Under the Sea Design Contest

We haven't done any contest in a while so with the new release of the Mermaid 

pattern is larger sizes I thought it would be fun. I don't want to limit you to just the Mermaid patterns so read the rules below and lets have some fun!! 

Contest Under the Sea Theme

You can use any of the following patterns from my shop! Anything water related like the 

Mermaid, Turtle, Lobster, Crab, Alligator/Crocodile, Penguin, Frog and If you think of others I missed or have a creative spin on others that are photographed water related than that's fine too, just make sure the pattern is from my shop! You can combine it with other patterns and of course put your own spin on it! I doesn't have to look exactly like the pattern! That's the fun part! 

This is not a voting contest. Depending on the amount of entries will determine how many winners. I think I'm going to go shopping for fun prizes like, yarn, crochet tools and patterns! I'll be sure to let you know very soon! 

This Contest will start now and will run through The end of May! That will give you over a month to plan and make some thing special. Winners will be chosen the 1st week in June!

 Just make the item you choose, photograph a good clear picture, then submit!

Tie Back Glasses NB Prop - Free Crochet Pattern

Okay so these might seem a little silly to some but they were super fun to design. One of my photographers recently asked if I could make some Clark Kent glasses to go with a Superbaby Cape Set I made for her. I thought crochet glasses might prove a challenge but I was happy to try and I love the end results! I rarely work with tiny hooks but I needed them to be stiff and not overly huge. So with that said lets get to the pattern :) 

Newborn Glasses Prop

Do not use my images for any purpose! If you sell items made from my patterns please make and photograph your own work! Thank you! ~Elisabeth

*D - hook 

*Small amounts of worsted weight black yarn

*Gauge - Crochet as tight as possible for stiff glasses! 

*Tapestry Needle

*Terms and Stitches used: (ch) chain, (st) stitch, (sl st) slip stitch, (sc) single crochet, (dc) double crochet

Frames

 Make 2 - (one for right and one for left side)

Round 1: ch 22, join with a sl st to 1st ch (make sure not to twist the ch)

Round 2: ch 1, sc in 1st st, (sc, ch 1, sc) in next st, sc in next 6 sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in next st, sc in next 3 sts, (sc, ch 1, sc) in next st, sc in next 6 sc, (sc, ch 1, sc) in next st, sc in next 2 sts, join with sl st to 1st sc, ch 50 

Fasten off. Pull tight so the end will knot up. 

Center Nose Piece

Ch 5, dc in 3rd ch from the hook, sc in next ch, dc in last ch, 

Fasten off, but leave a long tail for sewing. 

*Sew Nose Piece to center insides, on the top of the glasses. 

While the pattern is only written as a newborn prop you could easily make them larger by increasing your hook size! 

I really hope you love the pattern! I'm working up a rounder frame too and will try to add that pattern soon!

New Emma Bonnet and Doily Cape Set

Announcing our newest design!

The Emma Bonnet and Vintage Doily Cape Set

Photography by: Forever Captured Photography
Set made by Pattern Tester: Jennifer Neerhof of Willow Works

I'm very excited for this new set. It's lacy and light with a vintage feel. 

The Doily prop can be used as a cape to drape over the baby, used as a basket detail, or underneath the baby. Maybe add grandma vintage broach or pearls to add those special touches. 

Its a prop that can be use other ways than just baby. After you are done getting those special photos use the doily on tables or put it in a frame or shadow box as wall decor. 

 The Doily makes a great home decor item!

You can easily use any yarn or hook size to make these doily's smaller or bigger for just the right look of course exact details are given in the pattern for the Newborn size. 

You are going to love this pattern! My pattern testers have already fallen in love with these sets! 

This pattern comes with two edging options a scalloped edge or a more defined picot edge (pointed) use them together or use them separate. 

Aren't these gorgeous! They are made with worsted weight yarn and takes less than a skien to make the entire set and works up fairly fast! 

 You could try a light and lofty mohair or lace weight just be sure to check that gauge. 

I can't wait to see these on more babies soon! 

This new release will be on sale in Ravelry Today - Thursday April 18th (Ending Midnight Central) 

$3.99 (reg. $5.95)
