Ice Princess Wig and Crown

If you have a little girl in your house I'm sure she's just as in love with Frozen as my almost 5 year old. She loves singing "Let It go" and giving warm hugs! So with all the Frozen fun we'll be planning a Frozen themed 5th birthday later in May.  I got a head start by making her a wig and crown! I didn't follow this pattern exactly but I drew inspiration from Stitch 11's Princess Hat and Princess Crown free patterns. They should guide you along just fine to make your princess a special set! 

For my hat I choose a basic hdc beanie. For a different look I added a Reverse Single Crochet edging. Then I added a very long, thick braid along 1/4 of the base of the hat.  

The Tiara I decided to make separate so she would have it without the wig if she wanted! I still want to add some glittery snowflake buttons on the braid, but they seem to have melted! 

I cannot find them! ;) 

She loves her hat and enjoyed smiling and dancing for the camera!

 Now to plan the rest of the outfit! I'm pretty sure a Tutu is in order! 

Sunseeker Sunhat Crochet Pattern

Yikes it's been a few months since I released a new design. Guess I just needed a little time off and some inspiration. I'm very excited for this new pattern. Introducing....

The Sunseeker Sunhat

 My darling daughter Calleigh is the whole inspiration behind this design. We were at my Local Yarn Shop : Gourmet Yarn Company in OKC and she said I had to find golden yarn! It's her favorite color (at the moment). Then she saw it golden sparkly yarn! I don't work with lighter weight yarns often so I thought it would be a fun change, plus it was a cotton blend so something spring/summer would be a perfect choice. She picked out a style and design idea with a little bit of my help. 

She looooves her new hat and wants to wear it all the time. 

The hat is made with a lightweight yarn and small hook but don’t let that scare you. It works up fairly quickly. The design features floral diagonal clusters and a ruffle brim. Of course you could easily leave off the brim and make it a beanie. While the yarn can be ordered online from Casacade yarns. I’ve also included several substitute options from common craft shops that might be more accessible to you!

This hat is perfect for by the pool or how about a new hat to go with the Easter dress or spring dresses in general! 

Grab a copy of the Sunseeker Sunhat and make it for all the little girls who love the summer sun, flowers and ruffles! 

Wed April 2nd - Thur. April 3rd you can get $1.00 off the regular $4.50 price. 

You can find it in all my shops below!
