Specialty Items

To follow along on Christmas 2012, my mom requested some towel toppers and a table runner.  Both entered new territories for me. (Pattern locations to be posted later.)

With all of the extra yarn I had left over from the infamous Christmas 2012, I took a shot at making some baby booties from a pattern I found here.  Although cute, not every baby agrees to keep them on...this was my daughter.

After going public with my skills, my dad requested some specialty items as well for around the house.

Hats

The first hat that I ever made was for my infant daughter.  It was made with cotton yarn which shrunk the first time I washed it...thus teaching me: you don't use cotton yarn for clothing (unless that's what someone specifically wants)!

From there, I had an idea of how to make a basic earflap hat.  Besides the infant hat, I made a hat for my Brother-In-Law for Christmas 2012.

At Christmas, my Father-In-Law liked his scarf so much, he put in an early birthday gift request for a hat.  Knowing his birthday isn't until April, I of course made it as soon as I finished the late Christmas gifts and shipped it off so it could get some use before the Spring.

For those of you who know how quickly babies grow, you know by now, it was already time to make a new hat for my daughter.  This pattern can be found here.

I made this hat for my neighbor's son in September 2013.

My husband also needed a hat after watching me make gifts for everyone else, I didn't finish it until after Christmas, but with the way winters are around here, he still had plenty of time to make use of it.  I found this amazing pattern here.  Just this past winter, I made hats for me and my now-toddler-daughter as well.

I later turned this hat into an earflap hat as my daughter quickly outgrew this hat as well.

In preparation for Christmas 2013, I started making some unique Santa Hats for my family...in hopes to get a great Christmas card photo.  After going public with my newly found crochet abilities, my husband's Aunt ordered a couple for herself and her husband.  This pattern can be found here.

My Nana requested a Forest Green Hat and a family friend and my neighbor requested a beard hat for their toddlers.  This same friend also requested a Frosty the Snowman Hat, that I created myself, for a special photo shoot.

Mittens

This is the first and only pair of mittens I have ever made for my Brother's Girlfriend for Christmas 2012.  This is also the first pattern I ever had to follow.  I got the pattern from here.

Scarves

Scarves were the next easiet thing in line for me.  They didn't require a pattern and can be made any length, width...any size you want.

The first scarf I ever made was for the lady who worked in the mailroom at work.

After that, I didn't crochet again until I needed to make gifts for Christmas 2012.  Considering I didn't start on the gifts until Thanksgiving, I only had about a month to make all my gifts.  I've learned better!

In order to match my daughter's toddler hat, I made this toddler scarf.  It's mostly used as a toy, but when she gets it wrapped around her neck it's the cutest thing ever.

Baby Blanket

The first thing I ever crocheted...that could actually be given to someone.

My dad re-taught me the basic single crochet and I just made the most basic blanket I could for my little cousin born in February 2011.  I, myself, am adverse to everything pink for little girls so I found the next best colors. 

Seaspray Ombre

 

After learning from my own experiences, when a friend requested a baby blanket as a gift, I recommended that we use a pattern, which can be found here.
