So originally this was going to be a top for my 8 month old daughter, but when my 3 year old saw it she just HAD to try it on. It turned out to be a super cute toddler crop top AND adorable baby top all in one! My straps are a bit on the shorter side for my 3 year old so if your top is going to be a toddler I suggest making them a bit longer.
If you make a top be sure to TAG ME on Instagram so I can see! 🙂
Materials:
- 4.25mm Crochet hook. I love using these for cotton yarn, they slide through the stitches really well.
- Worsted weight cotton yarn. I Used Lily Sugar’n Cream. Off White, Hot Orange and Light Blue.
- Yarn Needle

I’ve finally started to settle into more of a routine with my youngest, who is a terrible sleeper! I’ve been able to have a lot more free time to work on my business! As some of you know I’ve been working hard on getting patterns and finished crochet products up on my Etsy Shop. I don’t want to neglect my blog and will be posting a lot more free patterns in the new year! Be sure to keep checking back and subscribe for the latest patterns and tutorials!
This is a really fun and easy hat pattern to complete, as soon as you get the stitch down you will be able to knock out a hat in an hour or two! This pattern uses bulky yarn but can easily be customizable with worsted or super bulky yarn!
Materials:
-
8mm Crochet hook
-
Bulky yarn (5) I used less than one skein of Loops and Threads Charisma.
-
Yarn needle
-
Scrap yarn for pompom (optional)
Notes:
The main portion of the hat is first worked back and fourth in rows. You will then attach your yarn at the bottom and work in rounds to make the brim.Â
I had so much fun making Whistle and Ivy’s plaid hat, that I decided to whip up a matching crochet plaid headband for my daughter! This pattern is kid’s size but is easily made larger or smaller by changing the beginning chain length. Just be sure to use multiples of 6. Definitely head over to the Whistle and Ivy blog to see her awesome tutorial on how to achieve this plaid look.
Materials:Â
-
Worsted weight yarn in 3 colors (I used Red, Dark Red and black)
-
5mm crochet hook
-
yarn needle
I wen’t to Michaels the other day and fell in love with there new Alpaca yarn! There’s so many beautiful colors I will definitely be going back for more. The two colors I picked go really well together so I decided to make something using both, an infinity scarf!
Materials:
Super bulky weight yarn. I used Lush Alpaca by Loops and Threads in Taupe and Pink.
10mm crochet hook

Materials:Â
Super bulky yarn, I used Lion-brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in Moonlight.

Pattern:
This cowl is super fast to whip up! I found this Pattern for the Lorelei super scarf and fell in love with it. Instead of making a scarf I decided to turn it into a cowl. It’s a really simple and repetitive pattern.
I chained 27 and completed rows 1-4. I then repeated rows 2-4 until I had a total of 27 rows altogether.
After that, I slip stitched the beginning row and last row together. Weave in all the ends.
Simple as that.
And of course my adorable little model…

So I’ve been obsessed with the puff stitch lately. It really is an easy stitch and once you get it down you can crank out a hat in no time. I’ve been making a bunch of these puff stitch beanies for my upcoming craft fair in October. This pattern is super versatile and is easy to work up in different sizes. I like to use worsted weight or bulky yarn to make them.
Materials:Â
-
5mm crochet hook
-
One skein worsted weight yarn. The Mustard hat pictured is
Urban Yarn by Loops & Threads and I LOVE it!
-
Yarn needle

PomPom (optional)
So I’ve been obsessed with mandalas lately and had a bunch of cotton yarn I wanted to use so I made some cute mandala coasters! These are really fun and easy to make. I used a free pattern from Ravelry. Instead of making the entire mandala I stopped after round 4 and they are the perfect coaster size. I used Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton yarn and just mixed the colors with each coaster.
Materials:Â
Lily Sugar’n cream cotton- 4 colors
Crochet hook size 2.5mm
yarn needle
