Dandelion Panama Hat

25.5.15
Please welcome my new knitting design – Dandelion Panama Hat.  I made this beautiful panama hat to match my daughter’s Dandelion cardigan.


The panama is knitted with simple lace pattern on 3 mm circular needle. It is decorated with two knitted leaves and pompom flower. I used my favorite sport/5-ply cotton yarn from Phildar in beautiful orange color. I am really happy with this project and my daughter with her new hat too! We had really great photo-shoot today.


I also wrote the knitting pattern for this hat. It can be purchased and downloaded from one of my pattern stores:

Ladybird Umbrella Case

8.5.15
There are so many dull and rainy days in the UK so my compact umbrella is my must have item in my handbag. I have decided to crochet a fancy umbrella case to brighten up these days. So, please welcome my new crochet project - Ladybird Umbrella Case. I really love this beautiful accessory. It makes me smile every time I find it in my handbag. It also a great toy for my little daughter. She really loves playing with it during our short walks around.





It was quick and fancy project. I used sport/5-ply cotton yarn from Lana Grossa and 3.0 mm hook. I used a black zipper as fastener on the back and put small amount of toy filler inside of each leg.



I also love this funny face. I crocheted the white part of eyes and used a tiny buttons for pupils. I embroidered eyelashes and mouth with a red thread.
