Honeysuckle Doily, Free Vintage Pattern

Here is another doily made from a vintage pattern. I used size ten crochet cotton thread and 1.25 mm steel hook. My doily came out 20 inches in diameter. I changed the colors after Round 12, Round 20, and Round 24.

As I was crocheting this doily, it ruffled quite a bit. But once the doily was finished and blocked, it turned out perfectly flat and beautiful!

You can see my shortcut to blocking doilies post here.

Preschooler’s Crochet Hat, Free Pattern

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season!

Originally, this pattern for a preschooler’s hat appeared in my Etsy and Craftsy shops. The pattern sat there for about half a year and was purchased only twice. Hmm, I don’t know, I thought it was a cute hat pattern. Perhaps it’s the advanced skill level of this pattern that put my customers off. I noticed that the most popular patterns in my shops are the easiest ones.

Anyway, I didn’t want all the work that I put into this pattern go to waste, so I’m sharing the pattern here. Please, do not copy and repost it on other websites, and do not sell it. But you are welcome to sell the finished items made from this pattern. 

Size: 3-5 years old

Measurements: about 20 inches in circumference and 7.5 inches in height

Skill Level: Advanced

Materials:

US Hook size G/6 (4.25 MM)

Light worsted yarn, about 170 yards

For the hat shown above I used Bernat Softee Baby

Gauge: first 4 rounds = 3.5 inches in diameter

Abbreviations:

ch chain

sl st slip stitch

dc double crochet

FPdc: front post double crochet

BPdc: back post double crochet
