Cupcake Scarf


 Ok Blogland, if you all remember, I showed off the Strawberry Shortcake hat I crocheted for my granddaughter Jessica. This time I am showing you the scarf I have crocheted to match the hat.




 It is not a long scarf. Jessica is only a year old but the way this pattern is, I can always add more cupcakes when she gets bigger! I got the pattern here.





Extreme close-up.


Lighting is a bit off as it is raining buckets (not actual buckets cause if they were metal...wow it would be loud)  outside right now & natural light is not working for me right now.

Another extreme close-up.
 
 



I sewed the pompom "cherries" on instead of using fabric glue. As I mentioned, Jessica is a year old & I do not need my son calling & informing me that they found "cherries" in Jessica's diaper.

 I did not have a pattern for the hat as you recall & just made it up as I went along. The pattern for the scarf kind of inspired me to make the hat.

Hope you all like it. I am now trying to go about getting measurements of my other grandchildren's heads cause there are more hats & scarves to make!

My Grandkids Need Hats For The Frozen Tundra!

 Hello Blogland. Today I am sharing with you the first in a series of crafts called " Hats for the Grandkids". I have had this yarn for a bit since learning that one of my granddaughter's favorite dolls is Strawberry Shortcake. Since the doll has been given a makeover, her style has changed for the better. Here is the newest Strawberry Shortcake with her updated hat:





 Now to wow & amaze you, a photo of the hat I made for my granddaughter:











 Now for a close up shot:







All I have left to do is sew some red beads onto the pink portion of the hat for the little seedy type things. I did not have a pattern for this & just made it up as I went along. I think it turned out pretty good considering I winged it.
I guess I will have to go over the hat & write down what I did in making it. (stitches, rows...etc.) I should have written it down as I went but that would have been too easy!

 I plan on making a scarf to go along with this & then onto hats & scarves for my three grandsons.


Stay tuned for those!
