Spider Net Beret

I've found this pdf to download at Crochet Pattern Central website.
I'm in love with vintage style hats, and this pdf is really amazing.
It has thirty-six hat patterns to make, and the first I've tried is the no. 27.
I've made some modifications to have it more like a beret than a beanie, here there are if you want it like mine:
Follow the pattern till Rnd 6.
Rnd 7: Ch 14, *dc in next dc, ch 11*. Repeat from * around, sl st to third ch of ch 14.
Rnd 8: Ch 16, *dc in next dc, ch 13*. Repeat from * around, sl st to third ch of ch 16.
Rnd 9: Repeat Rnd 8.
Rnd 10: Repeat Rnd 7.
Rnd 11: Repeat Rnd 6.
Rnd 12: Repeat Rnd 5.
Rnd 13: Ch 3, 5 dc in ch space, *dc in next dc, 5 dc in ch space*. Repeat from * around, sl st to join.
Rnd 14: sc in same st as joining,*skip 2 dc, 5dc in next dc, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc*. Repeat from * around, ending with a sl st in first sc of round.
I've added a flower on a side with a mother of pearl button in the centre..it gives a more stylish touch!
Here's a picture of the back:

That's it..hope you'll enjoy this pdf too!

Free Pattern's Outline for a Crochet Necklace

Well, this is quite different from the "Easiest Crochet Necklace" I've shown in the other post, and I've tried to write down an outline of this one's pattern.
For any question just contact me.. I know that probably this is not so clear!
Anyway, here it is:

Materials:
Less than one ball of any colour cotton yarn (worsted weight)
4.00mm hook

Necklace:
Ch77, sc in second ch from hook and in the next 3chs.
Ch76, sc in the 4th ch at the beg of previous ch loop, and in next 3chs, ch1, turn.
Sc in first sc and in next 3 sc, ch80, sc in the 4 sc at the beg of previous row, ch1, turn.
Sc in first sc and in next 3 sc, ch84, sc in the 4 sc at the beg of previous row, ch3 and sl st on the other side of the same closure piece to make a button hole.
Sew a button on the opposite closure piece of the button hole.
Make a flower of any kind (mines are just improvised!) to embellish the necklace, and sew it on the four chains strands.

I've made it even in a bright purple cotton yarn, and I'm really happy with the both.

These are very easy, and I hope you won't have problems making them.
Enjoy!

Giant Granny Bag

Another last year's project made with a beautiful cotton yarn.
I love this bag, especially for the colours which are really bright. I've used this Groovy Crochet' s pattern, but if you know how to make granny squares you won't need any. This is super easy!
Great market and beach bag, I didn't lined it inside, but you can do it if you prefer.
Have fun!

Lion Brand Half Moon Shawl

I've made this shawl as a custom order to match the beret with antique rose applique in the picture below.
The pattern is the Lion Brand "Half Moon Shawl" that everyone has done, but I've added some fringe.
I've made one for me as well in the same color, and I'm really in love with it!
The beret is made from my free "Soft tam beret" pattern, to which I've added a simple crochet contrasting color border and a simple rounded applique.

I think the both are nice, and I love them together..well, I'm proud of my creations!
And I can't stop working with my hooks and needles!!

Crochet Garnstudio Tunic Dress

This Garnstudio tunic dress is wonderful!
I've made it last year and finally I've got the inspiration to take some pictures and show it..
I've used the "DROPS tunic with mussel pattern", an easy but quite long pattern, and a beautiful bright purple cotton yarn.

I'm very happy on how it came out and I sell it on my Etsy shop with a hight price because otherwise I'd love to keep it for myself! :)

I really suggest to try this pattern, it takes some time but the result is lovely!
