This photo does the project no justice - it's a very soft draping dress that should look great on. It's a good way to use up leftover yarn.

While I think this will be very cute on, it wasn't particularly easy. I improvised the body of the design after several attempts to figure out the stitch sequence.

Finally - a vaguely masculine baby sweater! I played up the 70s colors.

This is the "Sweet Yoke" pattern by Claire Collier, available on Etsy.

This project took forever. It's fairly large - probably big enough for a 2 year old - and uses a fine sock yarn. The pattern isn't very clear, but I'm pleased with the final result.

Hook: 5.0 mm (H)
Yarn: Filatura Lanarota Fashion Toes, 3.5 skeins

This is a vintage pattern, circa 1949. It's quite tiny (more of a shirt than a dress), but very cute.

Yarn: Lane Cervinia Sicilia

Here's a recent project (see ravelry for alternate color variations. It works up quickly. I had some trouble getting the sizing exactly right in pairs - counting the border rows for consistency is important.

Hook: 6.5 mm (K)

It turns out planning a wedding is time consuming. I'm glad to be back to a normal life, and will start paying a little more attention to my crochet projects. More posts to come tomorrow!

I love this pattern, the finished hat is cozy and extremely cute. Using TLC Amore, I reduced the number of ribs to 13 (from 15) for a standard fit.

Fun pattern - I strung the coasters together as a chain for holiday decoration. The leaves themselves are a bit small for coaster use.

I love the final results of this project - a board book made of a series of reform crocheted squares. I made up each pattern and used yarn scraps in a wide range of colors.

Pattern: Feather and Fan Scarf by Elisa Purnell (available on Ravelry)

Hook: 5.0 mm (H)
Yarn: Filatura Lanarota Fashion Toes, Color 21, 2 skeins

Pattern modified into a cowl. I'm pleased with the results but would recommend a different hook/yarn configuration to see more of the pattern detail.

A fun little experiment - I made this free form, attaching the watermelon slice as a pocket on the front. The skirt was worked from the bottom up, with a button tab waistband around the center and adjustable straps.

Pattern: Baby Hoodie & Hat by Caron
Hook: 6.0 mm (J)
Yarn: Target Knitting Boucle Yarn

This came out better than I expected. Easy pattern. I’m not sure the hat and sweater are the same size - hat looks fairly small. I removed the hood.

I love the results of this scarf. It's worked in a circle, so you can wear it without worrying about the ends dragging. Pattern available on ravelry: Scalloped Eternity Scarf by Candace's Closet.

Another baby project - a classic bonnet. Not exactly my style, but I think it could be a practical dress-up hat. Very simple pattern, easy to complete in under two hours.

I've been working on several random patterns saved in my ravelry queue. This is the "Going Home Dress", free pattern. It's cute but very, very tiny and not very practical. The pattern was a bit hard to follow. Would be a good doll outfit.

Perfect for winter, this pattern was very easy to follow and quite cute. You can find it on Ravelry: Toddler Ankle Boots by Mon Petit Violon ($3.99). There are also a number of other variants online that would be easy modifications - striped versions, ruffle edging at the top, colored sole.

Here's another cowl - this time an over-the-shoulder number. It's very simple - 4 rows of sc, 1 row trc, then repeat to desired length. Or in my case, you run out of yarn.
