Huge Flower Applique Hat

Here's another hat for my shop, made with brown, gold and white mix of wool and cotton yarn and embellished by a huge flower circle applique!
There's no pattern for this because I use to work by sudden inspiration and this one was made yesterday while watching television!
I post it anyway, always hoping that you can find some ideas here for your crafty works.
As usual you can contact me for any question and for helps on making something similar to this.
I think this is so romantic, and I'm planning to make more hats with this flower detail.
Greetings from Rome!

Others Last Year's Spring Projects

Here's two others no-pattern projects I've made last year..
They're all made with a beautiful bright cotton yarn in different colours.
The first is a lace wrap vest, crocheted with a 4.00mm hook and closed by a small belt (more pics on my Etsy).It tooks some time to make this because of the lace pattern and the three pieces, fronts and back, that I've worked separately.

This other one is a striped top with belt (again more pics here), which was easier to make:
I've started with the sc top of which the ends are sewed together on the back, and then I've worked the rest of the body in rounds from top down, simply increasing some st and changing colour in stripes.
I've added a sc small belt that you can put at the waist's height you prefer!
I like very much how they've came out, and most of all because they're the first projects I've ever made.

Cute Tie-Front Shrug

Here's another last year's creation of which I haven't got a pattern, because it was a sudden inspiration that kept me working with my hook and yarn without rest!
I'm sorry, I would love to share this really cute pattern...
Anyway it's not a very difficoult pattern, and you can try to make it yourself: with 4.00mm hook, start working in one piece from the bottom up, making a ch long enough to wrap around your bust, plus about 40 chs more on each side for the tie. Work in dc across for two rows and then start the body piece, leaving the tie's stitches unworked.

You should work with this motif on the entire body, decreasing a dc on each side (neck shape), until you've reached the armholes. Here you should divide back piece from the two front pieces.
On each front piece continue decreasing at neck sides and start decreasing even at shoulders for some rows. On the back piece, just decrease the same number of stitches you've done for the shoulder's sides of the front pieces.
I don't know how I've made those pretty puff sleeves, maybe it was the fortune of the beginner!!
I'm sure that you can improvise as I did, and make it right!

Scaldacuore (Heart-warmer)

This is a pink cotton shrug I've made last year and of which I couldn't make pictures before. It's one of a series of garments which I've kept it in the wardrobe for an year waiting to make some nice pics!
They're all spring time clothes.
I haven't write down the patterns of all this stuff, but i like to show them hoping they will be of inspiration for crafters who are passing by my blog!
This shrug is made from bottom up in one piece until the armholes, then I've worked separately back and front pieces.
It has 8 rows of continuous dc stitches, and then an openwork dc and ch1 pattern for the higher part of the body.
I think this is really cute, and I hope you'll enjoy it too!
