Grace's Crochet Teeny Bikini

I made this lil bikini for my 4 year old, she asked for a bikini to wear in her pool so this is how it ended up. It looks adorable on her. I made my own pattern I will try and get a tutorial as I didn't really write it down as I went, maybe some day!

Using Stitch Marker mark where you would want your ear flaps to be

Slip stitch onto hat where you want your ear flap to start

8 DC across chain 2
decrease down until desire size and then SC the last stitch

2 rows of SC around the hat finish off and weave in ends.

you may add any type of tie to the ear flaps as you desire I braided strand of wool together and attached to my hat as requested from my daughter.

Thanks for reading!!

Grace's Olivia's Butterfly Hat

This is a very simple hat and very quick to make. Using a J hook and worsted weight yarn, I used red heart, and it fits a 20 1/2 inch head very nicely. Very easily adjustible by either adding increase rows or taking away.

Rnd 1) ch3, 11dc in 3rd ch from hook (11dc) sl st to top of first dc (now and through out),
Rnd 2) ch2, (does not count as dc now and through out) 2dc in each st around, sl st to top of first dc
Rnd 3) ch 2 * 2dc in first st, 1dc in next st around, repeat from * around slip st to join
Rnd 4) ch2, *2dc, dc in next 2dc , repeat from * around, join
Rnd 5) ch2, * 2dc, dc in next 3dc , repeat from * around, join

Rnd 6) ch2, dc in same st and each st around

Rnd 7 and 8) Repeat rnd 6

Rnd 9) ch2, dc in same st, dc in next 21 sts, ch10, skip next 9 sts, dc in next st and in each st accross, slip st to join

Rnd 10) ch2, dc in same st and in next 21 sts, ch 10, skip 10 chains, dc in next dc and in each remaining dc, slip st to join

Rnd 11 and 12) Repeat rnd 10

Rnd 13) ch1, sc in same st and in next 21 sts, ch5, sc over all ch 10's by bunching together and into 5th dc of the 9 skipped dc on row 9, ch5, sc in next dc and in each dc around slip stitch to join, fasten off. I hope you can see in the pic how I did row 13.

Please feel free to sell your creations as you like... just maybe link to my pattern or tag with my website. Thanks, and happy hooking.

Blanket

I just finished this blanket for my girls they could hardly wait for it to be done wanting a cuddle everyday till it was finished so I am finished for now, it will be a growing blanket, I plan to expand it as they get bigger! Its constructed of a solid granny square using a 4 mm hook 2 different colors of wool, both bernat, as which is my favorite brand of wool to crochet with.

A Bit of Color

Was at my inlaws and forgot my crochet supplies, so my mother inlaw offered me a ball of cotton and a hook and away I went. I made a dishcloth and planned on making another when she said hey why don't you try to make a bib.I thought what a cool idea, so I decided how I wanted it to look finished and I ended up with a great larger sized bib. I use it for my youngest daughter, she enjoys it.

Happy Birthday Kelly

My cousin Kelly turned 17 this week and for her birthday I decided to make her a little something, of course she loves purple so I hope she enjoys this as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

Happy Birthday Kelly Belly = )
