Child Football Beanie Pattern

A friend asked me about a pattern for little boys that was not so girly and I mentioned the football beanie. The size needed was a small child. I sat down to write up the instructions quickly and well after half way through I remembered something one of my boys told  me. The DC ones look more lacy so I decided to redo the pattern with HDC. I am gonna post it here for all to share. However please note I did not make the hat in the correct colors I just made a mustard gold yellow one then pulled it out. If you make one you can share the pictures for all to see. The hat is made for 18" head.

I hope you will share pictures of your finished project. I forgot to mention the hook size is H. For some reason I left it out of the pattern.

So many changes

Looking at my blog I realize it has been quite a while since I have posted anything at all. Since my recent post I have moved from Mesquite, Texas up north east to lovely Auburn, WA. When I go to town to run errands I can see Mt. Rainier. Right now the mountains have snow tops so lovely. I really need a better camera so I can get some pic.

Another change is that with Omni I have lost a total of 54lb and still dropping. I am super excited to feel better and look better. I am also taking more of the Omni vitamins and generally feeling better to include having less pain from my nerve damage.

I have been working hard on designing baby dresses and little things for my grands. This past week I went to a bazaar sold lots of little Christmas Angels. I am currently working on a soccerball afghan/hat set as well as new dress designs.




On a silly side check out these boxers I made for one of my sons. I plan on making adjustments and writing the pattern. These were not quite right but still turned out pretty cute huh.

Hopping to become a better blogger for the new year and start offering some free patterns. I am working on an adult hat pattern now that will be available sometime this month. Just a basic hat but made for myself and loving the results. With a little sunshine I will be getting some pictures today. 

New Path

Ah today I was working on a design because it is something that was popular and not something from my heart and I have decided to rip it out and stop producing patterns that are popular for popularities sake. I wanted to do what people talk about and make money from doing something I love but to make the money I have been making things I dont like or dont care to make. Well that all stops today. I am gonna make things for my family and if I feel like writing the patter you will be able to find it on my Ravelry page. I will be closing my etsy shop when the listing run out. Ravelry is free to post patterns and they send them when you purchase so I see no reason to remove my work from there. I will still occasionally post free patterns here as well and blog on about my yarn addiction adventures...

I will be working on some bandana dresses, learning to tat, learning to sew better, making thing for my grands and going back to enjoying what I do and what I make...... Hope you all continue to follow me along on the journey........

New Year

A new year has begun and life at my house has been exciting. I will be working on new patterns this year and I have decided to go back into designing doll clothes. I love making doll clothes and I love dressing dolls. This year you can expect to see new clothes in my shop. I currently own, thanks to a very fabulous and my bestest friend, a Blythe doll and a Monster High Doll. I have already starting making them clothes.

I also plan to write hat patterns like the soccerball hat above. I am excited about this wonderful new year and all the opportunities I will have...
