf that I have been making for a couple of years.  It works up really quickly and is easy to make.  It looks really great, too!  The scarf makes a great Christmas gift!  I know I am making one for my daughter in her favorite color.  I have already made a couple for myself as well!
Enjoy!!

Leaf Applique

This is the leaf pattern I used for my Apple Hat.  It makes a great applique, too!  I am currently working on a few more applique patterns, so keep a look out!
Sorry, I don't have a picture of the leaf by itself.  This is the leaf pattern I used for the Apple Hat.

Been busy!

Sorry I haven't posted anything new lately.  I haven't forgotten about the blog, I have just been busy with orders.  I have also started writing some Christmas patterns.  I have been going back and forth with whether I should just start posting the Christmas patterns, or if I should wait until after Halloween. 
Tonight I am going to work on a couple of applique ideas.  I am hoping a couple work out, so I will have a new pattern to post tomorrow!
Are there any Christmas or Winter things you would like to see a pattern for?  Throw some ideas out there, I'd like to be sure to work on some things that people are looking for!  :)

Crochet Shelly Bag

This pattern had been sitting in my pattern tab.  I didn't realized I missed moving a pattern over to the main page!
This bag is AMAZING!  It is simple to make and good for anything!  This would make a great market bag, though if you use it as a market bag, you may want to use cotton yarn.  I use mine to tote coloring books, crayons, books, and what ever else my daughter wants to bring to my son's soccer games.  It also makes a great WIP on the go bag.
As always, if you have any questions or need help with anything in the pattern, just leave a comment.  I try to check in at least once a day.
