I just finished my Viking Set...I've been a little preoccupied lately
my daughter and her husband had a baby girl...and she is
beautiful and now that my husband and I are both well and the
weather has cleared we will be traveling very
soon to see her...she is one of the prettiest baby's I've ever seen.
Well back to business
I've had a few people ask me if I had anything for little boys?
Well this one's for the boys!

 Viking Helmet Hat with Horns
Shield and Sword
Complete with a handle and ready for fighting!

Princess Froggie Security Blanket©

I just finished this little
"Princess Froggie Security Blanket"©
I had a little left over baby yarn...that I bought
back before we knew we were going to have a grand daughter...
 it's very pretty yarn so I thought I would make something
to take with me when we go and visit...when ever she
decides to make her appearance...I've been sick with the
flu and this was the perfect project to work on
so I made this blanket
and some matching baby bath cloths!
These little baby bath cloths are so soft and pretty
when tied up with a little piece of ribbon!
A little princess for our little princess!
The little Frog is Mint Green and she is 4" tall.
 
 
The Blanket is 18"x18"
 Who could resist this little face!

1” Black Buttons
H, G Hooks

Abbreviations Used in Pattern

BLO-back loop only
hdc-half double crochet
FO-fasten off

With Bright Pink Yarn (ch 3 counts as 1st st)
Ch 3
Row 1. Wk 11hdc in the third ch from the hook, ch 2 and turn-12sts

Row 2. Wk 2hdc in each st around,ch 2 and turn-24sts

Row 3. Wk 1hdc in same st as ch 2, wk 1hdc in the next, repeat with 2hdc, and 1hdc all the way around, ch 2 and turn-36sts


Row 4. Wk 1hdc in the next 2 sts, wk 2hdc in the next, continue with 1hdc in next 2sts, 2hdc in the next st, all the way around, ch 2 and turn-48sts

Row 5. Wk 1hdc in the next 2 sts, 2hdc in the next, repeat with 1hdc in the next 3 sts, 2hdc in the next st all the way around ch 2 and turn-60sts

Rows 6-10. Wk 1hdc in each st around and FO.
If this is for an adult you might want to do 1 or 2 more rows before you FO.

With right side facing you and now working from the out side like in the photo...attach Red Heart Yarn in Buff.
 
Ch 2
Row 11. Wk 1hdc in the BLO all the way around, ch 2 and turn.





Rows 12-19. Wk 1hdc in each st around, FO in the last st in the ninth row. Weave in the loose ends with a tapestry needle.
To make the ringlets, use Bright Pink Yarn an H hook.
Ch 50 or 60
Wk 3sc in each ch st across and FO. Make as many as you would like. I made 12. I made some of the chains longer, so the ringlets weren’t all the same. I used a sewing needle and matching thread and sewed each ringlet in place near the center of the hat and work your way out. Or you can sew them on each side of the hat to make pig tails.

For the Bow I used Red Heart Yarn in Purple an a G hook (make two)
Ch 9
Row 1. Wk 1sc in each st across, ch 1 and turn.

Row 2. Dec 2, 1sc in 4 sts, dec 2, ch 1 and turn.

Row 11. Wk 2sc in the first st, 1sc in the next 4 sts, 2sc in the last st and FO. Sc both pieces together and FO.

To make the center of the bow ch 4 and wk 1sc in 3 sts, ch 1 and turn. Make it just long enough to go around the center of both bows. Then sew in place and then sew to hat.
To make the cheeks, use Light Pink Yarn and a G hook
Ch 2
Row 1. Wk 6sc in the second ch on the hook-6sts

Row 2. Wk 2sc in each st around-12sts.

Row 3. Wk 1sc in the first st, 2sc in the next, all the way around-18sts.
Sew one on each side of face. With black yarn and a tapestry needle embroider a smile and two eye lashes on each eye. Sew buttons in place.

Fun Hats For Kids!!

Hello Everyone!!
We had a big Christmas gathering last year at my Mother in laws
house...so many kids, great nieces and nephews...I wanted to make
something for them...so I made each little one a hat...and
they all were so cute in them. I had the most fun making
this Lalaloopsy Hat and I was very happy that the
little girl I made it for said she loved it.
The Free Pattern for this hat is on my blog.

Reindeer Games Ring Toss Hat©

Reindeer Games Ring Toss Hat©
I just finished my Reindeer Ring Toss Hat
last night...when I was creating this hat I really wanted
something fun for kids...and this Reindeer Hat Ring Toss can be played
indoors without any worry of something getting broken.
When your all done playing you can dress it up
with a little sparkle with these mini ornaments
You can make the game a little more difficult by having the
person wearing the hat move around slightly.
I made 3 different ring sizes...the smaller the ring the more points
you get...you can throw them on the antlers, ears and nose!
Fun for a Family Christmas party!
 
Merry Christmas
