A Crochet Bunny hat seemed like the natural project with Easter just around the corner. It’s a fun and easy Crochet Hat. You can adjust the sizes to make it from baby to adult sizes. The hook recommendations are just a general recommendation. Everyone crochets at a different gauge. I tend to crochet and knit on a tighter side. You will need medium weight yarn. I chose white and pink but you can choose your own colors. I have made this same in a Light brown and beige for boys. You will begin by crocheting my basic beanie in White medium weight yarn.

Easiest Baby Slippers.. Adjust to your needed size
These are my easiest baby slippers / booties ever! Theses little slippers / booties are super fast to make and use very little yarn.
I used an acrylic medium weight yarn but the sizes could be adjusted. They work up so quickly you can re-make a new one in a different size if it doesn’t quite fit.

Let’s celebrate 2016 with a giveaway. A choice of my Crochet or Knit Animal Lovie Blanket books.. woohoo!
I can’t believe it’s already 2016 and almost the end of January! Where does the time go? It seems the older I get the faster time seems to go. I remember being a small child and feeling like a year to forever to end. I wanted it to get to the end of course because that meant Christmas. 2015 was full of so many fun and new experiences. One of them of course was release of my Crochet Animal Lovie book. Later that year I completed a Knit Animal Crochet book which was released this month January 2016. Some of you may have already seen it.
Both books are available at Joann’s, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Some people have told me they have found it at other stores as well. The Crochet Animal Lovie book also has a mini-book format that is available for sale only at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately the Knit Animal Lovie book will not be made into the mini-book format. Both books are also available for purchase online from LeisureArts.com They also have a downloadable version.
I want to host a giveaway to welcome in 2016. I will be giving away 3 signed copies of my Animal Lovie book. The winners will be able to choose either the Crochet or Knit version. I realize that everyone does both so this will give everyone a chance to choose the book the prefer.
To enter this giveaway just
1) become a member of this blog (It’s free and your info is never shared) and

Even beginners can crochet this granny square baby sweater. Super easy and adorable.
Yes, you can crochet a Baby sweater using only Granny squares. By using only basic granny squares and very easy sewing you can make this cute little crochet granny square baby sweater. You will need 12 squares.
You can only any color combinations. Here I used two colors a lilac and white. If you like you can change colors on each row but I choose to work two rounds of lilac with my last two rounds in white.
I would recommend that you make your fourth row the same color on all your squares. This will help to hide any seam work by using that same matching color to sew all your pieces together.
This is a great way to use up your scraps of yarn as well. If you don’t know how to sew your pieces together don’t worry I have included the link for an easy to follow video tutorial. I show two methods for sewing your pieces together. Choose whichever your prefer.
This should fit a baby 6-9 months old. If you need to make it bigger you could either 1) Use a larger hook 2) Add another row on the granny squares to make larger squares.
Babies always need sweaters and this granny square crochet sweater makes a great gift. It seems every time I give one of these as gifts they are really appreciated. It works up pretty fast and people will be really impressed.
One thing I also love about this is that they are versatile and can be customized for any baby. Just simply choose your preferred colors. Even camo yarn can be used for those babies of service members. School colors are also a popular choice as are the traditional colors of pink for girls, blue for boys.
