Boho Crochet Headband – Free Crochet Pattern

June 8, 2018 by Bethany 16 Comments

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!

Button Gladiator Sandal Booties Update and Video

January 31, 2015 by Bethany 2 Comments

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.

Toddler Trapper Hat Free Crochet Pattern

December 5, 2014 by Bethany 15 Comments

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.

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.

Women’s Crochet Boat Slippers

August 28, 2014 by Bethany 216 Comments

I can’t believe this, but it’s beginning to feel like Autumn around here. It is probably just the rain. I would be completely fine if Mother Nature decides to warm it back up for a few weeks, but the break from the heat has been nice, too. It has made me a bit excited for sweaters and hot cocoa though (I may or may not have had hot cocoa for breakfast this morning).

I figured it might be getting cold somewhere; I am looking at you Michigan and Wyoming! So I decided to release these cute and comfy crochet boat slippers. I have been selling it in my Etsy shop for the past 10 months, but I decided to release it for free!

Baby Barefoot Gladiator Sandals

July 25, 2014 by Bethany 60 Comments

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!

Toddler Whale Bath Mitt

July 16, 2014 by Bethany 8 Comments

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 Baby Strap Flip Flop Sandals

I use affiliate links. For more information, click here.

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!

Muno Plushy

June 14, 2014 by Bethany 4 Comments

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.

Crochet Fishnet Fingerless Gloves

April 18, 2014 by Bethany 12 Comments

This coming week is going to be a bit busy. I have a big creative blogger conference, and one of the events in an 80’s party (I can’t decide if I am excited or not, I don’t really love dancing in public with strangers). I am a bit of an introvert in certain situations! Anyway, I knew I needed some funky neon accessories, so I whipped up these Crochet Fishnet Fingerless Gloves using the diamond mesh stitch. They work up pretty quick, and I love how they look with this bright yarn! So fun.

Depending on the yarn, these could really be for anything! They are super comfortable to wear, too.

FISHNET FINGERLESS GLOVES

What you need:
G hook
Medium Weight Yarn (Caron SS Paints)

Abbreviations: (American Terms)
Ch – Chain
St – Stitch
Sc – Single Crochet
Hdc – Half Double Crochet
Dc – Double Crochet
Sk – Skip
Sl st – Slip Stitch

Notes: You can always customize the size! Make this band larger/shorter for a different size. Then adjust the rest of the pattern accordingly.

1. Work a ch-less sc foundation, 32 sts. (adjust in multiples of 4)
2. Ch 1. Sc in each st around. (36 sts)

No need to create holes of your thumbs, just find a corresponding hole in the mesh.

Toddler Boat Slippers Crochet Pattern

March 18, 2014 by Bethany 163 Comments

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.

Lacy Boot Cuffs

February 24, 2014 by Bethany 16 Comments

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!)

Chunky Button Ribbed Beanie

February 5, 2014 by Bethany 20 Comments

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!

Baby Moccasin Boots

February 3, 2014 by Bethany 24 Comments

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.
