Summer Whimsy Hat

Here is my third project. I wasn't able to get my "model" (ha!) to cooperate for pics today but I think you get the idea! I posted a link to the pattern I found. I used a WW, Lion Brand. I didn't finish out the last two rows to follow the pattern because I felt like it was getting to be long enough. Someday I'm going to be able to do my own projects without taking patterns from others!

Water satchel/coozie

This is my fourth crochet project (I'm on a roll!) I still need to post my last two projects but I need my sweet little models to pose for me yet ;) So here is my latest! I found a really neat pattern as my inspiration (the link is posted below) but instead of going with the V pattern I just stuck with double crochets throughout, and then just eyeballed how many rows I needed to go. I used Caron Simply Soft WW. It turned out cute. I did follow the pattern for the strap and it has turned out to be too short for an adult, but great for the toddler it was intended for. I think I will do a few more now, and maybe experiment changing colors. Will post my updates!

Bobble Dress

I recently decided that I wanted to learn to crochet. It took me about a month but I have successfully finished my first project! I think I might be a little too tight on my stitches as this should have turned out a little longer, but for a first time I am very pleased with how it turned out! If you want to tackle this for yourself here is the link:
