Crochet Baby Booties
I found this great link that I made women's boat slippers from a while back. I could not resist making baby booties of the same design and from the same designer! This is the link, and it rocks!
www.whistleandivy.com/2013/05/baby-boat-bootie.html
The booties turned out great, they are so easy to make, just follow Bethany's pattern. It took me about an hour to make both booties, so print the pattern out, sit in a quiet place and enjoy your "crocheting moments"....
This is how mine turned out... I will be giving them to my little baby niece in celebration of her 1st Birthday coming up soon!:)

Crochet A Newborn Set
A friend of mine had a baby shower recently. I found out about it late and found myself in a rush, so I had to acquire something that afternoon! Yikes! And then I thought..... Wait! Why go shopping and spending money, time and losing my sanity in shopping malls and traffic jams - I know how to crochet! (Although I am a very much so a-self-taught-crocheter, I remember crocheting and knitting with my Aunt in my adolescence years. Thank you Aunt Lydia for the basics!:)
Anyways, to make the long story short, I decided to make a baby shower gift for my friend. We knew it was a boy, so the choice of color came naturally. I made this adorable set containing a pacifier holder, a bib and a newborn scratch gloves. I found the patterns super easy, and it turned out great. Best of all my friend appreciated it. I hope her new baby boy finds it useful as well.
The pattern for the bib is found on:

The pattern for the baby pacifier is found on:

I love using a youtube crocheting video tutorials since as a beginner crocheter I need some guidance. I am slowly moving away from the tutorial videos and am beginning to read patterns on my own, yeah!:)
Thank you to the lovely ladies who created these patterns, I found their tutorials very useful, helpful and overall wonderful!

Baby Monster Bib
I know there are so many of these monster bibs crochet patterns on line and this one I found worked the best for me. I did the eyes, teeth, the whole shebang...... Turned out great!
The link to the patterns for the eyes and the teeth is from this lady Cilla Monsta and is done in a sort of crochet-with-me with no pauses. It goes fast and it is for a not-so-much-a-beginner crocheter, but it worked great for me. Thank you Cilla Monsta:)

I made the flowers about two years ago, when I attempted to make a baby blanket. I was left with 30 additional flowers and no ideas what to do with them. These worked wonderfully as an addition for these booties. Thank you Bella Coco for the pattern:

Crochet Minion Inspired Cell Phone Cover

The tutorial is from Jonna Martinez's youtube tutorial, and it is out of this world!!!! Since this is a gift for my niece, I will be giving this one away, but will make a new one soon! Lovin' it!

Crochet Simple Flower Applique
I have been fixating on crocheting simple flowers lately. I have a 6-year-old niece and have been looking into what kind of a crocheted gift to make for her. As most little girls, she is very much a girly-girl, so I have decided to make her something "flowery". I went shopping the other day and found these simple black hair clips, so I thought to add flowers to it, to make them more unique and cute.
This was a simple project. When I looked into making crocheted flowers, there were so many choices on Pinterest, but I opted for these simple ones. The flower pattern is actually from Serina's Crochet and Knitting Blog, and she used the flowers to make a necklace.
craftedfromstories.weebly.com/craft-blog/how-to-crochet-a-flower-necklace
The pattern for the actual flowers is super simple and it makes a 5-petal flower:
- make a Magic Circle
- *Chain 2, double crochet 2 times into the magic circle, chain 2, slip stitch into the magic circle Rep from * to make 4 more petals
I used the hot-glue gun to glue each petal to the hair clip.
This is how they turned out. I thought they were pretty cute:)

Crochet Elsa Crown with Hair
I am absolutely in love with the Disney cartoon "Frozen"! I think it tells a remarkable story and teaches us girls a fabulous message, especially those girls who have sisters (like I do)! I also love the music, the songs, the movie characters - all about "Frozen" rocks! - in my humble opinion....
Also, my 4-year-old nephew now runs around his house with the towel over his head (pretending it was his hair), proclaiming loudly and proudly - "Look at me, I'm Elsa!" I felt bad for the poor kid running around with nothing but a towel on his head, so I decided to make him a crown with a long braid, so he could be a "real princess Elsa"! After all, my little nephew has an aunt who can crochet.... the rest is history...
I followed the two sets of patterns and the links are as follows:
overtheappletree.blogspot.ba/2015/01/crochet-elsa-crown-with-hair.html?m=1
hattingmadlycrochet.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/free-toddler-princess-crown/
I've combined these two patterns to make one unity, and the crown and the braided hair turned out great. This was a long process, especially putting the strains of hair on the crown, but it was worth it. Here is the written pattern:
Hook 4.00 mm
Yarn - Blue, White
US crochet terms
Ch 72 (white yarn), join to first chain (if you want smaller or bigger crown you need to crochet in multiples of 6)
Crown:
Row 1: ch1, sc across in white, join(72)
Row 2: Change to blue, ch1, hdc around, join
Row 3: ch1, sc around, join
Row 4: ch1, hdc around, join
Row 5: ch1, sc around, join
Row 6: begin V stitch (hdc, ch2, hdc, in joining st and every 3rd st around) join
Row 7: shell (6dc in first v-stitch, sc in next v-stitch, repeat around) join
Row 8: join to top of beginning chain, sc in same, sc, hdc, ch2, sl st in first ch, hdc in next stitch, sc, sc across the top of shell. Skip over the sc in center of shell from previous row and continue across top of next shell(sc, sc, hdc, ch2, sl st in 1st ch, hdc, sc, sc) Join and tie off.
Attaching white yarn for hair:
Cut strands of yarn for hair twice as long as desired length. This will be folded in half. The length will depend on how long you want your braid. I new my nephew will love it long, so I cut it super long. Also, think about when you pull the hair to one side for the braid. You'll want to make the strands that are far away from the braid longer. That way the end of the braid won't be as uneven and you'll have less wasted yarn to trim.
Take two strands of the yarn and fold in half, giving you the center point. Insert hook through two loops at the base of crown. Grab the two strands folded at the center point and pull up. Now pull the rest of the yarn up through loop, pull tight. I did two strands in every third stitch and it was great.
Now just twist and braid hair. It's very helpful to have a head to put this on while you're styling! I secured with an elastic hair tie and added a blue ribbon at the end. The patterns call for snowflakes sequins but I had a very impatient little Elsa waiting for his crown, so I x-nay on the sequin-ay.
Thank you Over the Apple Tree and Hatting Madly Crochet for the patterns.

Crochet Baby lovie
My little niece has a birthday coming up soon. She will be 1 year old!:)
As always, I love homemade gifts, so I have crocheted her a gift - a baby lovie! I found this MARVELOUS pattern on line, and I just had to make it. The Amigurumi style head and hands (which are sewn on) and a granny square blanket - C-U-T-E!:) The patterns is entirely from LuLu's Crafts and I found it on Ravelry.
www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/giraffe-lovey-4
I did the entire pattern with crochet hook 4.00 mm although it specified 3.5 mm, 4.00 mm and 5.00 mm. I liked it better with the 4.00 mm. I also hot-glued the googly eyes and hot-glued the felt nostrils, although they were crocheted in the pattern...

Crochet an Eye Patch
,My little nephew has developed some minor vision issues so the doctor is making him 'practice' looking through only one eye at a time. It is really not a big deal except when they put on the cotton patch on his eye and tape it on his poor little face he looks like he is in so much pain and it looks really ugly! So, as a kind Aunty, I have decided to make him an actual eye patch and double it material so it serves a purpose - he could use it to improve his vision and he can look stylish at the same time:)
It took me literately 15 minutes to whip this bad boy up. I used the 4.00 mm hook; white, black, green,and blue yarn; some elastic; and some non see through material.....
Here is the pattern:
- using black yarn make the center of the eye: make a magic circle, chain 1 and make 8 HDC in the circle, slip stitch into the ch 1, change color
- using blue and green yarn (2 stands of yarn) make the iris of the eye: ch 3, DC into the same stitch, 2 DC into every stitch around, (total of 16 DC) slip stitch into 3rd chain, change color
- using white yarn: ch 2, HDC into the same stitch, 2 HDC into every stitch around (32 stitches)
slip stitch into ch 2, HDC into same stitch, 1 HDC into every stitch around (32 stitches)
- using blue/green yarn: 32 HDC around
- continue the round with 5 HDC, ch 1 and turn
- make 5 HDC, ch 1 and turn (I did 24 rows of 5 HDC ch1).
- count 11 stitches from the base of the strap, along the HDC you made in the previous row - join in the string with ch 1, and make 5 HDC, ch 1 and turn. Make another 24 rows.
- sew in the elastics, sew in the soft material on the other side of the eye if you want it to be completely non-see-through, and you are good to go.
- if you need it bigger, make the straps longer.

- count 11 stitches from the base of the strap, along the HDC you made in the previous row - join in the string with ch 1, and make 5 HDC, ch 1 and turn. Make another 24 rows.
- sew in the elastics, sew in the soft material on the other side of the eye if you want it to be completely non-see-through, and you are good to go.
- if you need it bigger, make the straps longer.
This is how mine turned out....
