Raspberry Hat & Green Leafy Mittens

I love this pattern! The hat is from Crochetmilie on Etsy and done in a two-row repetition of single crochets and bobble stitches. Super simple and looks amazing when done.

The first time I saw this pattern I knew exactly how I’d display the hats in our next farmer’s market. A basket of raspberries. 🙂

The bobble stitch might make this pattern a confident beginner pattern choice, but if you mastered the technique of a good single crochet (the right tension, etc.), the bobble stitch will work well for you.

The green leaf mittens is a pattern I put together myself; I should probably do a quick tutorial on it. Let me know if that’s something you’d like. It has a ribbed cuff at the wrist and is thumbless – perfect for babies!

If you’d like to purchase the finished product (the hat and matching mittens), it’s up on my Peanut Butter Jelliez Etsy site. Use the code WORDPRESS to get a 20% discount.

Crocheting: The Lala Loopsy Baby Hat

I love, love, love the Lala Loopsy Baby Hat by designer Marilyn Sehn.

And so I jumped at the chance to make one for my new baby granddaughter. This was such a quick, easy project! If you have the most basic of crocheting skills you’ll be able to do this.

Stitches include the Magic Ring, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch – except for the magic ring, the most basic stitches you can have in crocheting.

I’ve posted a pic, but please excuse its quality. I wanted to get this up quickly so the above picture isn’t blocked or tidied, but I’ll update later with the baby attached. 🙂
