Foxglove Baby Bonnet: A New Crochet Pattern
|
Reader I hope you all have had a great summer. I had a busy and fulfilling summer. The best part is getting to be with my girls. We spent a lot of time with family, and friends. I've really enjoyed having a garden this year. I think my favorite part of summer was that I got to go to church camp with my oldest. It was a week of MAD (music, arts, and drama) camp. I was in charge of the arts part of camp. I can't tell you how fun it was to be creative and teaching again. I of course even taught a crocheting workshop. Another exciting part of summer was that I have a new niece. Naturally I had to make all the things for her, and out of that came a new pattern for you. The Foxglove Baby Bonnet is a sweet little hat for a newborn. The pattern is worked flat starting with the brim, then the back of the bonnet is worked in short rows, and then seamed together. The textured pattern is made with double crochet stitches and front post double crochet stitches. You will be able to find this pattern, more pictures, and my notes in my Ravelry shop. As we head into fall, I'm looking forward to sharing my next patterns with you. Julia

Reader It doesn't seem possible that the cold weather is just around the corner. I wanted to get this pattern out to you early so you could have it finished before you really needed it. This is a stranded knit pattern with a chart and instructions to make this beautiful cowl. This time I decided to make it with a DK weight yarn for the extra squish and warmth and I'm so glad that I did. It uses 200 grams of yarn. Unfortunately it uses 110 grams of the background color so you need 3 skeins...
I wanted to jump on real quick and let you know my birthday sale starts today. All patterns are 25% off in both my ravelry and Etsy shops all weekend. Help me celebrate my birthday. Shop my work Ravelry: Designs by Julia Schwartz
Reader I can't believe the final animal sock pattern is finally here. I reworked this one a few times. I wanted to get it just right. I think these might be my favorite. I love the floating bubbles and just how happy the socks look. I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I have. If this is your first time seeing the other socks be sure to check them out on Ravelry. You can purchase the Go Fish Socks or any of my other patterns in my Ravelry shop. Ravelry: Go Fish Socks pattern by Julia...
