Crochet Gifts 2014

I show my love for family and friends by giving handmade gifts! I figure they are sick of the same old stuff and handmade means you get something one of a kind and hopefully useful. Here are some crochet gifts I made this year along with links to the free patterns(photos are my own). 

Dragon

I did make a few alteration to the pattern as advised by others on Ravelry

Pattern by Lucy Ravenscar

Purse

I've had this pattern saved on Pinterest for a while but was overwhelmed by the chart pattern. I got over it and love how this turned out!

Pattern by Pierrot Yarns 
If you're interested in trying this pattern check out my tutorial to accompany the chart pattern. 

Puppy

This beagle puppy is so cute as are all amigurumi patterns from this designer. I found eyes and nose at Hobby Lobby

Pattern by Mary Walker

Button Infinity Scarf

These beautiful wood buttons are very reasonably priced at Hobby Lobby

Pattern by Fiber Flux

Brain Waves Beanie

Love all patterns from this designer and this one is free!

Pattern by Playin' Hooky Designs

Shell Stitch Cowl

Pattern by All About Ami

Ribbed Button Cowl

I didn't double up the yarn I used for this as the pattern called for and it came out just fine.

Pattern by Creative Jewish Mom

Color Block Earflap Hat

This is my go to earflap hat pattern. For this hat I changed it up a little by making longer in the back.

Pattern By Repeat Crafter Me

Bacon Scarf

My kid has this thing with bacon because of a ridiculous YouTube music video. He's going to LOVE this!
Pattern by Drunken Aunt Wendy

Hooded Cowl

Special request from my teen son.
Original design by me...pattern coming soon!

Crochet Christmas Gifts!

Christmas is almost here and I'm almost done with my gifts! Friends and family...you may or may not receive a package from me by Christmas! Of course I waited till the last minute and then I had to rush to get it all done. Individually these projects don't take long at all, so if you're looking for a fun gift to make, you might still have time!

Here are some of the crochet projects I have been working on this month with the links to sites where I got the patterns(free).

Ear flap hat pattern from Repeat Crafter Me

Crochet Skull Pattern from Nirvana Designs

Slouch Granny stitch hat from Red Heart

Follow the pattern that gives you the width you need and just add rows to make longer.

I started to do this hat pattern from Drops Design but decided I didn't like how it started with 7 rows of double crochet before switching to the clusters. I changed over to the Red Heart pattern that has clusters throughout the whole thing. I did keep the flower from the Drops pattern though.

Men's Slouch Hat from Drops Design

Men's Fingerless Gloves from Jen Spears on Ravelry

Sock Monkey Hat by Repeat Crafter Me

Shark Time Pouch from Moogly

Girl's Granny Stitch Scarf

For base row chain in multiples of four plus 2 at the end. Hdc in 3rd from hook, hdc in next two stitches, chain 1, skip 1 stitch and hdc in next three. Continue groups of three hdc, end with group of four hdc. Continue scarf as you would a granny square with double crochets.

Queen Anne's Lace Scarf from 1CraftyBoy

Mike Wazowski Amigurumi from Lanas Y Ovillos
This pattern is in Spanish but it comes with a video and you can always click the translate button on your computer and figure it out.
