Lets get creative
I’m so excited to finally be able to post this pattern. I’ve had it floating around in my head for a while now and finally got it all worked out and tested.
These boot cuffs are just right for folding over the top of your boots or wearing up. Both ways are great. The pattern includes how to size for the best fit if you want them larger/smaller or just a bit taller.

A few months ago I made up a scrap yarn of all different kinds and colors for my little puppy to have a sweater during super cold days. It was and is the ugly sweater of dog sweaters, totally funky and colorful. As I was making it I remembered most of the projects each yarn was originally for but a few I was unsure of what they were left over from. My friend saw the sweater and wanted one for her puppy so here is Mabes in her purplicious sweater.
Materials Used:
Method:
Got measurements from my friend for her dog: the neck, top of collar to between her front legs, width between her legs, chest width and her back length.
Holding 2 strands together I started with the collar and did an 8 stitch wide rectangle till it was 9 inches in length so it would fit right around her neck once whip-stitched into a circle. Then going around the circle did rows of increases till it would stretch to fit around her chest and was the length needed to hit just where her legs start.
For the leg holes I continued working in the round and chained the length needed for between her legs then picked back up working in the round. Once I got back to where the chain began I skipped 5 stitches for the leg and used a quad stitch to crochet around the chain till I was left with 5 stitches for the other leg. once I had the leg holes I went around one more time and then started working in rows till I had the length of her back.
To finish off the “cape” I did some decreases so it wasn’t a rectangle and then did a simple edging to give it a more finished look.
This was a super quick project thanks to the double strands of yarn and the big hook and Miss. Mabes is a happy camper with her new sweater.
You know the old poem about little girls being made from sugar & spice and everything nice? Well here is a headband that is sure to please. A quick project that can be customized in so many ways. Plus this headband has such a nice stretch to it that it keeps all those flyaway hairs at bay.

Notes:
Headband should be stretched a little when measuring for sizing, it will bounce back a little after being worn but since it is not elastic there will not be a ton of stretchiness to it.
Sizing:
Measure the persons head for whom you are making the headband for and subtract 1 inch. This is the length you will want to measure to.
Headband Pattern:
ch 7
R1 – sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 5 (6 sc total), ch 1, turn
R2 – sc in 6 across, ch 3, turn
R3 – skip first sc, sc in next, ch 3, skip next sc, sc in next, ch 3, sc in last sc (3 ch 3 loops created), ch 3, turn
R4 – sc around middle of 1st ch3 loop, ch 3, sc around middle of 2nd ch 3 loop, ch 3, sc around middle of 3rd ch 3 loop. Ch 3 turn
**Repeat R4 until you reach the desired length of your head band**
