Free Crochet Pattern: Sherlock Holmes Hat for Babys
As I am a huge fan of the BBC series Sherlock, I desperately wanted to crochet a Sherlock Holmes hat for my baby boy as a christmas present. Thank heaven that there is Pinterest I thought and quickly looked up what I thought to be a couple of patterns. But actually they were either payed patterns or linked to one same URL which was no longer accessable. So in the end I had no choice but designing my own pattern which I would like to share with you today. This gave me the chance to change a few things so …
Another Unicorn Keychain Crochet Pattern
After trying my unicorn crochet pattern with larger hook and heavier yarn, I was curious what would happen when I went into the other direction. I have read some blogpost on microcrocheting lately and – although I think I could never go into the extreme here – I wanted to try a bit of it myself. So I bought what I find is a tiny hook (size 0.75) and some very thin crochet yarn. Out came a fancy little unicorn lady which has the perfect keychain size. However, I did have to adjust the pattern a bit and I admit …

As you might have noticed, I’m already in to my crocheting for Christmas this year – after all, I want to publish some Christmas patterns here, before the first advent calendars are hanging. When I was a little girl, my mom always used to put some little things in my calendar which could be hung into the Christmas tree.

So if you want to put some small decoration items into your DIY calendar or if you just want to make your home a little …
Free Crochet Pattern: Unicorn (made almost without sewing)
My little nice visited me lately and the moment she saw my tiny crochet unicorns her eyes went all bright. So of course I decided to design a crochet unicorn all for herself. It should become a little bigger than the ones I made before. And I wanted to do it in as few parts as possible, as she is only 1.5 years old and could pull some of them of and swallow them. Ok, apart from that, I am not too happy with sewing all tiny bits and pieces together, so there also was something in for me. As …
