Monkey Hat Free Crochet Pattern

Another free pattern! This time for a Monkey Hat. It calls for Red Heart Super saver yarns and will fit most adults (green). I did the blue with a sport weight and smaller hook so it will fit most children. So you are getting a two for one with this pattern.
The mouth, eyes and nose are felt that can be either glued on or sewn on.
Enjoy!

Free Vintage Pattern: Open Crown Hat & Bag

This vintage pattern will have you "styling" with the addition of an Open Crown Hat and matching Bag.
The patterns are crochet and from the middle to late 40's.
If you don't like how floppy a hat and purse can get when made solely of yarn you can line it with buckram.
Buckram is a very heavy, but light weight interfacing used in making hats so they will keep their shape.
It's found at most fabric stores, but you do have to ask for it.
Enjoy!

Great Baby Cardigans and Hats Free Vintage Pattern

Here is a great pattern that will work for either a boy or a girl!

I believe the pattern is from the late 50's and features a super cute cardigan in 2 colors as well as a tam style hat, baseball hat, booties and mittens.

Remember with vintage patterns the terms may be a little different that what you are use to, but for the most part they can be figured out.  Also the brands and types of yarns called for may not still be made, but if you pay attention to the weight of the yarn called for you can easily find  a substitute.

Enjoy

Black & White Hat, Scarf and Mittens Set Free Crochet Patterns

It's been a long time I know. 
I had a bad move to a rural area where power hits killed my hard drive before I found my surge protector.  Thank heavens for back ups!
So many things got mis-laid and probably more are still in boxes.  Yes I did label all the boxes like: Kitchen.  Problem is that was all I put on the boxes that held everything that goes into my kitchen, including food, towels, the junk drawer, etc.  It was 3 days before I found my pots and pans.
Today is my first day to republish my free pattern site after wading through copies of copies that were mirrored in my back up. It is for a HAT, SCARF and MITTENS that are made of blocks of color. 
As long as you know how to single crochet, double crochet (my favorite stitch combination for texture) and how to drop and pick up colors you can make this set.

The easiest to make is the scarf. 

You could change the colors to match the colors of a favorite football team or how about school colors.  Great way to earn a little extra cash making scarves in your school colors!

There is also a PURSE that can go with the set.

One or all would make nice gifts.

Maybe you could make a HAT for Uncle George, a SCARF for sister Sue, MITTENS for little Sammy and a PURSE  for Aunt Mable! 

Wouldn't you just love the look on their faces if they all showed up with their gifts! Especially if you made them all in the same two colors!

Enjoy!
