🌻 Wrapped Up In Cables Sweater Scarf 🌻

One year ago, I was asked by an old friend to make her a Red One Santa hat. At that time, I only crocheted and since that pattern is knit, I wasn't sure if I could make it for her. I got my hands on that pattern and told her I would be willing to give it a shot. Little did she know, this sweater scarf was on my bucket list to make if I ever learned to knit.

After a few frustrating tries, I got the hang of knitting and made her the hat. It set me on a path to make this beautiful sweater scarf and I adore everything about it! The delicate, lacy leaf motif, the lovely cables.

This was one of the most rewarding projects I've ever finished, taking me around 80 hours to complete. It reminds me that I can do hard things! I finished it a few months ago, but never got around to showing pics of it. Today was the day!

Special thanks to Kristen Zavala for the kick in the pants I needed to learn something new! 😉

🌻 The Holland Beanie 🌻

Happy pattern release day to the amazing Mrs. B's Crochet

Okay but....can we talk about this beanie for a sec?! 🧶😍

Want a project that looks complicated but is actually easy to make? It looks like I spent *hours* crafting some super fancy designer piece, but in reality, it works up super quick!

It’s got all the texture, all the cozy vibes, and is a great stash buster for those scraps you have laying around.

Basically, if you want to *look* like a crochet wizard without actually having to do wizard-level work, this is the one. 🪄✨
Go check her out and snag a copy of your own!!

Which one is your favorite? I'm a sucker for those little Christmas tree cakes, and I'm so ready for Christmas!! Both are adult sizes and available. Message me if interested in owning one of these beanies!
