I used an H hook. Magic circle and started with 8 sc. Then continued as a beanie with a few increases and decreases as needed to form the correct shape.
Pretty basic.

I know.. more pictures.. but seriously!! It's adorable!!
Anyway-
I was going to write up a pattern for it but at this time I haven't yet.
Thought I would engage and see if anyone is interested 
in a pattern before I spend the time on it.
So if you're interested please leave a comment or shoot me an email and I will provide one!
It's actually not much harder than making a beanie and it is crochet so it works up quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Woo fall! And impending birthday =)
Well you wouldn't know it's fall around here yet.. it's still reaching triple digits {heat index}
But it's Septemeber 
{my favorite month for some reason.. haha} 
So I know it's coming.. in a few more months.. lol

I have been busy busy working on my fall/winter projects!
Right now I have 2 scarves, my hooded scarf, a loom beanie and a baby cowgirl hat in the works.
Everything is coming along nicely!
I'm also working on some granny squares for a larger project.. almost forgot about that..haha.
Guess I actually did forget to photograph those.. but that's okay.. they're just granny squares. {And the loom beanie...dang}

Oooh well. Wait until you guys see them all once they're done!
I'm going to attempt to finish up the pink hat today.. all the yarn is still attatched and I'm going to add an accessory to it. 
Either a bow or a flower.. the bow is winning.

Since I learned how to crochet {maybe 2 years ago?} I've been doing LOTS of crochet I'm trying to get back into knitting again as well. The green scarf is knitted =) 
Maybe I will also be able to post patterns along with my creations.
I'm not a pattern kind of person I just decide what I want and figure out how to create it. 
I can read and understand patterns I just find them tedious..
So maybe I can write some simple patterns =)

I'm hoping to get all these done within the next 2 weeks so I can start the next round of projects. Seems a lot of people are getting scarves this year lol.
But scarves are great.. and winter has been harsh lately 😉

The hood is actually a redo.
I made a hood last year and I loved it but really wanted a scarf attatched to it so I scrapped it and did it over. It's just waiting to have the scarf attatched now. I have to check and make sure the hood is long enough around my face first.

I love fall.
So many accessory options.

So this is what I've been up to lately.
Hope you'll stay tuned for the finished projects and for future projects!
{Maybe patterns too}

Thanks bunches for stopping by!

Well. Time is doing it's thing as usual and it's almost back to school time already. Which means fall isn't far behind! Time to start my yarnwork again. I knit and crochet so I just sum it up into yarnwork. I just finished a project a few days ago and I LOVE IT. 
My cousin is having a baby girl in September and I thought I would make her something for the winter! This is my first attempt at this kind of project so I was thrilled with how it came out!! 

Yeah. The photo isn't great quality as it was taken with my cell phone but I don't think much is lost in translation. I did create this pattern myself. Last year I made a hood for myself {Which I love and I'm currently adding a scarf to it} so I kind of just went with that and measured along the way. It's just basic SC all the way, except that I used a foundationless start to get the pretty ruffle effect around the front rim of the hood and the bottom of the scarf. 
This piece was very simple and I finished it in just a few hours. 
I hope she will love it just as much as I do!!

And while we're on the topic of yarnwork.. I think it's almost time for me to setup a goal sheet to get things done for Christmas time!! I love making things for my family. Although everything hasn't turned out perfectly.. it's given me the opportunity to practice and hone my skills. So far I've made beanies, scarfs, hoods, arm warmers, headbands and a few other things. I haven't made any "large" pieces yet. I do have a few requests for afghans. Just haven't jumped on that yet. I've also made a few handbags too. Those are pretty easy. I use my loom a lot too for some of these things. The loom is nice because you don't have to worry about counting stitches or rows you can just watch tv and loom away. Last year I did purchase a scarf loom that I haven't used yet. I should make it goal to try that baby out this year. I will definitely have to do some research though.. I will have to learn a new cast on method. Currently I just use the ewrap method. 

Anyway. 

Are there any fellow yarnworkers out there?
What are you making for the fall/winter?
I hope you enjoyed my sweet but short post today!
Have a super week!

So here are just a few things I've made since I began knitting/crocheting a few years ago. 
I definitely plan to add more and more to this collection =)
