Saturday Night Free Pattern Review…

December 14, 2013 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

This week I decided to make some of the free patterns I have been featuring over on Facebook… Each day I host a segment “Daily Free Pattern Find… Would you wear/use it… Would you make it…” and provide the link for the free pattern… So many of them have been inspiring! So this week I chose two of the patterns to make and review…

.

The first pattern was “Linda’s Snowflake Potholder”… This was a wonderful pattern and easy to follow… I made 2 of them up in just a couple of hours… They are double thick, so you make 2 of each square and crochet them together. I want to make an afghan using this pattern in the near future… One of my favorite patterns for 2013!! Click HERE for the link to the Free Pattern!

.

These are my finished projects… Love, Love, Love!

.

The second pattern I decided to test from the segment was a big hit with my friends at Alpine Originals (the shop I sell in) and my daughter! It was easy to follow and fun to make… So much fun in fact I found a pattern for an infant that was similar… It is The Silly Simple Elf Hat by Convival Crafter… So cute! Click HERE for the link to the Free Pattern!

.

Love this colorful hat!!!

.

Like I said,,, The Elf hat inspired me to find an infant size hat for the Christmas season… I found the perfect one from one of my favorite sites… Busting Stitches! These hats are fabulous!!! It took about 1 hour to make each hat and everyone was loving these! The Free Pattern is called Santa’s Little Elf Hat… I whipped up 4 of them today… Click HERE for the Free Pattern.

.

They are so adorable and even sweeter in person!

.

Have a great Weekend Crocheting and try a new pattern out! So much fun!!… Elena

Her name was Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw, a tiny Irish powerhouse! All my memories include her crocheting... Tablecloths, slippers, doilies and blankets. As a young woman the bug got me,,, I began crocheting and haven't stopped! 40 years of experience and many beautiful projects under my belt.... Join me in this journey,,, passed down from generation to generation... keeping alive the skills and beauty of Crochet!
