Crochet Lego Blocks Scarf

By Lorraine

The fun and interest in building and creating with LEGO’s can follow a kid right into adulthood. I know a guy (not the guy in the photos) with a huge collection and though now without much time with career and other responsibilities, is still, unashamedly, an enthusiast. This crochet LEGO scarf is a gift for my daughter’s boyfriend and my son-in-law bravely modeled it for me before I gave it away.Continue Reading

Crochet Hat for Abbey

By Lorraine

This girl wanted a new hat.

A blue and grey hat to be exact. Something fun and warm.

I showed Abbey a few patterns to choose from and she picked this one.

She can wear it down on her forehead just above those pretty eyes or pushed back a little.

There is even room should she have a ponytail.

Worn like this, it resembles a snood.

Great spiral pattern on the back, this Drops Design pattern is designed as a guys hat.

I followed the L/XL sized because Abbey likes her hats big. But that required me to do lots of rounds of decreases to tighten around her temples. She tried it on as I went to be sure it fit just right.

Now this girl wants a new scarf.

I surprised her even more by making a pair of hand warmer mitts to match the hat.

Infant Crochet Leg Warmers & Baby Beanie

By Lorraine

Crochet pattern infant baby boy leg warmers with matching beanie hat. Baby blanket with matching crochet edging.

Our Jamie is expecting a baby boy the end of this month and she asked me to make a pair of crochet leg warmers for him to wear home from the hospital. I gave some thought to the length of a infant newborn leg, the diameter of the thigh and ankle and came up with a tiny, cuffed pair to keep those little legs warm. Of course, there needs to be a matching beanie for his little noggin and a super soft blanket to swaddle him in.
