Moana Costume, free pattern link

I made this for a 12 –18 month old (55cm waist and chest) so that is the size shown but I will show you where you can adjust it as I go though. This will not be a detailed pattern as its highly adjustable as long as you have the measurements of the child you are making it for then you can adjust it as needed. The most important item is the cotton used for the skirt it needs to have a nice weight or the finished skirt will just look fluffy. I used an ecru craft cotton in DK weight which worked perfectly., Included in the pattern is a link to a surface crochet tutorial but if you are not confident the same effect can be obtained by making a long chain and sewing it on. I have also included the link to the little flower I used on the hair-clip. Find the free pattern HERE

Candy Cat custom set

Every now and then I get asked to make something and the concept grabs me. It started with a rainbow blanket and I found this amazing pattern at Attic24 for a granny stripe blanket. I added white between the colours to make it more for a baby. The cat theme again came from the customer and I couldn't help thinking of candy when I looked at that hat. The booties can be worn 2 ways either folded down as you see them or unfolded making them longer. The blanket buddy came once the rest was finished after the customer looked through some of my other folders. I love how this has come out and the customer is delighted. I matched the colours and style to the original blanket, but I don't use patterns for most of my blanket buddies and have made them in many styles and with different toys.

C2C squares

I made this throw for my self from expensive yarn called Caron cakes. Caron cakes are self striping yarns in different colourways this one is made from faerie cakes and cake pops. Unfortunately it cost to much in materials to ever be able to sell it for what it's worth even if I don't take into account the amount of hours it took to make.
