Good luck! I hope this is easily enough for you to understand. Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy

Here are some of items I have made on real live babies! They look much better on these kiddos then laying on my couch haha. In the first pic I made this set last year and I wish I could remember where I found the pattern to that bunny hat but I don't have a clue where I got it haha. The second pic I showed the finished hat on a previous post laying on my couch. Looks much better on this cute little baby girl. The third photo is just another owl hat I made. My friend Jessica bought these from me to use as photo props. Her photo facebook page is here Check it out!!

                          Soon to come!! My first ever FREE pattern!
As soon as my slightly sick, very fussy, no nap taking toddler goes to bed I will type up my girls sock monkey hat pattern that I made. Beware the fact that I have never wrote a pattern so im pretty sure it will be horrible haha! Hopefully someone might be able to actually understand it and make this cute little hat lol 

This is a blanket I'm working on. I purchased lion brand homespun yarn to try it out and this was the pattern that was on the back of the sleeve. The link to this pattern is here I have it folded in half in this photo so it's getting pretty big. It's a super easy pattern and a beginner can easily get this made. It takes a while though.

This is a little puppy dog hat I came up with and of course didn't write it down. If I make another one I will try and make a pattern for this one too. The only thing I don't like about it is that I wish I wouldn't have put the fur around the edges it looks cute but it tickles Kaylin's face a little and she usually ends up pulling it off her head lol.

I LOVE this hat! I wanted to make Kaylin a kitty cat hat since she loves cats so much. Unfortunately when I came up with this I didn't write down what I did. I will be making another one soon to sell to someone and I will try and remember to write it down so other people can make one too! When Kaylin wears this hat I get so many compliments on it. I think it's the fur that people really like.

Free owl hat pattern

This very cute owl hat is so popular! Everyone just loves it. I do too and so does Kaylin. The very first owl hat I ever made I went by this Free pattern Free owl hat pattern (this also has a baby cocoon pattern with it as well.)I learned how to even attempt on owl hat by using this pattern. The one I made in this picture I didn't follow a pattern I just did my own thing using the knowledge I learned from making the first owl hat. The things I did differently are obviously hat type I made just a plain ear flap hat with different colored edging. I made the eyes bigger by doing more increases. The beak is a little bigger. The ears are basically the same though. If you are new at crocheting then I would suggest trying out the free pattern first and then trying one on your own. Of course you can still do the free pattern and put your own touches on it. If you have any questions on the owl hat I made just let me know.
