This is a pattern for the shell stitch beanie in my previous post. I LOVE this beanie because it stitches up quickly and adds a great texture to the average beanie.

So slavered in sun cream, firmly planted in a deck chair and with my right hand craft woman - my mum - by my side, we set about creating some lovely crocheted flowers. The great thing about the flowers is you can make them in any colour yarn you fancy and are the perfect way to brighten up any project.
