Baby festive pom pom hat

This year was going to be the first christmas for my niece Gio...and I wanted to get her delivered something special and quite festive!!


I went shopping for baby festive clothes, got her a snowman jumper and some santa trousers..but I was willing to add a handmade touch... so I started looking for free baby patterns of elf hats or santa ones....



..when I came across this lovely simple long tail stripy hat pattern on A lemon dropp life blog ! I immediately felt in love with it! It was shown in red and white, and so I realized it.


I found it nicely festive but at the same time easy to wear all over the winter  :)



The pattern shown on the blog is very easy to follow, almost completely based on half double crochet stitches with a cute pom pom at the very end!


I have sent a box to my niece to Italy and I can't wait to receive pictures of baby Gio wearing the stripy hat :)


Taking the occasion to wish everyone lovely holidays, hope you enjoy the link to the pattern and try it out as it's very fast and easy to make!

Christmas is on its way... what about preparing crocheted Ice Skates decorations?

I can't believe it that in less than 3 months it will be Christmas!! Actually, to be more precise...we're missing 80 days as per xmasclock!!

It is that period of the year in which I start penciling in all the projects that I would like to realize, starting from decorations and then getting into Christmas presents...

WOW....this year the list is already pretty long!

Therefore, I thought I better start with something small and simple! Here we go....crocheted ice skates!

The pattern comes from Craftstylish and I found it cute and very simple to realize. It doesn't require much time and, with a few paperclips and basic crochet stitches you can realize some pretty decorations for Christmas ahead of time!

These mini crochet Ice Skates are ready to hop on the Xmas tree, but they would also be cute as general decorations of Christmas presents as well as Christmas wishes cards.

I really hope you enjoy them!
