A friend commissioned these gloves for her daughter recently, so I searched for the pattern everywhere. I could not find the one that I liked so this is my version.
Materials:
Black Yarn - light worsted weight
3.00 mm crochet hook
Scissors, needle
Notes:
Starting chain is multiples of 6
Take care not to twist the starting chain when joining.
Glove is worked in the round, joining at the end of each row with a sl st
Be sure to keep trying your glove on to make sure it fits and it is long enough
Special stitches used:
V-stitch: 2 double crochet in the same stitch
Crocodile Stitch: 5 double crochet, chain 1, 5 double crochet around posts of V- stitch. There is a very helpful tutorial here from Bhooked: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BRKEfpIYmk
Steps and Procedure:
- Chain 36, slip stitch to beginning chain to make a large ring, be sure not to twist the chain! (Starting chain is multiples of 6, this makes a medium size glove)
R1: chain 3, DC in the same stitch, chain 1, skip 2 chains, 1 DC in the next, ch1, skip 2 chains, *2 DC in the next (V-Stitch made), ch1, sk2, 1 DC, ch1, sk2* continue from * to * around. Slip stitch to top of beginning ch3. (6 V stitch, 6 dc)
R2: (crocodile stitch row) chain 3, DC 4 around the post of the chain 3 from the previous round working in a downwards direction, chain 1, DC 5 around the post of the next DC in the V-stitch from the previous row going back up (crocodile stitch made), slip stitch into next DC, *crocodile stitch around next V-stitch (5DC, ch1, 5DC), slip stitch in DC*, repeat around (6 crocodile stitch, 6 slip stitch)
NOTE: On the final slip stitch slip through the beginning chain 3 from the first crocodile stitch and the DC, to anchor it to the round.
R3: Chain 3, DC in the same stitch, chain 1, *DC in the middle of the crocodile stitch between the two sides of the scale, chain 1, V-stitch in the sl st, ch1* repeat from * to * around, slip stitch to top of chain 3. (6 V-stitch, 6 DC)
R4: Repeat Row 2 (Crocodile stitch row)
R5: Repeat Row 3 (Foundation stitch row)
R6: Repeat R2 (CS Row)
R7: Repeat R3
R8: Repeat R2 (CS Row)
R9: Repeat R3
R10: Repeat R2 (CS Row)
You should now have 5 rows of crocodile stitch, test the fit!
R11: Ch3 and 2DC in same stitch, *3DC in middle of scale, 3 DC in Sl St* repeat x4. Chain 6 and skip the final crocodile stitch, this creates the thumb hole. Slip stitch to the first DC, not the starting chain, to join. (11 3DC, chain 6)
R12: Slip stitch to next space, chain 3, DC in same space (between DC cluster), *3 DC in next space* repeat x8, in chain 6 space do 3DC,ch1,3DC, DC in first space, join with a sl st to the top of the beginning ch3. (12 3DC clusters)
R13: sl st to next space, ch3, DC in same space, 2DC in next space, 3 DC in next space, *2DC in next 2 spaces, 3 DC in next* repeat x3, join with sl st in top of ch3. (8 2DC, 4 3DC)
R14: sl st to next space, ch3, DC in same space, *2DC in next space* repeat x11 (12 2DC)
R15: sl st to next space, ch3, DC in same space, skip next space, 3DC in next 3 spaces, sk next space, 3DC in next 3 spaces, skip next space, 3DC in next 2 spaces, 1DC in starting spacer, join to top of ch3. (9 3DC)
R16 – 23: slip stitch to next space, ch3, DC in same stitch, 3DC in each space around, 1DC in starting space, join to top of ch3. (9 3DC) – to make gloves longer, add more of these rows
R24: ch3, DC in same stitch and in each stitch around, join to top of ch3 (27 DC)
R25: ch3, FPDC in 1st stitch, BPDC in next stitch, repeat pattern around to create ribbed edge, making sure you end with FPDC
Materials:

I have been wanting to make this Mermaid hat/scarf combo for a while now, and have finally had a chance recently to find the time to undergo this project. This was so very time consuming:( The project is not too complicated for a seasoned crocheter, so if you are a beginner crocheter I do not recommend this project. It does take up a lot of yarn, so surround yourself with at least 3 balls of yarn, find a quite place enjoy...
1. mermaid hat
Materials:
pink, purple, magenta yarn
3.50 and 4.00 mm crochet hook
Special Stitches:

2. mermaid scarf
- have found a great youtube video tutorial to make this Mermaid Scarf. It uses 5 DC instead of 4 DC clusters for the crocodile stitch and a 2DC instead of the 1DC-2DC combo for the foundation row. Check it out, I have used it as a basis for my Mermaid Scarf pattern entirely!
Materials:
5.00 mm crochet hook
pink, magenta and purple yarn
Steps and Procedure:
- start with purple yarn and follow the instructions of the video
- change the color every 3rd row (at every foundation row)
- I have made 24 rows, 2 tassles and a fin which I have sewn onto the scarf
Here is the pattern:

I saw these Snowman fingerless gloves, and I had to make them for the Winter Concert fundraising I was involved in at my school last week. They are super easy to make and a perfect gift for a child. These gloves fit a small adult hand, so if you'd like them smaller use a smaller hook. Here it is, the pattern...
Materials:

beanie and cowl set
A friend commissioned a beanie and a cowl recently. She did not commission a particular pattern or/and design so I was free to play around with different stitches. The only thing my friend wanted was for the beanie and cowl to be thick and sturdy. So, I thought and thought, and finally came up with the pattern after hours of playing around with it. So, what can be more sturdy then a Single Crochet and a Slip Stitch... Try Back Loop SC and Front Loop SC with a combo of a Slip Stitch brim... Here is the pattern...
Materials:
7.00 and 8.00 mm crochet hook
three strands of worsted weight yarn (I chose pink, light pink and grey)
stitch marker, needle, scissors
Steps and Procedure:
1. Making the brim of the Beanie
1. with 7.00 mm crochet hook and three strands of yarn ch 6
2. sl st down the chain line starting with the 2nd chain (5 sl st), ch 1 and turn
3.- 86. make 1 sl st in every stitch but only in the Back Loops, ch 1 and turn
- I made 86 rows of sl st, check periodically if it fits your head. Make sure that it is snug, because it will stretch.
- put the two short sides of the brim together and sl st them together (5 sl st)
1a. Making the body of the Beanie
- change to 8.00 mm crochet hook
1. ch 1 and make 1 SC in every row around the brim of the beanie and 1 SC at the row where you connected the 2 shorter sides (44 SC), sl st to the 1st SC made
2. SC in the same stitch, Front Loop SC in the next st, Back Loop SC in the next stitch. Continue repeating FLSC and BLSC until the end of the row, finishing with the FLSC (use he stitch marker to mart the start of your rounds) (1 SC at the joining edge, 43 FLSC/BLSC)
3-20. continue with the SC in the 1st st of the round, and FLSC-BLSC stitch combo
- fasten off after the beanie is long enough, I stopped at round 20
- flip the beanie on the wrong side and draw the yarn through the ending SC stitches tightening the ending and closing the hole
- close the hole tightly
- make a pom pom and sew it onto the top of the beanie
2. Making the Cowl
- with the 8.00 mm crochet hook and 3 strands of worsted weight yarn
1. ch 66, SC down the chain line, sl st to the 1st ch made
2. ch 1 and make Front Loop SC in the 1st stitch and Back Loop SC in the next stitch (continue until you have made all 66 SC, ending with the BLSC
3-25. continue with the FLSC and BLSC pattern using the stitch marker to mark the start of your round
- continue until your cowl is long enough, I stopped at R25
- sl st to the 1st SC made and weave in the ends
- my beanie was 25 cm long (without the pompom) and my cowl was 33 cm wide and 27 cm long

Unicorn hooded scarf with pockets
A friend commissioned this Unicorn hooded scarf with pockets the other day. This has been a project I wanted to tackle even before I was asked to make one, so this was a perfect opportunity to get my creative juices flowing.
I have found this great website, that I have used as a basis and an inspiration for my project.
www.ladybehindthecurtain.com/unicorn-hooded-scarf-pockets-crochet-pattern/
I made the Hoodie to be thicker than the one in the link, and I made a horn bigger. And, I had one little preschooler a very happy customer:) This was a simple project, the only thing that took a lot was knotting the unicorn mane onto the hat. But, it was so worth the trouble! Here is the pattern and the instructions....
Materials:
3.5 mm, 5.00 mm, 6.00 mm crochet hook
beige, pink, blue, purple yarn
scissors, needle
- made to fit a 3-5 year old child
Steps and Procedure:
1. Hoodie:
- with double strands of beige yarn and 5.00 crochet hook, ch 40
R1. HDC in 2nd chain and down the chain line (38 HDC), ch 1 and turn
R2. HDC in 1st st, 2 HDC in 2nd st (repeat around), don not make an INC in the last st, but end with 1 HDC (56 HDC in total), ch 1 and turn
R3-R22. HDC in every stitch down the line (56 HDC), ch 1 and turn
- you should have a rectangle now that is 20 cm long (I made this for a preschooler so I stopped at R22 and 20 cm length)
- turn the rectangle to the side and make 1 SC in the same st and in each st on the side (22 SC), making 2 SC in the the last corner stitch
- again, turn to the side and continue making 1 SC in the the ch line, make 2 SC in both corner stitches (38 SC, with 2 SC in corner makes 40 SC)
- again, turn to the side and continue making 1 SC on the other side of the hoodie (22 SC), make 2 SC in the last st, and sl st the first SC made
- fold in half (shorter sides together) and make 20 SC (through both sides) to connect the sides, fasten off
2. Scarf
- with double strands of beige yarn and 5.00 mm crochet hook, ch 21
R1. HDC in the second ch and down the chain line (20 HDC), ch 1 and turn
R2-R132. continue making 1 HDC in each stitch (20 HDC), ch 1 and turn
- my scarf was now 141 cm long, so I decided to stop
- the length of the scarf will depend on the length of the arms of the person you are making it for
- SC down the both sides of the scarf, making sure you make 2 SC in each corner
- fold the scarf at R12 and sl st the shorter sides together on both ends
- sl st the hoodie to the middle of the scarf, fasten off and weave in the yarn ends
- using the triple strands of yarn (blue, pink, purple) and a 6.00 mm crochet hook, make a row of SC down the edges of the scarf and a hoodie including the pocket edges

snowman beanie
This beanie is the second beanie that I have decided to make for my students to wear for the Winter Concert this year. My little Preschoolers were singing a song about a Snowman, and I thought it might be more than fitting to make them all a Snowman hat to wear at the performance. I made a few in different colors, and my kiddos looked so cute wearing them. The pattern and the original idea is from RepeatCrafterMe, but I decided to change it slightly, and to make a beanie out of it, not a ear-flap hat as in the pattern.
This is the original link:www.repeatcrafterme.com/2016/01/crochet-snowman-hat.html
And here is my version of the pattern.....
Materials:

needle, scissors
Steps and Procedure:
- Beanie:

8-9: FPDC in first, BPDC in next, repeat around, join, chain 2 (56 DC)
- change color to white yarn
10-15: DC in each around, join, chain 2 (56 DC)
16: SC in each st around, sl st to 1st SC made (56 SC)
- fasten off, sew in the ends
- Carrot Nose:
- with orange yarn and 4.00 mm crochet hook
- Chain 6, Slip Stitch in second chain from hook, SC, HDC, DC, DC, ch 1 and turn
- continue to make 1 SC in the next 5 st, ch 2, sl st in 2nd ch, continue to make 1 SC in the next 5 st on the other side of the nose, until you reach the 1st st made
- embroider the smile
- sew on the carrot nose

Being a Music teacher at my school, I am responsible for Christmas concerts and for preparing the kiddos for performances. This year I decided to make my 6-year-olds Elf hats to go along the "Groovin' Elf" song they are singing for the Concert. They thought it was the best thing ever, especially when I brought in the hats for them to try them on! Oh, what a joy! My kiddos were the most adorable elves I have ever seen! Anyways, the original pattern is from makeanddocrew.com/free-crochet-elf-hat-pattern-with-ears/
I have changed a pattern a lot, but this is not my original idea, so I am giving the credit to Jess from Make & Do Crew. Thank you!

These Penguin mittens are designed for the kids, but I am sure that there are adults amongst us who find them adorable and would be willing to wear them. I have made these mittens for a 8-year old neighbor, and she thought they are the best thing ever! Bottom line, this is the reason why I got into crocheting and making crocheted items - to give them away and to make someone happy, like my little neighbor.
This is not my pattern, and here is the original link:
www.lionbrand.com/crochet-pattern-penguin-mittens.html
I have followed the pattern completely, and it is one of the best patterns I have had a privilege to use, so clearly written and explained, it literally took me an hour to make these mittens. I did use the glue gun to glue the googly eyes onto the face, and I did glue on the scarf (just so it does not come undone and become a hassle).
So, this is how my Penguin mittens turned out.....

"Brain" beanie revisited
I have had a "brain" beanie commissioned again. This time I decided to revisit it and to make a few changes. This time I used double strands of yarn, and I used fabric glue to glue the brain coils onto the beanie instead of sewing them on. The pattern in super easy, and the only thing that is long and boring is crocheting the brain coil tubes - oh my, so long..... But, here it is - the Brain Beanie revisited....
Materials:
6.00 mm crochet hook
double strands of pink yarn
scissors, needle
Steps and Procedures:
Size: teen-adult

the "Grinch" beanie
It is beginning to look like Fall/Winter in my part of the world. The days are getting shorter, colder, windier. It will be almost time to think about Christmas crochet projects, which I love immensely!
I have a friend who absolutely despises the "modernization" and "commercialization" of Christmas and all that it implies. In our little "circle of trust" we lovingly call our friend - the Grinch, as he likes to refer to himself as the Grinch during Christmas and Winter season. This dear friend moved away recently, and this will be the first Christmas that we will not be seeing him. But, I have come up with the idea of making him a Grinch beanie to tell him I am thinking of him. So, here is the pattern.....

I wanted to make a “gag-gift” hat for a friend for his birthday. I found the picture of this super funny chicken amigurumi hat that I wanted to try to make. So I researched and found these awesome websites with free chicken hat patterns, that I kind of combined, changed, modified and made to suit my needs. These are the original websites I used as inspiration:
www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mutze-huhn-auf-leinwand
amigurumi.today/amigurumi-funny-rooster-crochet-pattern/
This was a challenging project, but well worth making. The earflap hat itself took only an hour to make, but making the chicken details and sewing them on took a lot of time. So, if you are up to some challenge, and would like to make to make a hat that would be a fun and funny gift hat for someone in your life, this is a project for you….. So, here is the complete pattern:
Materials:
4.50 mm crochet hook (for the hat and chicken legs)
3.00 mm crochet hook (for the smaller chicken details)
White, black, yellow, orange, red worsted weight yarn
Scissors, sewing needle

cable stitch beanie with a pompom
Wow! This was a big project. Usually it takes me 2-3 hours to make a hat, but this project was a big undertaking for a hat - it actually took me 7 hours. I have never done a cable stitch, and this was definitely a learning experience for me. As a first time cable stitch maker, I think this hat looks great. I followed the pattern from this website:
luqyandmary.blogspot.ba/2017/02/crochet-cable-beanie-written-pattern.html?m=1
Materials:
4.00 mm crochet hook
2 different colored yarns (I used grey and a variegated bluish yarn)
stitch marker is a must
Notes:
- I have never used FPDTRC stitch so this was a learning experience for me as well. When you see it in the pattern it is NOT a typo as I first thought:)
- I have also made a ch 2 at the beginning of each round, and DID NOT count it as a stitch
- I will post the original pattern here, please note that I have made the brim with only ch 77 (it fit my head the best)
- you must make a beginning chain to be multiples of 11
- Arm yourself with the stitch marker, a printed copy of the pattern, and a pencil since you will need it for a successful completion of the project.
Steps and Procedures:
- This is the youtube video that might help you learn the cable stitch:

slouchy beanie
I have been super busy crocheting these past few weekends for commissioned work. I have made my "pride and joy" Cat Hooded Blanket, and most recently the Cat Hat #2 project has taken up my free weekend time. So, this weekend I have decided to make things for myself. Since it it has been super cold, snowy and wintery here in my part of the world I have decided to make these super cute and comfortable hats/beanies. The first one I made on Friday night (during an evening marathon of the Game of Thrones, which I have been obsessing about) is this Slouchy Beanie. I followed the pattern of this awesome lady from www.cookiesnobcrochet.com/home/3-ml-slouchy-beanie
Her pattern calls for larger hook, but I have used the 4.00 mm crochet hook. She also does the ch 1 at the beginning of each round, I chose not to and used a stitch marker. Next time, I would use a one color yarn for the pretty pattern to be seen, and would have chained less then 84 sc as she indicates at the beginning. Here is the pattern with my changes:
Materials:
1 skein of yarn of your choice (I used this variegated yarn 4 ply)
4.00 mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle
stitch markers
Steps and Procedures:
Brim:
- using the 4.00 mm crochet hook
Ch 8
R1: hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each st across, turn (7)
R2: ch 1, hdc across in the 3rd loop (see note above), turn (7)
Repeat row 2 until the brim is your desired length. Make it as long as you need to fit comfortably on your head, but please keep in mind that the brim will stretch a tiny bit with use over time.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail of yarn for sewing. Place the two short ends of the brim together and sl st them together.
Body of the hat:
- using the 4.00 mm crochet hook
- use a stitch marker, no sl st and/or ch1 at the start of every round
R1: Work 84 sc evenly across the top of the brim, with the right side facing out.
R2-3: sc across (84)
R4: hdc across in flo (84)
R5-7: hdc across in 3rd loop (84)
R8: sc across in 3rd loop (84)
R9: dc across (84)
R10: (sc in 1st, fpdc in 2nd stitch) repeat around (84)
R11: sc around (84)
R12: (sc in 1st, fpdc in 2nd stitch) repeat around (84)
Note: The fpdc from round 12 should be worked into the fpdc from round 10
R13: sc around (84)
R14-23: Repeat rounds 4-13
R24-28: Repeat rounds 4-8
R29: sc around (84)
R30-34: hdc around (84)
- turn the hat inside out for closing:
The closing at the top of this hat is done like this: keeping the loop on your hook fold the top of the hat in half, with the hook in the center. Ss into the stitch opposite your hook, creating a figure 8-type shape. Pinch the far end of the "figure 8" to the center and ss into it; repeat on the other end of the "figure 8". This will create a shape that resembles an "x" (with four arms). Ss into the center point of each "arm." Continue to ss into the opposite ends of loops formed until the top of the hat is closed. I have additionally threaded a long piece of yarn back and forth through the top round of the hat and then pulled tight to close.
- turn the hat to the right side and you are ready to wear it:)
Notes: Next time, I will....
1. use the same 4.00 mm hook
2. will try to do sl st and ch 1 as indicated in the original pattern
3. shorten the indicated R30-34 of HDC since the hat is too-slouchy for my taste
4. make a smaller beginning chain (less then 84 as indicated in the original pattern)

Crochet crocodile stitch gloves
I have been wanting to make these gloves for a while now but never got around to do it. I have recently found this amazing Youtube tutorial where this lady explains and guides through the whole process of making the gloves. This is the link:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltmdwXnFUSc
Thank you Kiki Crochet for the pattern:)
I will let you watch and follow the pattern since it is done so very beautifully just follow it from beginning to the end and you'll complete your gloves in no time.
Materials:
4.00 crochet hook
yarn of your choice (I used 4 ply variegated yarn)
Notes:
The pattern can be found on Kiki Crochet Youtube link.
- I chained 32 (in the pattern she says 36 but it just depends on the size of your hand/palm)
- I made 7 rows of crocodile stitch
- each row of crocodile stitch had 5 shells (shell=5DC+ch1+5DC)
- I made 6 rows of "granny squares"
- each row of "granny squares" had 10 2DC-clusters
- at the end I did 1 row of SC+piccot stitch
For more explanation and the actual pattern watch the video tutorial:

Crochet "Brain" Beanie
A colleague recently commissioned a "brain beanie" from me. I thought long and hard on how to manage such an endeavor, looked all over the internet for a pattern, found some ideas, and came up with my own. It is not essentially a difficult project to make, but it does require some time to make the brain coils/tubing. I have learned a new technique called an i-cord which is relatively easy to make but does require a sort of finger dexterity. Anyways, here is the pattern..... This hat is an teen-adult size (Head Circumference = 22″ – 23″ • Hat Circumference = 20.5″ • Hat Height = 8.25″)
Materials:
4.00 mm and 8.00 mm crochet hooks
pink yarn
needle, scissors
stitch marker
dark contrasting yarn (to divide the beanie in 2 "brain" halves)
Steps and Procedures:
Basic Beanie:
- use a stitch marker, DO NOT sl st at the end
- using 4.00 mm crochet hook
Round 1: Ch 2, make 8 hdc in the 2nd chain from hook (8)
Round 2: Ch 1, make 2 hdc in each stitch around (16)
Round 3: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next stitch* repeat around (24)
Round 4: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 2 stitches* repeat around (32)
Round 5: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 3 stitches* repeat around (40)
Round 6: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 4 stitches* repeat around (48)
Round 7: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 5 stitches* repeat around (56)
Round 8: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 6 stitches* repeat around (64)
Round 9: Ch 1, in first stitch *make 2 hdc, hdc in next 7 stitches* repeat around (72)
Round 10 to 19: Ch 1, hdc in each stitch around, join (72)
Round 20-23: FPHDC in first stitch, BPHDC in next, repeat around (84)
I cord:
- using an 8.00 mm crochet hook
- Ch 3. Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yarn over and draw up a loop, insert hook into next ch, yarn over and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook).
- Row 1: Drop 2 loops from hook. Hold onto the dropped loops with your non-hook hand so they don’t come undone. Yarn over and draw through remaining loop on hook. Insert hook into first dropped loop, yarn over and draw through (2 loops on hook). Insert hook into second dropped loop, yarn over and draw through (3 loops on hook).
Repeat Row 1 for desired length of i-cord. (I made 2 that were each 2 m long). Cut the yarn, leaving a long yarn end. Draw end through all 3 loops on hook and pull tight to fasten off.
I found this website super helpful to learn how to crochet an i-cord:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjXsRkr1oWo
Next time, I would make an i-cord with chaining 4 and still use an 8.00 mm crochet hook. That way it is thicker and looks better.

Attaching the tubing to the beanie:
I would recommend you loosely run a line of dark contrasting yarn down the very center of your beanie to divide your “brain” in half and use as a stitching guide. It can be very easy to get off center when you are dealing with very long pieces!
Pick a spot near the back of your hat, just above the brim and attach the yarn tubing. Randomly loop back and forth in rows and loops like the coils on a human brain. One long tube should be attached only on the right side, and the other long tube should be attached only on the left side. The human brain is divided into halves, and they do not visibly cross, that is why there are two separate tubes! Once the entire tube is stitched down, weave the end into the inside of the beanie a few times to ensure it stays in place.
Materials:
4.00 mm and 8.00 mm crochet hooks
pink yarn
needle, scissors
stitch marker
dark contrasting yarn (to divide the beanie in 2 "brain" halves)
Steps and Procedures:

Crochet "Little red hen" hat
Being a Music teacher at my school I am always involved in creating, preparing and rehearsing some kind of a classroom Musical or a performance. This month I have been working on a Musical "Little Red Hen" and have been crocheting hats as a part of the kids costumes. So, here is the simple pattern for the Little Red Hen hat. The inspiration and the basic pattern is from Repeat Crafter Me chick hat, which I have changed to fit my needs. So, here it is....
Materials:
5.00 mm crochet hook
4.00 mm crochet hook
red, white, orange, dark red yarn
googly eyes
hot glue gun
Steps and Procedure:
Basic Hat (fits 5-7 year old child)
- with 5.00 mm hook
- ch 2 at the beginning of each Round DOES NOT count as a stitch
- with yellow yarn
R1: Make a Magic Ring, ch 2 and make 11 DC, join to 1st DC, ch 2

Another character in the Musical I am working on in my classroom is the chick. I have 6 chicks in my class, and I have made hats for all of them. The pattern is a version of the pattern I found on Repeat Crafter Me. I have tweaked it a bit, and the chick hats turned out adorably:)
Here is the pattern.....
Materials:
5.00 mm crochet hook
4.00 mm crochet hook
yellow, white, orange yarn
googly eyes
hot glue gun
Steps and Procedure:
Basic Hat (fits 5-7 year old child)
- with 5.00 mm hook

R5: Make 2 DC in first stitch, 1 DC in the next 10 stitches (Repeat), join, ch 2 (48 DC)
R6: Make 2 DC in first stitch, 1 DC in the next 11 stitches (Repeat), join, ch 2 (52 DC)
R7: Make 2 DC in first stitch, 1 DC in the next 12 stitches (Repeat), join, ch 2 (56 DC)
R8: Make 2 DC in first stitch, 1 DC in the next 13 stitches (Repeat), join, ch 2 (60 DC)

Eyes (make 2):
- with 5.00 mm hook and white yarn

R2: 2 SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
R3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next (18 SC)
I made an extra 2 SC in the last stitch of round 3 just to give the eye a slightly more oval look. Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat.
Beak:
- with 5.00 mm crochet hook and orange yarn
Chain 4, SC in second chain from hook, HDC in next, DC in next, continue to SC around all edges making a SC + chain 1 + SC in the 3 corners. Fasten off leaving long tail.
- When weaving in the end from your magic ring (beginning of the hat), loop it through the top 3 times. Just like you would weave in an end, but leave it in a loose loop instead of pulling it tightly through. THEN after you have made the loops, make sure the loose end is securely woven in and fastened off. This creates the little “feathers” on the top of the baby chicks head.
- sew the eyes and the beak onto the hat
- use the hot glue gun to glue the googly eyes on

unicorn ear flap hat
It is a season of giving and good will. I have decided to make another cute Unicorn hat for my neighbor's little 10-year-old girl. I have already given her the Minnie Mouse ear flap hat, and boy, was she happy. Whenever I see her she is always wearing it! She is ever so grateful and thankful when I make things for her, and it makes me very excited to make her happy like this! It truly is a season of giving and being grateful for the gifts we all possess.
I found this awesome pattern on www.5littlemonsters.com/2017/10/crocheted-unicorn-hat-with-flowers.html?m=1
I have used the pattern sparingly, since the size mentioned in the link were meant for a 5-year-old, and I needed it for an 8-year-old. So, to make things easier, I used the same pattern I used for the Minnie Mouse ear flap hat and it works great. The flowers and the horn are from the link above. So, here it is, the pattern......

I found this awesome pattern on www.5littlemonsters.com/2017/10/crocheted-unicorn-hat-with-flowers.html?m=1
I have used the pattern sparingly, since the size mentioned in the link were meant for a 5-year-old, and I needed it for an 8-year-old.

unicorn hoodie
A friend commissioned a Unicorn Hoodie for her little girl the other day. As looked for the patterns on line, I found nothing to my liking. I only found this one for the textured baby hoodie, which I kind of liked, but the size was too small.
www.ochrepome.com/blog/textured-toddler-hood
I changed it a bit to fit the size I wanted and needed and I made the perfect hoodie to fit a 10 year old girl. So here is the pattern:
Materials:
- 7.00 mm crochet hook
- white, blue, pink, purple yarn
- needle, scissors
- stitch marker
Steps and Procedures:
1. Hood
- work with double strands of white yarn
Chain 60
1. 2 dc in 4th chain from hook, skip 2, (sc, 2 dc) in next chain, skip 2. Repeat pattern to end. Sc in last chain. Chain 2. Turn.
2. 2 dc in first stitch, skip 2, (sc, 2 dc) in next stitch. Repeat to end. Sc in last stitch. Chain 2 turn.
3. Repeat row 2 to 22 rows total. Fasten off yarn.
4. Fold in half and slip stitch the top seams together to form a hoodie.
2. Scarf
- work with double strands of white yarn
Chain 84
Work through the same steps as a hoodie until you have worked 9 rows.
Fasten off yarn.
- Count 4 "puffs" in on scarf and, lining up the 4th puff on the scarf with the 1st puff on the edge of the hood, slip stitch scarf to hood.
- Work a row of sc all the way round making sure to make 2 sc in each corner. Fasten off and weave in ends.
3. Ears
- work with double strands of yarn and 7.00 mm crochet hook
- make 4 ears following this pattern:
Chain 5, HDC in 2nd chain from hook and in remaining chains, ch 1, turn (4 HDC)
Row 2: 2 HDC in first stitch, HDC in next two, 2 HDC in last stitch, ch 1, turn (6 HDC)
Row 3-5: HDC in each stitch across, ch 1, turn (6 HDC)
Row 6: HDC Decrease, HDC in next two, HD decrease, ch 1, turn
Row 7: HDC in each stitch across, ch 1, turn (4 HDC)
Row 8: Make 2 HDC decreases
- make 2 ears and connect them together by make SC through both ears. Join to the second SC (this will cause the ear to cup).
Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat. Sew onto hat about one row away from the horn.
4. Horn
- using blue yarn and 4.00 mm crochet hook
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 4 SC inside ring, do not join, continue to SC in rounds. Use a stitch marker.
R2: SC in each stitch around (4 SC)
R3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around (6 SC)
R4: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
R5: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (8 SC)

4. Hair
- cut out blue, pink, purple yarn for the hair
- start with the area around the horn and make knots all around the horn
- I also went through the stitches at the seam of the hoodie (where I slip stitched the sides together)
This project was so much fun to make. I wanted to badly to make one for myself, because, let's face it - who does not want a little bit of unicorn magic in their life?

"Minnie mouse" EAR FLAP hat and scarf
1. minnie mouse hat
It is Fall/Winter season in my part of the world. Personally, I enjoy it so much more than Summer. Although I do love to wear the flip slops and the warmth of the sun, I enjoy Winter time temperatures more. The other day we had some snowfall and it made me immediately think of crocheting some hats and scarfs for friends and family. So I though of a family in my neighborhood and their little girl who is 8 years old. I wanted to make her something that an 8 year old girl would enjoy. And what little girl does not like Minnie Mouse and her adorable pink bow and mousy ears? I looked everywhere for the pattern but could not find one that fits my needs and desires. So here is the pattern. Crochet it, make it, enjoy it, give it away and make someone happy:) My little 8 year old neighbor thought it was the best thing ever!

Rustic Slouch crochet hat
This hat is a part of a scarf-hat combo found of this website:
littlemonkeyscrochet.com/rustic-slouch-crochet-pattern/
It is a beautiful pattern, and well worth making. I used the variegated yarn, and it turned out pretty cute. Although, I think when I make this hat again (and I definitely will) I will use a different color yarn, non-variegated. But, you can be the judge of it, check out my finished project and the original link posted above.
Materials:
- yarn of your choice (I used medium worsted variegated yarn)
- 6.00 mm hook (for the hat)
- 3.00 mm hook (for the base of the hat around the forehead)
- scissors, yarn needle, button
Steps and Procedures:
- for all the steps and procedures check out the original website where everything is explained in details. Thank you Little Monkeys Crochet for the pattern: littlemonkeyscrochet.com/rustic-slouch-crochet-pattern/

The "Hip hippo hat"
A friend commissioned a hippo hat for her little boy recently. I found this great pattern on Repeat Crafter Me. I made a few changes to fit my needs and here is my version of the pattern:
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn
– Size 3.5mm Crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle
– 2 small blue buttons
Steps and Procedures:
(remember that the ch2 at the beginning of each round DOES NOT count as a stitch)
R1 - make a Magic ring, ch 2, 11 DC in magic ring, join to first DC
R2 - ch 2, 2 DC in each around, join (22 DC)
R3 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next, repeat around, join (33 DC)
R4 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 2, repeat around, join (44 DC)
R5 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 10, repeat around, join (48 DC)
R6 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 11, join (52 DC)
R7 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 12, join (56 DC)
R8 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 13, join (60 DC)
R9 - ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 14, join (64 DC)
R10- ch 2, 2 DC in first, DC in next 15, join (68)
R11-15: ch 2, DC in each around, join (68 DC)
do not fasten off, begin on earflap as written below
Earflap 1:
Chain 1, SC in next 14, chain 1, turn
R2: SC decrease, SC in next 10, SC decrease, chain 1, turn
R3: SC across (12 SC)
R4: SC decrease, SC in next 8, SC decrease, chain 1, turn
R5: SC across (10 SC)
R6: SC decrease, SC in next 6, SC decrease, chain 1, turn
R7: SC across (8 SC)
R8: SC decrease, SC in next 4, SC decrease, chain 1, turn
R9: SC decrease, SC in next 2, SC decrease, chain 1, turn
R10: Make 2 SC decreases, chain 1, turn
R11: SC decrease, fasten off, weave in ends
Follow the same procedure for Earflap 2.
With accent color (I used blue), attach yarn and SC around the entire bottom edge of the hat (including earflaps). Fasten off and weave in ends.
Ears (Make 2):
R1: Chain 6, TC in 3rd chain from hook, DC in next two, SC in last, chain 1, turn
R2: SC around ear making 2 SC in each stitch along the top of ear (18 SC)
Stitch on ears where the hat creases when laid flat. I put mine between the 4th and 5th row from the top.
Eyes (Make 2):
- using white yarn - make a Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 3 DC + 2 SC + 3 DC + 2 SC all in ring. Pull tight and join to first DC.
Leave long tail to sew onto hat.
- using black yarn for the eye centers:
- make a MR and SC 5 inside
Snout:
R1: Chain 12, DC in 3rd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain. Make a total of 3 DC in last stitch. Now working on other side of chain, DC in each stitch and make 3 DC in last stitch. Join to first DC, chain 2.
R2: (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)-do that 4 times, 2 DC in next 3 stitches, (2 DC in first stitch, DC in next stitch)- do that 4 times, 2 DC in last 4 stitches. Join to first DC. (38 DC)
R3: ch 2, make 2 DC in the first stitch, make 1 DC in the next stitch (repeat around) (57 DC)
R4: slip stitch in the next 6 stitches, chain 3, DC in last chain, skip one stitch and join to next (this creates the nostril), slip stitch in the next 10 stitches, ch 3, DC in the 3rd chain, skip next stitch and join (creates the next another nostril)
Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat.
Sew buttons for nostril holes onto nostril area. I used blue buttons but you could use black or anything other color. Or you can leave them off completely.
Teeth (make 2):
Magic Ring, chain 3, make 3 DC in ring, chain 3 again and slip stitch to magic ring loop. Pull tight but don’t join.
Sew snout on top of teeth. It helps to make sure the bottom of the snout matches up with the bottom edge of the hat.
This hat was made to fit a child ages 5-10. If you want it thicker, I suggest using double strains of the same yarn. This pattern was super easy to follow. What is written here is my version and changes I made to suit my needs. You can find the original pattern here:

Simple Scarf
I wanted to update my list of School Spirit items to display and sell. Since I already have hats, I though it might be appropriate to have scarves as well. So, created this simple pattern that is beginner friendly and easy to do. It did take me a few hours to make it, but the pattern is so super simple to follow. So, here it is:
Materials:
5.00 mm crochet hook
4.00 mm crochet hook
2 different colored yarns
needle, scissors
Procedure:
- using a 5.00 mm hook chain 27
- make a HDC in the 3rd chain from the hook, and continue making 1 HDC in every stitch all the way down the chain (25 HDC), ch 2, turn
- make 1 HDC in every stitch (25 HDC) only in the Back Loop, ch 2 and turn (this creates a nice ridge effect, and makes a scarf pop a little)
- continue making 25 HDC (only in the Back Loop of every stitch), ch 2 and turning in every row (I made 110 rows)
- with a different color yarn and using a 4.00 mm hook make 1 SC in every stitch around, making sure you make 2 SC in each corner stitch.
- weave in the ends
- cut 56 pieces of yarn (15 cm long) using the same color you single crocheted around
- using 2 pieces of string together make a tassel and attach 14 tassels along the shorter edges
- I added my School's emblem to fit my needs. My scarf measures 15 cm x 146 cm. If you want to make it wider (mine is 15 cm) make a longer chain to start with and/or if you want it longer (mine is 146 cm with the tassels) crochet more rows (I made 110 rows)
And this is what my scarf looks like:
Materials:
5.00 mm crochet hook
4.00 mm crochet hook
2 different colored yarns
needle, scissors
Procedure:
- using a 5.00 mm hook chain 27

Puff Stitch Slouchy Beanie
I saw this marvelous beanie tutorial and I just had to make it - two beanies to be exact! This lady has a website with the written tutorial, but I suggest a youtube tutorial - it is easier to follow.......
www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvK8FjJ4pBU
This is my version of the pattern - slightly altered to fit my needs..... my suggestion is to watch the video....it helped me a great deal.....
Materials
-One skein of worsted weight yarn
-Size 4.00 mm crochet hook
-Tapestry needle
Headband:
CH 11
SC in second st from hook and all the way across in front loop only, turn, ch 1
SC enough rows for this band to wrap all the way around your head – mine wound up being 72 rows! (don't forget to ch 1 at the end of every row of 10 SC)
SL ST the two ends of the band together to make what looks like a thick headband
Body of the beanie:
SC around entire band – so 72 sts for me, one SC in each row of the band
SL ST to join
CH 2
ROW A : *PUFF ST in first SC, CH 1 & skip next SC*, repeat from * all the way around (36 puffs for me)
SL ST to join
ROW B : Skip first PUFF ST, *PUFF ST in gap where CH 1 lies, CH 1 and skip next SC*, repeat from * all the way around
Alternate rows A & B until you end up 16 rows total.
Finishing off:
Hook it at the center back of your hat (the seam!). SC the front center of your hat to the back center.
Pinch in the sides and SC these to the center, the top of your beanie should start to look like a star shape.
Pinch in each of those “points of the star” (4 of them) and SC these to the center also.
Finish off and sew in all your tails. Turn your hat inside out.
And these are my beanies..... cute, fast, simple, adorable.......

Simple Ribbed Beanie
This was the fastest, simplest beanie I have ever made.... and I have made many beanies.......
The pattern is super easy, there are many versions on the internet, and here is mine......the hat is a crocheted rectangle, worked in DC and a rib effect, that’s sewn together along the shorter edges and then gathered at the top!
Materials:
4.00 mm crochet hook
yarn (I have used a double strain of a very thin yarn I have gotten as a gift recently. The yarn is so super fine and thin that this is the only thing I could do to put it to good use - double it and make it into a beanie.... the yarn has some sparkles on it and it makes my beanie extra cute and sweet......)
- Chain 42
- DC into the 3rd chain from the hook and all the way down making 40 DC only in the back loops, ch 2 and turn
- make 40 DC down the row only in the back loops, ch 2 and turn
- continue making 40 DC in each row (in the back loops) until you have 32 rows (or however many fit the circumference of your head)
- slip stitch the shorter sides together
- now you have a rectangle - gather one side of the rectagle together and SC to join the sides starting from the middle and gathering the sides together in the middle (star shape top).
- weave in the ends, turn the beanie inside out so your seam is less obvious.
- I folded the edge so my beanie is not that long, but you do not have to....
Here is the finished result.....

Crochet Gloves No. 2
It is winter time.....time for gloves, hats, scarves......so.... I wanted to make some gloves as a Christmas gift for my sister..... I chose this variegated yarn and they turned out beautifully! I followed the same tutorial as in the next post:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xyrp6WOKHI
I have used the 4.00 mm crochet hook and they were a bit smaller then the gloves from the next post.....

Crochet Simple Gloves
These are the first gloves I've ever crocheted! I am so proud of this project! I thought that crocheting gloves would be a more complicated process, but this has turned out to be as painless as possible:)
I used this youtube tutorial:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xyrp6WOKHI
I ended up using 5.00 mm hook, and have made more increases then shown in the pattern, but nevertheless, the pattern was AWESOME and definitely worth following.
And this is how my gloves turned out..... A friend I made them for wanted dark blue with no embellishments, so they are super simple....

Crochet Men's Drivers's Cap
I wanted to make a hat/cap for my father's birthday coming up. I've found this pattern which is entitled "Cast of Crew Crochet Cap". It reminded me a great deal of the types of hats worn by men in the 1920's. I love that sort of a fashion for men, so I decided to make it for my dad. The pattern is from bobwilson123 website, and she even has a youtube tutorial. I followed it completely, but I have a feeling that her hat/cap turned out differently then mine - sigh:(
Nevertheless, I am sure my dad will appreciate and love the cap I made for him. This is the pattern website: www.bobwilson123.org/hats.html
And this is the youtube tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEffgaeEbus
And this is how mine turned out - my sweet hubby is modeling the hat:)

Crochet a Snowman Ear-flap Hat
I loved this project! This is not the first hat I've made (it was pre-blog time, so I have no pictures to prove it though), but this was the most fun hat I've made:)
Maybe it was because I made it for my four-year-old nephew, but it was a joy to complete. The instructions and the pattern was taken completely from Repeat Crafter Me website. This lady is awesome, you should truly check her blog! Thank you Repeat Crafter Me for the pattern. The website is:

Crochet Hello Kitty Ear-flap Hat
I am thinking about Christmas presents already (even though it is August now). Being on Summer vacation and being a teacher I never have time during the school year, so I am using this time of to do some crocheting and lovin' it too!
I have just made this adorable Hello Kitty crochet earflap hat. The size I made is for the toddler and I am sure it will fit my baby niece (if it does not, she'll grow into it fast).
The pattern I used is from Crochet is Color and it is super easy to follow. Instead of making braids to attach to the ear flaps of the hat, I chained 40 and added tassels on the bottom. Equally easy and cute. This is the website with the complete instruction. Thank you Elizabeth from Crochet in Color for the pattern.

Crochet Pom Pom Hats
Recently I have been asked to crochet some items to celebrate my School's spirit. Some items were supposed to be wearables, so the teachers, students, parents could display them and wear them to
promote our School. The School's colors are blue and yellow and the mascot is the wolf. I had a long and hard look at what I can make and create. It needed to be something that the kids would want to wear and also some items that were school related paraphernalia. All needed to be a great representation of our School's spirit.
One of the first items I though of was a hat - the winter was coming and I live in a area when the winters are long, cold and there is lot of snow. I found this amazing website with the great and simple instructions and sizing from Preemie to Adult Full Length Half Double Crochet Beanie. This is the website: oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/01/free-crochet-pattern-half-double.html
I whipped up three hats in a day..... now all that is left is to see if the students/teachers/parents would love them as much as I do.... This is how they turned out....

Crochet a Wolf Hat
Since a wolf is my School's mascot, I thought it might be a great idea to crochet a wolf hat! I could just imagine little 5-year-olds playing on the School's playground all wearing a wolf hat! Adorable:) I was ecstatic when I found this website from Repeat Crafter Me and the complete instructions and the pattern for a fox hat, which was so easily transformed into a wolf..... yeah!..... I just could not wait to make it.....

Pixie Bonnet Style Hat
A friend of mine recently asked me to crochet a hat for her 1-year-old nephew. She wanted a pixie style bonnet and she had a particular image in mind.

Crochet Ponytail Hat-Neck Warmer
A friend recently asked me to make a ponytail hat for her. There are tons of free patterns on line, but when I found this one I knew it was the right one for me. It took me about one hour to make the hat, and the pattern is so supper easy to follow. It uses DCs, and a 5.00 mm crochet hook, and I only used one skein of yarn. I generally love making Front Post and Back Post DCs and this pattern uses the FP and BP on the edging. The effect is great for the edging. This is the website: www.goddesscrochet.com/2015/02/27/ponytail-hat-neckwarmer-free-crochet-pattern/
And this is how mine turned out... A super easy, quick project... Definitely worth checking out...

I made this adorable beanie a year ago, but I never posted about it. So, I decided to make it again, post some pictures and give you a link to the pattern. The pattern is found on youtube. The lady who created and posted it does a great job explaining, although she does not use crocheted terminology. This was one of the first projects I made and it was easy to follow. I just followed what she does. This is a very beginner friendly project.

Crochet Bear Hooded Cowl
A friend of mine commissioned a hooded cowl for her little girl recently. I searched and searched and found this awesome tutorial on line. The tutorial is in Spanish, but it is wonderfully done and easy to follow. I have played with the variety of yarns and hooks, and have finally decided to double the strains of yarn and to use a 6.00 mm crochet hook. I used 4 skeins of purple yarn, and only a bit of pink for the inside of the ears. It turned out wonderfully. I was aiming for a size that would fit a 10-year-old up to teens, and it fitted me perfectly as well. Just follow the instructions in this tutorial and yours will turn out great, I promise:)

Pussyhat project
My Boss commissioned a hat from me the other day! Not only was I proud that she wanted to commission a hat from me, but I was also proud to be involved in this particular project - The Pussyhat Project! Pussyhat Project celebrates the women's rights and aimed to create a "sea of pink" at the Women's March on Washington in January 2017. The women from all over the US gathered to show solidarity and support for women's rights. This is an important women empowering action and I am proud to be a part of it...
The following is the link to the actual project and instructions to how you can get involved in.
www.pussyhatproject.com/mission/
The following is the pattern:
Materials
Worsted Weight yarn (I used 2 strains)
6mm crochet hook (or what works well with your yarn)
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Instructions:
- Ribbing
Leave a long tail for joining and make 17 ch
Row 1- HDC in 3rd chain from hook, HDC in each ch across. (15 HDC)
Row 2 - 2ch (does not count as stitch), HDC across in back loops only. (15 HDC)
Repeat row 2 until work measures 20 in, or fits comfortably round the head (I made 34 rows).
Bring the first row of the ribbing up to join with the last row and slip stitch the two ends together.
- Top of hat
Round 1 - Turn work and place three SC in every row ends (i.e. 1.5 stitches per row end - I ended up with the 52 SC). At end of
round, slip stitch to first stitch, ch1.
Round 2 - HDC into every stitch around (52 HDC)
When you reach the last stitch, just go straight on into the first stitch of the round so that you are working in a spiral with no join.
Continue to work in HDC until the hat measures 8 ins from base to top. (I made 7 rows). Slip stitch to the next stitch to create a smooth line.
Join along top seam by slip stitching the open sides together.
The finished object looks like a flat rectangle, but the ears pop up when you put it on your head.

Bear Hoodie 2
I had another friend commission a hooded cowl for her little girl. I used the same tutorial I found on youtube, followed the exactly and it turned out perfectly. The tutorial is in Spanish, but it is wonderfully done and easy to follow. I have again, used double strands of yarn and a 6.00 mm crochet hook. I went through 4 skeins of red yarn (400 grams in total), and only a bit of beige for the inside of the ears. I was aiming for a size that would fit a 7-year-old up to teens. Just follow the instructions in this tutorial and yours will turn out great, I promise:)

I decided to write down the directions from this tutorial, just because I could not find then anywhere, but I suggest watching the tutorial as well. So, here it goes.....
Materials:
6 mm crochet hook
Double strands of red yarn
a bit of beige yarn
scissors and needle
Steps and Procedure:
Hoodie:
- using red yarn, ch 66 (which is enough for a 50 cm head circumference)
- sl st to connect and make a circle
- ch 2, DC in the same stitch, and continue making DC for a whole round (total of 66 DC, not counting ch 2 at the beginning of every row)
- continue making 66 DC and a ch 2 for 10 rows (until you achieve the length of 15 cm), fasten off
- fold your cowl
- chain as many chains to equal the diameter of the folded cowl (I chained 33)
- ch 2 extra chains, and DC in the 3rd chain from the hook
- continue making DCs until you complete the row (33 DC total, not counting the ch 2 at the beginning or the row)
- when you finish the row, ch 2 and turn, make a DC in the same stitch and continue making the DCs all the way down the row (33 DC)
- when you finish the row, make the last DC in the DC from a previous row (always ignore the ch 2), ch 2 at the end and turn
- continue making 33 DC, with the ch 2 at the very beginning of the row, until you achieve the square in which all 4 sides are the same length (for me that was 31 cm and 18 rows)
- make 2 identical squares
- put the squares over each other and slip stitch two sides together starting with the bottom left corner of each square (there will be no exact stitches, but try to look for the appropriate hole to connect both squares).
- when you start slip stitching the second side of the squares, there are obvious stitches (there should be 33) so go through the exact stitches and slip stitch this side together but only 2/3 of it (or 22 stitches)
- when you have finished slip stitching together about 2/3 of this side of the hoodie, fold the left corner towards the inside of the hoodie, and fold the other corner of the second square towards the inside of the hoodie. Now you have four layers of stitches, which you need to slip stitch together (this will create a hem on the front side of the hoodie)
- when you are finished slip stitching ch 1 and fasten off
- now you should have 2 closed sides of the squares, and two opened ones
- join the bottom part (cowl part of the hoodie) to the bottom of the hoodie together, making sure you slip stitch the wrong sides together.
- turn the hoodie inside out
Bear ears:
Using two different colors, one for the inside ear, one for the outside ear
- Make a magic ring
- ch 1 and make 5 HDC inside the magic ring
- slip stitch to the first HDC of the round
- ch 1, and make 2 HDC in every stitch around (10 HDC), sl st to the first HDC of the round
- ch 1 and make 2 HDC in the first stitch, and 1 HDC in the second stitch and repeat this all the way around (15 HDC)
- ch 1 and make 1 HDC in each stitch around (15 HDC)
- make 4 ears, attach the two different colored ears together using SC
- attach the ears to the hoodie by sewing them on the hoodie
Your hoodie is now finished. I have sewn two buttons on the cowl purely as a decoration, the buttons have no function here. And here it is what the finished hoodie looks like...
