Pattern Updates - Chunky Monkey and Lil' Mouse


Exciting news! 

I'm making time to slowly go through my patterns and give them a fresh update. Especially the ones that I wrote in my 1st year.  I've learned a lot over the past couple years writing patterns and I want to make sure you are getting the best pattern possible.  

These are getting re-formatted. Some are getting additional sizes and all are being re-tested by my wonderful group of pattern testers.  I can't thank them enough for their help.  They are so appreciated. I'm not accepting new testers at this time but when I do I'll be sure to post more info on it (which may be soon!) 

Currently we have already updated the Owlette, Ladybug and the Bumble Bee Cuddle Critter Cape Sets. You can read about these updates in this post 

This week we are updating the Chunky Monkey and Lil Grey Mouse ! 






You can find these in my pattern shops, but I have a special sale on these two patterns in Raverly only! 
Now through Thurs. April 11th at midnight Central 
40% off these two only 
Use Coupon Code : update2013

If you previously purchased on Raverly or Craftsy you should have got an update. If you want an update you'll need to email Proof of Purchase by providing your Etsy, Artifire or Paypal receipt. 

In these two particular patterns we've added the new format, fixed a few minor errors, mostly spacing and grammar. Not really anything that effects the pattern itself. These patterns also now have the added edging instructions which I didn't do when I 1st started designing the capes and they help make a cleaner edge!  We've also added 3-6 month sizing! 
The Monkey has re-designed tail instructions but they are simpler to understand.

I hope you will enjoy these updates. I have over 50+ pattern that need these revisions so stay tuned for more in the coming months! 

Enjoy!

Popsicle Snuggy - Free Crochet Pattern

It was a lovely Easter Weekend! Spring has sprung and we already have warm weather in the 80's. It was perfect day to pull out the popsicles and spend the afternoon outside. I usually just give the kids a small hot pad or wash rag to wrap around those icy freezy pops! I decided it was a good day to whip up  some simple snuggy's. These are easy to make, whip up fast and are great for small scraps of yarn you're not sure what to do with! My kids really loved them! I know you will too. Enjoy! 


Popsicle Snuggy



H Hook 
Cotton Worsted Weight Yarn like Lilly Sugar N Cream, 
*You could also use acrylic worsted if desired 
*Tapestry Needle

Notes: 
*Chain stitch does not count in stitch count!
*The number at the end of each row is the stitch count for the row(#)
*Measures approx 5 1/2 - 6 inches in length
*Gauge: 1” x 1” swatch = 3 rows of 4 sc 

Worked in Continuous Rounds. Do not join rounds. 

Round 1: ch 5, 2 sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc in next 2 chs, 2 sc in last ch, continue your work on the opposite side of the chain, sc in next 2 ch, sc in last ch { same st you worked the 1st 2 sts in}  (9) 

Round 2: sc in next 9 sts (9)

Round 3-18: sc in next 9 sts (9) 

To finish off, skip next st, sl st to next st, fasten off and weave in ends.
