Knit Cozy Neck Warmer

This is an old pattern given to me by my sister many years ago. I decided to scan it and 
post it on my site before it became unreadable. 



You can get the FREE pattern here.
I have also typed up the instructions on that page in case you can't read the scanned copy.

Another great seasonal crochet pattern.














These are so cute! They would look great hanging on a Christmas
tree. I'm going to get my yarn and make one right now!

Snowflake Hotpad or an Ornament

I love this pattern, it's a crocheted snowflake hotpad but I used this pattern
and made it for an ornament. I did it in a 2 ply yarn and used white for the 
snowflake part and then 2 rounds of red, and the last round in green. 















I used mine as decorations to hang in my living room. These would also look
great done in crochet thread and hung on your Christmas tree.

Crocodile Stitch Booties I made

I made these baby booties for a friend to give as a gift to their 5 month old granddaughter. 


















You can find the pattern online here.

She did a great job in designing this pattern. She even has videos to show
you how to make them. 

There were several things I did change about the pattern. 

On the last two rounds for the foot part I altered it a bit to shape the heel a little
better so you wouldn't have to sew to shape it. 

My adjustments for the last 2 rounds: On the round before the last I did 7 hdc, then 
2 hdc tog twice, then 7 hdc. Last round I did 6 hdc, then 2 hdc tog twice, then 6 hdc. 

Another adjustment I made was I omitted the 20 sc at the top of the foot opening 
and instead I just made the 10 v-stitches all around the opening. 

The last adjustment I made was that I did the crocodile stitch in dc (instead of hdc) and 
I put 5 dc around the post of each v-stitch (instead of 4 hdc).

I thinks these slippers are so cute! She also has instructions on her pattern for other
sizes, newborn to 12 months, 5 to 8 years old, and adult sizes.
