Craft. Crochet. Create.
Did you know you can do fair isle patterns with crochet? This crochet snowflake fair isle hat was inspired by the Team Canada toques, but it’s something everyone will love.

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 Crochet 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!).

When I was pregnant with my son, I decided to learn to crochet, you know, booties, hats and whatnot. Well, relearn, I should say (I took a crochet class for 4-H when I was in 2nd grade, got a blue ribbon on my granny squares).
Thank goodness for youtube! If you want to learn how to do ANYTHING, someone has posted a very helpful video tutorial. The internet is awesome.
My skills are still quite rudimentary, but I really enjoy it and there are some super-cute patterns on Etsy. Not to mention the plethora of FREE patterns out there. Restatement: the internet is awesome.
So, I thought I would throw another free pattern into the mix. It’s pretty simply and easy to make: the Striped Hipster Slouchy Beanie!
