Crochet Collection

I learned how to crochet in November 2012. This post has a sample of some projects I have done since then. As time goes on, I will begin to share the patterns that I use. Stay Tuned! (many of these have been gifts, so some may look familiar :)). 







Both booty sets (Pink/Yellow Set and Grey/Yellow Set) are inspired by several different patterns.
Pink Hat is designed by Kate Alvis on Ravelry.com
The pink and gray booties are from Lion Brand's website, here.
The Big Flowers on the hats are from this website.



 I really wanted to make an infinity scarf. I found the pattern for the cowl on the right from this blog. I found it to be really tight, so I made one twice as long, with the same beautiful (back loop) half double crochet stitch (on the left). It is much more comfortable. I used Lion Brand Hometown USA super bulky yarn in Grand Rapids green. For the cowl on the right I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Chunky in Wheat (a little scratchy). 




This is a hat with a brim pattern that I found on Red Heart's website. I wouldn't wear it in public, but it was a fun project, and fun to wear around home.
















Above and below are some of my very first crochet projects. It is fun to look back and see how far I have come since I learned in November 2012.
