Time to Crochet With The Lavender Chair ~ Snappy Tots

I love meeting designers that are positive and supportive of others. A couple of years ago I started seeing this purple (lavender) chair pop up with cute crocheted projects.

Since squishy soft slippers are a favorite of mine, her slippers were the first ones that caught my eye. Aren’t they wonderful?

Dorianna’s Francesca patterns have a really nice stitch combo. I wanted to give them a try.

I made her Francesca Boot Cuffsand matching cowl.

The patterns were super easy to follow and fun to make. I always enjoy being able to make something without trying to figure out the pattern. I definitely would suggest her patterns and hope you will give them a try.

I LOVE how they turned out and even wore them yesterday. Such a fun set.

This is me, Hieidi of Snappy Tots, wearing the Francesca set I made from Dorianna’s patterns.

I thought it would be fun to learn more about the designer with this chair and cute designs.
