Spring is here which means it’s time to take the kiddo outside to enjoy the weather. After you lather him or her up with suncreen, why not top ’em off with my new, granny square and double crochet Flopsy hat, made with NaturallyCaron.com’s “Country”? My daughter fancies herself a fashionista baby so I made her version in a Mod, black & white. With so many great colors available though, you can’t go wrong no matter your choice. Want a less feminine look? Leave off the picot stitch and replace it with a simple, single crochet border!
Oh and when you make your Flopsy hat, don’t forget to share a photo with us by uploading it to the Cuckoo for Caron Flickr pool–we love see your finished projects!

Introducing: Our WORST sellers! 👎🏼 Get 50% off the things that made you go, “meh”. To see all of things, and maybe pick up something that you kinda liked, but didn’t FULL price like at YarnYAY.com (link in @vickiehowell bio.)...
It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
That is super cute!!!!
What a sweetie pie she is and I love the hat!! I am sad I don’t crochet though!! this would look cute on my granddaughter too!!
that is adorable! i would love that for petunia, except i can’t crochet to save my life! very nice hat tho!
As soon as I find out what the my grandbaby is going to be this cute hat will be on the needles!
