Cute Little Purse


I made a nice summer hat for my friend’s daughter and I had a little bit yarn left, so I decided to crochet her a little purse to go with a hat. That was really bright and colorful yarn and purse looks really cute, I kind of want it too :)
It is simple to make, follow the pattern and crochet a rectangle, then fold it and sew sides, make a string long enough, sew the flower or button on and make a loop to hold top part from opening. Done!

Gru's Minions Despicable Me


Despicable me 2 coming soon! Love that movie and especially little minion guys! So inspired by it I made my own pattern what is REALLY simple… I even thought that I made up a new technique but found it on the internet later, ha-ha. It’s a Fair Isle/Stranded Knitting. This is knitting with two different colors or more, you just have to care both strings through the row and keep twisting them between each other and depend on color chart use needed color. Don’t worry it’s SO SIMPLE, just try it. My minion measures 3,5 inches.

Easy-peasy scrunchy


Do you have leftovers from your projects? Then it's perfect for you!

It's fast to make, cute and holds hair really good. I used Palette Boa Flapper Yarn I call that yarn - curtains :) 

You will need 4 double point needles.  I used size 6.
With one needle cast on 12 sts.
Divide onto 3 needles (4 sts on each needle). Being careful not to twist the sts. And knit every row, till piece measures 8 inches. Bind off. 
Put elastic inside, you will need around 10 inches, tie a couple of knots, make sure it's secure. And sew knitted piece together in ring. Done. Enjoy making it and wearing it!

Hearts for Valentine's Day

Perfect present for some one special on Valentine's Day. Use it to make a key chain or hanger for a door. Or just give heart to your love one, decorate it with bids or ribbon, do an embroidery with his name on it. I made those hearts based on Martha Stewart Knitted Catnip and changed that up for medium & large hearts. See instructions below...
