Craft. Crochet. Create.
These crochet boat slippers look a bit like crochet Sperrys! You will love making them and love wearing them. They feature a double sole for extra comfort, and the ties are both decorative and to keep the slippers cozy and in place. Be sure to add one of these 7 tried and tested methods and make your slippers non-slip.

What have you been working on this summer? I have been focusing on light and fast projects, and brainstorming Christmas and Fall (yes, it’s time to start thinking about it!). This boho crochet headband was a pattern I designed four years ago, and it was always a design I liked, but the delivery and pattern design were seriously lacking (if you don’t remember, it had a large button on the back and was worked rather funky with unattached chains). The pattern was confusing but since it was 4 years ago, I wasn’t sure how to make it better. I’m happy that I finally got around to fixing the pattern for this cute boho crochet headband this week! Not only is it easy, but it’s super fast too. You will want to make them for everyone :) I have included 3 sizes, but this headband is super easy to change into whatever size you want or need.

Can you believe that we are on the downward slope to June? Spring is my absolute favorite time of year and it seems in Utah, it just skipped right past us. It’s okay, though, because summer is the perfect time to release these women’s strap flip-flops summer slippers!
Hello everyone! Who is looking forward to spring? I know I am. The Boy say it’s too cold to play outside (5 minutes after our 10-minute bundling-up routine), and I am growing weary of our yearly valley inversion. So I decided to start reworking some of my spring and summer patterns. Somehow it helps! I finished the video pattern for the Baby Button Gladiator Sandal booties, and have make a few tweaks to the written pattern so make sure to get the most up-to-date version here.
These booties sandals are still my favorite to make and are so cute on little baby feet!
Make sure you are careful with the buttons, they could be a possible choking hazard.

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a safe and fun celebration! We have been trying to stay warm in our “new” vintage home. It’s a bit drafty and while we work on getting it sealed up, we are having to bundle up a bit more than usual. Of course, the first step to feeling warm is having warm feet! We all bought new slippers and Sis needed some as well (those darn baby socks refuse to stay on her feet). Time for a new crochet pattern ;) I was so pleased with how these baby bubble booties turned out! They are super cute on baby feet, and the ties make sure they stay put.
Happy weekend everyone! Today I am over at One Artsy Mama sharing the crochet pattern to these simple newborn boots. They are warm and cozy for little newborn toes, plus they actually stay on her feet (something that socks don’t really do!)! They are also very simple and work up nice and quick.
So hop over and get the free pattern.
Happy crocheting!
Happy December everyone! Though we are still waiting for snow here in Northern Utah, it’s been very chilly! It’s been chilly enough for me to start working on some warm and cozy patterns and projects. Since The Boy is growing like a weed, he needed a new winter hat. I decided to make him this Toddler Trapper Hat, big-boy version of the adorable Baby Button Trapper Hat. It’s just as adorable on him as it is on an infant, so this pattern is definitely a win.

This week has been a bit crazy (and will be followed by a few more crazy weeks, yikes!). I wanted to share this simple vertical stripe baby beanie. I am a huge lover of stripes, and this Vertical Stripe Baby Hat turned out exactly how I wanted it to (that doesn’t happen very often!).
Thanks to Lion Brand Yarn for sending yarn to me for this project!
Welcome to the Crochet Along! Today I am sharing my square, the aztec stripes square.
The next few weeks are going to be exciting! I am going to be a part of The Blog Hop Crochet Along! Nine other bloggers and I are teaming up and releasing one new afghan square pattern every weekday for a month. Crochet along with us and you will have a gorgeous new afghan just in time for the holiday season!
Here’s how it is going to work:
We would love if you crocheted along with us. If you’d like to add a button to your blog or website you can grab this one here:
You can find links to all the other patterns at the end of this post. The links will be updated daily!
My first post will be tomorrow!
Some of you may know that I am in the process of shooting video tutorials for all my crochet patterns! It has proven to be quite time-consuming, so I hope you all will bear with me as I get them done (slowly but surely).
I was able get another one finished this week! The newest video pattern is the Monk Strap Baby Booties.
I am excited to share another new sandal pattern today! Since we found out our little bun-in-the-oven is a girl, I am going into nesting overdrive, and crochet ideas (especially little girl ideas) have been popping into my head. I love how these Baby Barefoot Gladiator Sandals turned out, and this little baby’s mama loved them too!
So (I guess) the Boy isn’t a baby anymore! He helps fold the washcloths, picks up his toys, throws dirty laundry in the washer and helps transfer wet clothes into the dryer. He also does me a HUGE favor by not throwing a fit when it’s time to change his diaper (Not even interested in potty-training yet, humph!). But I decided he could probably handle some of his bath time by himself as well. The Boy is very much into sea creatures right now, so I knew he would love this little whale bath mitt. This little mitt works up pretty quick, and I love this 100% cotton yarn. It absorbs water and gets a nice lather, and completely dries when hung up.

Crochet in the summertime can get a bit tricky. Who wants a super warm scarf, or thick, cozy slippers in the summer? Maybe someone, but not this overheated pregnant lady.
Since I love baby shoes, and I love designing baby shoes, I knew I needed to get on a new summer pattern for those little feet! These crochet baby flip-flops are a win!
Hello everyone! You know that I love designing baby stuff, but I am trying really hard to branch out (although I have THREE cute baby shoe patterns coming out soon, stay tuned!). The Boy loves Yo Gabba Gabba, so I thought I would try this simple guy as my first amigurumi pattern. Thankfully, this pattern was pretty simple to design and pretty easy to work up. Do you have a Yo Gabba Gabba fan in your house? It has catchy songs, fun, whimsical characters and actual scenes that a toddler can relate to (interestingly enough). This is Muno (“He’s tall and happy”). He is courteous of others, loves eating noodles, is near-sited [although he gets glasses (or a glass?) AND a contact lens all in one episode] and lives in a pink and purple desert. He is The Boy’s favorite character, so I knew he would love him.
These fabulous crochet fishnet gloves are made with the diamond mesh stitch. They works up very fast and have a squish and stretchy texture. Make them in bright colors for an 80’s outfit, or black for your halloween costume.

For this next installment page for our Gabbaland quiet book, I did the next easiest one: Toodeeland! Just three colors and lots of nice straight edges to cut.
In case you missed it, my first page was Brobeeland, and The Boy is wondering when the next pages will be done, so I really need to get this finished for him.
You can find a printable template HERE.

This pattern has been a long time coming… phew! Do any of you have projects that you work on a little bit here and there, but never seem to finish? That was this pattern for some reason. But it’s okay, because springtime is the perfect time to release this pattern! Still cool enough to need something on cold little feet, but the maritime theme to these cute toddler boat slippers are springy as well.
I know we are all thinking about spring, (ahem…right here) but I have one more warm, wintry pattern to share. Maybe you can put these lacy boot cuffs in your queue for next winter, or maybe you can travel to WY and realize that is it still very much winter there. (We drove through a blizzard in WY this weekend!)
This chunky button ribbed beanie pattern will hopeful be the last of my winter patterns. Although it;s still very cold here, I am going to give Mother Nature a nudge and start designing sandals and decor and see if she follow me lead :) Come on, spring!
Even though it’s still pretty cold outside, my crochet ideas are actually shifting more towards spring (gotta get started early!). I have a few more wintry ideas up my sleeve, but this will be my last winter baby bootie pattern until next fall. Yay for spring!
These baby moccasin boots are so sweet and warm! I made a cute rose-pink pair for my brand new niece, and her mama said they kept her teeny toes warm and cozy. I should have made her a pair in each size, because she had them on her feet all winter long.
Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Mine was bittersweet. It was our first Christmas with just our little family of three, which was nice, but I missed my family and our traditional Christmas Eve festivities. With most of the busyness out of the way, I decided to share this hexagon scarf with you today! I have been loving the hexagon trend, and I really wanted to incorporate it into a fun pattern.
