October 2017 I Like Crochet and I Like Knitting Magazine

Wow, these were really busy issues for me! I designed four projects for this issue of I Like Crochet and two in the October issue of I Like Knitting. I love working with the editors at Prime Publishing and think their publications are awesome! These issues are definitely some of my favorites as they have all their fall projects in there as well as some super cute Halloween designs. Head on over and check them out!

Here are my crochet designs:

Baby Bat Set
Want a cute costume for your little one this Halloween? Why not crochet up a onesie and hat with little bat wings and ears? You can always put on pants or leggings if it is cold where you are.

UPDATE: Find this adorable Baby Bat Set as a free pattern on the blog here!!

Baby Bear Set
Can you tell I love designing baby things? 🙂 This set includes a pair of booties and mitts with “claws” made from felt, and a hat with ears to match! It comes in newborn and up sizes, so it would be great for a photoshoot.

UPDATE: Find the patterns for the baby bear booties, baby bear mittens, and baby bear hat free here!

Cottage in the Woods Wreath
This was my first wreath project and I loved it. The Berroco Modern Cotton was a dream to work with, and these colors really went well together.

Glacial Ice Slouch Hat
I love this puff stitch pattern and it just cried out to be made into a fun slouchy hat! Red Heart Unforgettable yarn is one of my favorites, and it didn’t disappoint with this project. Top it with a large fur pom pom and you’re ready to go!

Knitting designs:

Spooky Cute Kitty Costume
Yep, another baby design – see, what did I tell ya? This onesie has a tail! A matching headband with kitty cat ears completes the costume.

Aspen Sweater
This is definitely one of my favorite sweaters I have ever designed! It used super bulky yarn and worked up really quickly and I love the way it turned out with the elbow patches. Malabrigo makes amazing yarn and I really enjoyed working with their Rasta yarn for this one.
