Crocodile Stitch Scarf

You may be asking yourself, "Why is she posting about scarves when it is still unnaturally hot outside?" Well, to put it simply, I just love to make scarves and this one is my absolute favorite!

About a year ago I found these really beautifully colored yarns (Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable) and just couldn't pass them up. But like I usually do, I compulsively bought them with no project in mind. So my stash grew slightly bigger and I was once again stumped. Until I started brainstorming...

The crocodile scale stitch is really quite beautiful and is a really easy "pattern" to learn. I designed my own pattern for a triangle scarf using this stitch. Here is the latest one.

This pattern uses just less than one full skein of this particular yarn. I love the self-striping because even using the same color yarn, you still get slightly different results with 2 different skeins. Here are a couple more I have done.

I have this pattern for sale on both Ravlery and Etsy. BUT, if you would like to get a FREE copy, become a follower of my page and comment on this post with your email address and it will be sent right over to you!

Happy Crocheting :)

Lacy Crochet Baby Blanket

A couple weeks ago I wrote a post about blankets and their ability to go unfinished once I start them (Here is the post). Well let me tell you, I finally won a battle over a blanket! This blanket came out just the way I envisioned it would. It is the perfect design for a new baby girl. Here is the finished product!

And here is a closeup of the design. The blanket's true color does not show here, but I think that has to do with my camera being so close to it. 

If you like this pattern, you can find it here. It's a great free pattern that's super easy to read and has different sizes available. 

If you would like to purchase this blanket, I have it for sell in my Etsy shop here. 

Pillowcase Dress

So summer is here and in full swing! If you're looking for a great summer dress for your sweet little princess, here is a perfect one!! I used the tutorial from The Mother Huddle and let me tell you, it is WONDERFUL!!! The blog provides several sizes, tie options, and a tutorial on how to add a lining. I made one of these for my daughter and she doesn't want to stop wearing it. They make great play clothes too! So if you sew this would be a great project and it's easy on your pocket book too! If you don't sew, I am offering these through my Etsy shop: Chloe's Crochet Corner. These can truly be one of a kind dresses with endless fabric possibilities!! Look at my sweet little model :)
