A Good Find: Free Crochet Baby Bonnet Pattern

I was roaming ravelry.com last night and decided to do a search for a free crochet bonnet pattern. A few results appeared, but one of them really stood out. I immediately got to work. I kept Roody up until 1:45 AM working on this little beauty, and I don't regret it.

My New Favorite Thing: Chunky Newborn Hats!

I was on Facebook a couple days ago. One of my favorite newborn photographers in the whole entire world posted a beautiful photo (as usual) but I saw it differently. A prop that she used was so lovely, and she linked to the creator. It was a knitting page. BOOOOO!!! lol

Anyway, a lightbulb went off in my head--I originally started this "business" to create props for newborn photographers to use. Why did I stop?

I decided to continue about my day. I was on Instagram later and noticed the cutest little chunky hat. I almost bought the pattern for it, but then I looked closer. It was the shell stitch! I CAN DO THE SHELL STITCH! So I immediately got to work. This is what I came up with:

Remember The Shelly-Anne Hat Pattern that I wrote a couple weeks ago? Well, it's just that. Expect I used bulky yarn, made 22 rows for the ribbing and 32 sc for the top border. Then I did a progressive "decrease."

Experimenting with Colors: Mixed Texture Striped Hat Pattern

I follow some amazing crochet/knitting pages on Instagram. Every time they post a cute hat, I get jealous. ESPECIALLY if it was knitted, because I know I can't make anything remotely close to that. So I've take it upon myself to become creative with my hats. The ones I've made so far are meh. I want something that looks really cool.

New Obsession: Hailey Headband by TinderBox!

Something amazing happened last night: I was going through Tinderbox's store and stumbled upon the Haily Headband. My friend suggested I make headbands a couple weeks ago, and I'd been looking for the perfect one. Well, ladies and gents, I found it!

In the making: Pepperoni Pizza Hat

My friend Jay texted me a couple weeks ago asking me if I could make her a pizza beanie. This girl is crazy. I searched all over the internet and couldn't find a pattern, so now I have to make one up! Here's the finished product.

Modified Pattern: Stepping Texture Hat for Babies!

So I joined a group on Facebook called "Crochet Addict." Why on earth did I go and do that?? HAHA! Now I'm even more addicted to crocheting. But the good news is that these ladies have got my creative juices flowing. Their amazing work has got me wanting to create something. So guess what I did. I took this pattern from yarnspirations.com and turned it into this:

Materials:
Color A: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn Taupe
Color B: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Yarn Grey Marble
Size 6mm crochet needle

Note: Jaden has a lot of hair, so the thick brim is perfect for him. For a thinner brim, chain less. Also, I did 60 rows because that fits his head perfectly. If you need to increase or decrease rows, do so in multiples of 10.
