Free Pattern: Jazlyn Baby Hat
Update: Jazlyn LOVED her new hat! 🙂 I hope you do too. There are a lot of patterns for long tailed baby hats around and that’s because they are so dang cute on wee ones. When a close friend of mine called this week and asked if I had time to whip up a couple […]
Free Pattern: Go Like a Pro Beanie

Ever have those days when you want to hide your hair? Lately I have had lots of them. I usually stick my hair in a ponytail and through a ball cap. I do love my “Saturday Hat“, but it was kidnapped by my daughter. I decided it was time to make another hat just for me. […]
