I haven't seen any one post this cute little bag in a while so here is my version of Roman Socks' Little Acorn Project Bag. Alternate Top Pattern (Link to my Ravelry Page where there are a few helpful photos for some of the steps): R1: In a magic ring, ch 2, 8 dc in ring. Join with sls to first dc. (8 st)R2: ch 2, fpdc around first dc, dc then fpdc in every dc around.

Join with sls. (16 st)(A FPDC is just a double crochet that goes around the post of the stitch of the previous row, rather than in the top.)R3: ch 2, fpdc around ch from prev row, dc then fpdc in every st around. Join with sls. (32 st)R4: ch 2, fpdc cluster (start fpdc in fpdc to the right, but before finishing fpdc (2 loops on hook) yo and fpdc into the fpdc to the left (creates a /\ )), dc into stitch behind cluster, dc into next stitch. Repeat fpdc cluster and 2dc around.

To create rim:R? If more length is needed:R? Hope you guys like it! Stitch marker: fearless fashion. Last night, I got to hang out with nine lovely women. We went to happy hour and had wine and Italian food, then went to the opera grand opening. During happy hour, we sat around in our gorgeous gowns and talked about what we wore as little girls. A woman across the table talked about her Toni perm and coke bottle glasses (along with eye patch.)

I relayed a story about my skinny, stretchy, stripy halter top I wore to ride my purple Schwinn with the banana seat. One woman mentioned how she wore pink plastic glasses and a long (awful) pink gown to a wedding. I love how little girls can carry off outrageous style. I'm hoping this little dress I designed falls somewhere on the awesome end of the spectrum, while expressing some of that fearless girl style. Because it takes a special girl--or mood--to wear a giant striped cowl collar. The collar is truly big. And it can be done in stripes, as shown, or with a self-striping or special handspun yarn that would work without any ends. Craft blog : How To Make Granny Straps. These are the straps I designed for the secret hex bag. Below are charts, written instructions, and a video.

Plus a bonus alternate two-row version. Yay! My suggestion is that you look at the chart, watch the video, and go for it. If you absolutely must, read the written directions, but they are super-wordy even though the straps are pretty simple to make.

Kathryn Ivy - Kiddie Cadet. Designed by Alice and Grace Schnebly "Report for duty, cutie! " We love how this hat turned out. We wanted to design something for kids that was fashionable but not too over-the-top for daily wear. It's perfect for both boys and girls—not frilly but still cute—and stylish to boot. This hat would make a great shower gift for those friends where the normal baby hat just won’t do! The Kiddie Cadet is knit from the bottom up in the round, and the bill is added later with a short row technique.
