Zoey's Sweater

I made my Grand daughter Zoey 
a little Shrug style sweater.
It seems that everything is short sleeved, 


So she needed a little sweater.
White yarn is so hard to photograph.

I used Red heart pearl baby yarn.

The pattern Can be found at this link:


This is not my pattern, But its a really 
easy pattern to follow.

I shortened the body,
 as well as, the sleeves.
I also added the shell stitches 
on the yoke.

Making Labels

I decided to make Cloth labels for my items.
I did a little investigating 
and experimenting,
And this is what I came up with.
The Fabric is Blue with  blue paw prints.
I wanted it a colored fabric, because 
I wanted to print in Black.
All I wanted on the label,
is my webpage and then this pic, 
of the Chihuahuas, 
which is on everything.

This is what I did.
I bought  inkjet iron transfer paper.
Then make a template of what I wanted.
Be sure to print in the mirror image, 
or it will all be backwards!

 I printed it,
 ironed it,
 and cut it with pinking shears.....
And I love it!
Super Easy!
Oh, I got 48 labels on 1 sheet.
Oh, it is a sew on label, which I prefer.

Please, Add This Crochet Pattern to Your Ravelry Favorites.

Skill: Easy

Materials:
Crochet Hook: J
Tape Measure - to measure your dog's neck
Yarn: #5 chunky or 2 strands of any Worsted weight yarn,
        Solid and Variegated - I used Charisma  from Michael's

Stitches:

Slip Stitch (sl st)
Double Crochet (dc)
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
Stitch Together (st tog)
Change (chg)

Size: Fits a 9 inch dog neck
         3 chs = 1 inch


Getting Started:
The first thing you need to do is measure your dog's neck LOOSELY.

To adjust the pattern to your dog's neck - Your dog's measurement X 3 + 5 chs
For example  - (9 X 3)+5 chs =32 so cha 32 chs for a 9 inch neck

To adjust for length - You will also need the Length measurement:
from the crown of your dog's head, down the back of their head , to the collar.
You will add additional rows for more length.

Pattern:

 NOTE:-  neck measurement + 7 inches = how long your ch should be.

 ( example Maximo's neck is 10 inches + 7 inches = 17 inches.

 R: 1 - Starting at the hood, Ch for your dog's measurement, 

see note:, join in a circle, being careful not to twist the ch, ch 3

 R: 2 - 1 dc in each ch around, join with a sl st, ch 3

 R:  3 - 1 dc in the 1st dc, *1 fp dc in the next dc, 

1 dc in the next st, repeat from * around, join, ch 3

 R:  4  - 1 dc in each st around, join, ch 3

 R:  5 – R: 7  - Repeat R 4

 R:  8 - (decrease rows) 1 dc in the 1st 4 sts, 

*1 dc dec with the next 2 sts, 1 dc in the next 4 sts, Repeat from * around , join, ch 3

 R:  9 - Repeat R: 8

Repeat R: 8 until you have decreased to your dog's neck measurement .

(Maximo's was 10 inches, so I decreased to 10 inches)

 R: 10 - 1 dc in each dc around, join, ch 3

 Repeat R 10 for the length of your dog's neck.

 R: 11 - Repeat R: 3  and tie off.

Christmas Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

Its Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas!
I went to the gym,
then ran some errands.
My hair was wet, and It is cold,
 so I decided to wear my
New Slouchy Christmas Hat.


I got so many compliments
 that I thought I would share
the Crochet pattern with you!

This is the FREE pattern I used.
You can get it From Ravelry
Or from Craftsy
It has 2 sizes included and its super easy.

What I used:
I used Christmas Sparkle I Love This yarn
from Hobby Lobby for the body of the hat,
and 1 strand of white buttercup
 and I strand of white I Love This yarn,
white for the hat band and pompom.
I also added the wreath, which is also a free pattern,
I found on Ravelry
It looks a little pointy because I did a 
few extra rows at the tip,
 and kind of pulled it that way.

Merry Christmas!
