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!

Let's Crochet for Charity

This weekend I thought I would do something good by crocheting, hopefully giving a little help to less fortunates putting together yarns, hook and my hands....


I looked on the internet for charities that need help from crocheters and knitters and I run into Kofia, a charity which, as the website says, is "asking people to make baby hats for a remote community in Berega, Tanzania. A simple act which will save the lives of malnourished and premature babies - just by keeping them warm."

I thought it was a lovely idea....and I thought that by spreading the word among my crocheter friends we could really make a positive difference and help these babies.


Here is the baby warm hat I made today.



I started from the pattern of Adventures in Crochet, added a couple more rounds of dc and decided to add a pom pom with a some green to make it more colorful.


I hope you like the idea and join with some crochet hats to help babies in Tanzania.

Wishing you a lovely weekend

Hat & Booties Crochet Set for a baby on the way

My adorable colleague, Danielle, is waiting for her second baby!!!

She has always supported me in my crochet passion, following step by step all the projects I have been working on... therefore, I thought a crochet present for her baby shower was due!

I found this pattern on Knot Your Nanas Crochet blog and I loved the idea of giving her a full set with hat and baby booties.

As many people here in London, Danielle has decided not to know in advance the sex of the baby in order to receive a beautiful surprise directly on the day of birth!  

So.... I decided to use a neutral color ...and I thought beige could do!











I found the pattern great and easy to follow and I would definitely suggest you to try it!
I simply love the ears on top of the hat!!!

Wishing you a lovely day!

Baby owl hat.... matching with the booties

Good evening London!!!

My evening couldn't be happier at the moment!!! My husband is back in town from New York...and for good!!!

Despite this.... between one thing and another, I managed to get myself back in track on my crochet projects!!! I realized I still had quite a bit of the yarns I had used for my my niece's baby booties...so why not make something that could match with them???

My sister loved this pattern from swellamy...and it seemed to be time to DO IT!!!

And....step by step....I think I made it!!! Here it is!!!


A very cute owl hat for a baby girl.....matching the booties with lovely colors and getting her ready to fight the Milan winter :)))

..not so sure how much babies love wearing hats ...but I just couldn't resist to this pattern...I found it pretty amazing!!!

Hope you guys love it too!!!

Night to you all,
Rory
