Crochet Beautiful Shells Blanket Pattern Review and "What-I-Used"

Image
Hello again! Today I'm sharing with y'all one of my favorite crochet blanket patterns, The Beautiful Shells pattern. I originally saw it on a crochet Facebook Group I am in and had to try it out! This is the link to the pattern by Lahoma Nally-Kaye on Ravelry:  CLICK HERE What-I-Used: For my version of her beautiful pattern, I used all  Red Heart Super Saver and an I-5.50mm crochet hook  The colors I used were called:  Aran, Real Teal, and (I'm pretty sure) Turqua. Link to yarn: CLICK HERE For my blanket, I wanted it to be a nice baby blanket size, so I did 36 rounds in all, switching colors every 4 rounds. Here is a color chart of sorts as to how I did that: Rounds: 1-4 Turqua 5-8 Real Teal 9-12 Aran 13-16 Turqua 17-20 Real Teal 21-24 Aran 25-28 Turqua 29-32 Real Teal 33-36 Aran I absolutely LOVE how this baby blanket came out! Let me know below if you've ever made one and if so,  what colors yo...

Hi y'all! So today I have another one of my original designs to share with you. It's my own twist on the VERY popular Messy Bun Beanie! You've probably seen MANY other patterns like  this one ,  this one , and  this one.  But I decided to go REALLY simple, and make one fully out of double and single crochet stitches. There is a border of crab stitches, AKA reverse single crochet, at the very end, but I promise you it's easy-peasy! So, let's get on with the pattern! Oh, and, here's a picture of mine. (Ya know, in case ya wanna see what it looks like before you go to the trouble of making it.) P.S. the hat is made from the bottom up. :) (Oh yeah! It's to fit ages 12 and up-ish.) What you will need: -Worsted weight yarn in your color choice! I used Red Heart Super Saver in Aran. I LOVE this color! *Heart eyes emoji x3* -H/5.00mm crochet hook -Yarn needle for weaving in ends. -Scissors are probably a good idea too... Stitch Abbreviations: sc:...

Today I thought I'd share with y'all a few of my favorite crocheted animal hats. They are all from RepeatCrafterMe.com . Just click on the names of the patterns to access the pattern from RepeatCrafterMe. :) All of the hats pictured I made and photograped for this blog and they are all made in the smallest size listed on the website of Sarah Zimmerman. Which is RepeatCrafterMe.com. Above each picture I have listed the materials I used, such as yarn brands and buttons. Enjoy and let me know below if you would like another post like this one sometime. :) Here is my personal favorite, the  Crochet Owl Hat Pattern . I love the color purple and love using it with whatever I happened to be making. So I created this purple version of RCM's pattern using some Bernat Super Value yarn for the lighter purple and some Loops and Threads Impeccable by Michaels Craft Stores in the darker purple color and some white. For the little bit of black I used Red Heart Super Saver and for...
