Bunny Ear Beanie

Ok so we have taken quite alot of time off, sorry everyone I guess it happens.

 This was a beanie Harmony asked me to make for baby Livy and of course I can't say no to Harmony or Livy.

I started with a regular beanie, a pattern that I am most comfortable making.

(If you want that pattern I can email it to you)

Ears

Make 2 outer ears using white.
Row 1: Ch 35 or more if you want longer ears
Row 2: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, (sc in next ch, hdc in next 4 ch, dc in next 4 ch, triple crochet in next 15 ch, dc in next 4 ch, hdc in next 4 ch, sc in next 2 ch)
Row 3: Ch 1 and connect to other side of ch 35 with a sc. Then (sc in next ch, hdc in next 4 ch, dc in next 4 ch, tr in next 15 ch, dc in next 4 ch, hdc in next 4 ch, sc in next 2 ch)
Row 4: Ch 1 and connect to other side with a sc. Then (sc in next ch, hdc in next 4 ch, dc in next 4 ch, tr in next 15 ch, dc in next 4 ch, hdc in next 4 ch, sc in next 2 ch) you can continue if you would like a wider ear...
Row 5: Ch 1 and sc around and fasten off.

Make 2 inner ears with color of your choiceRepeat Outer ears Rows 1-4
Stack ears together and connect with a sc around

Then lay your beanie flat and eye how far down from the top you want your ears to start and sew them on.

Teddy Bear Beanie and Diaper Cover

       I love the way this turned out, and thanks again Niki you did a great job with these pictures.



Crochet Flower Hair Clip

            I love to crochet, it is relaxing and I am able to do it while watching my kids play or watching TV.

                                          

   Lets Get Started!

This is a two tone flower that I did with Lily Sugar'n Cream 100% cotton yarn in white and hot pink, I used a size G hook. I like this yarn for hair clips because it is soft, bright, and lays flat.   

   

 These are the abbreviations Ch = Chain, sl st = slip stitch, dc = double crochet.

 You start with white, this will be the middle of the flower.  Ch 5 join this into a ring with a sl st at the first chain.

On the second round ch 3, (I count this as the first dc) then work 9 dc in the ring for a total of 10. Join w/ sl st in the top of ch.

This is where we are going to change colors, make a loop with your pink and stick it into the white loop, pull the white tight and pull the pink until it is the right size to keep going ( you can cut the white off, leave a tail about 2 to 3 in long) tie a small knott with the tail of the white and pink.   Round 3 we are going to start with ch 2, 3 dc in the next st, ch 2 and sl st in the next st. repeat this until you have five pettles then fasten off sew the tails into the flower. You can embellish your flower with a cute button or bling. 
 I found the basic pattern for this here .
Hot glue flower to hair clip and your done.  P.S. Wait for the hot glue to dry before you try it on.
