Cute Sock Monkey Hats

So I had to share my cute little sock monkey hats I made for my nephews. All I can say is that it's about time I got them done! Whew, sick kids will do that to your schedule. Lol.

These hats are so easy and fun to make.

The pattern is from our very own Cat! She wrote this pattern and used to sell it in her etsy site until she closed it. If you would like to purchase the pattern you can contact her through email at (nutsinanutshell(at)gmail(dot)com). Or if you want to purchase it I am selling them in my etsy shop here. I make them in all sizes, newborn to adult.

I made these with 100% Pure Wool for the majority of the hat. The wool was really easy to use. I had no problems with it. It went very smoothly following her pattern. I loved that there were so many options available in the pattern. I made identical hats so my 2 yr old nephew would steal his younger brother's hat. The pattern has different mouth options and ear flap sizes too.

I really enjoyed making these for my nephews. It was a lot of fun and I have another one on my list to make. My husband wants one to and I've been promising it for forever, it's about time I got it done!

Introducing the Bunny Backpack!!

So I really wanted to make something for my daughter for Easter. I'm not much of a decorator so everything basically has to have some purpose other than sitting on a shelf gathering dust. And dust it does collect because I just can't seem to get stuff up and down on a regular basis unless it's Halloween or Christmas, lol. Anyway so I was talking with my husband and he whips up some really cute backpack designs. Now it's a lot easier and faster for him to draw his design than it is for me to create it but creating it is still a lot of fun. Introducing the bunny backpack...

You can tell by this picture that she absolutely loved it!

Here's some more pictures of just the backpack itself.

I actually had a bunch of ideas on how to make it work out and then they failed. So I turned to trusty Google and found a really cute bunny hat pattern. It's by Rhondda at Oombawka Design. Just now as I went to get the link I found a new blog post with a revised version of the pattern with six size options. You can find the post here.

It was a fun pattern but the ears weren't right when I crocheted them. I had to modify the pattern. Disclaimer: I have not checked out the new pattern to see if it works since I just found it. I'll try it out for next time.

If you're a crocheter stay tuned for the pattern for this backpack. If you're not and you'd like this, you can purchase one here. I can customize any color and size you'd like, just let me know and we can work it out.

I hope you all have a great March!
