Time fly’s when you’re having fun…Especially when you are crocheting!!  It has been another busy week… Getting packages off to family and Etsy sales… Crocheting new items for sale at Alpine Originals, a cute hat for a friend’s son and trying to get ready at home for Christmas!!!

.

Here are a couple of projects I whipped up this week…The first one is an adorable Sly Fox Hat...  I can’t believe how cute it turned out… And the pattern was easy to follow… The Free Pattern is available on goodknits… She has great patterns for both Crochet and Knitting!

The next pattern is a hat I tested for my friend Maria over at Pattern Paradise… This is her latest free pattern… The Rina Hat… The pattern is written for a variety of sizes ranging from newborn to adult… Super easy and soooo cute!!!  The one I made is child size and only took a couple of hour to make!

The last project I worked on was a hat for my friend’s son…  I made it up as I went… So there is no pattern, but you can find similar hat patterns and beard patterns on Ravelry by typing Santa Hat and Beard in the search bar…

I’m now in the home stretch and finishing up all the last-minute crochet goodies…  And getting a NEW FREE PATTERN ready too… Do you know what it is??   That’s right… our pattern for the Viewer’s Choice Crochet-A-Long…  A gorgeous AFGHAN!!!  I have been having fun sketching out the design.  I hope you will be joining in the fun… We will be working on this project for several weeks starting in January.    Each week I will post a pattern section that will be  easy to complete for all of us!  We will be sharing our progress photos on Facebook and our Ravelry Group…   In just a couple of weeks I will post the materials list so everyone has a chance to get what they need in plenty of time to get started…  I am so excited!.

Happy Crocheting!!  Elena
