A Crochet Bonnet, a Crochet Blanket & a Crochet Bag

Last month I finished crocheting my Lazy Daze Poncho, and since then I've been busy working on my newest crochet pattern eBook titled A Bonnet, a Blanket & a Bag.This was another labor of love since I designed the bonnet pattern for the two littlest darlings in my life, who are now two months old, and the lovey blanket for another other little darling who just turned two years old (why do children grow so fast?). The bag, or purse, portion of the project is something you may already be familiar with from a previous blog post.

And here they are in pictures...

A Bonnet, a Blanket & a Bag

Cotton Candy Crochet Baby Bonnet

My Little Lovey Blanket 

Bare Essentials Bag

What do a bonnet, a blanket and a bag have in common? To me, they symbolize springtime, summertime and outings in the warm, fresh air. Imagine strolling along with your beautiful baby, donned in a Cotton Candy Crochet Bonnet and covered with a stroller-sized Lovey Blanket to keep the wind at bay. Stash the necessities in the Bare Essentials Bag and be on your way for a day of fun and relaxation. A Bonnet, a Blanket & a Bag is available for download now on Amazon, along with my other crochet pattern eBooks, which you can find here.

My hope is that you'll find these patterns as enjoyable to make as they were to design!

Four Infinity Scarf Patterns to Keep You Warm -- A New Pattern eBook

Amidst the three crochet projects I've been working on simultaneously, my blogging here and my regular writing work, I've been busy writing a new pattern eBook! The Twisted Infinity scarf I finished the other day was the last of the four patterns I wanted to create for my pattern book. With it finished and photographed, I can finally say "Ta-da!" or "Voila!" and present my next (but not last!) crochet pattern eBook.

This pattern eBook was a labor of love. As I created each pattern, writing it as I stitched, I made alterations along the way. I put myself in your shoes, carefully considering the projects you might enjoy and find useful, as well as those that offer a bit of challenge and a learning opportunity. My sincerest hope is that you will find all of the above in my newest crochet pattern book, Four Infinity Scarf Patterns to Keep You Warm. If you like, while you're browsing, you can see my other books here.

With that accomplishment crossed off my Crochet To-Do list, I'm going to diligently continue working on my Lazy Daze Poncho (WIP pictured below), which is just a thrill to crochet because I love the yarn I'm using.  Even the name of the color -- Watercolor -- fills me with yarny pleasure! The Lazy Daze Poncho will be my next published pattern, which leads me to a question...as a consumer, do you prefer patterns of single items or do you like a pattern book that offers a few crochet patterns in one? Your thoughts and feedback are most appreciated! Wishing you a Happy, Crafty Sunday!
