Chunky Pixie Hat Free Crochet Pattern (3-24m)

Now that the weather has started to cool down, I knew I wanted to make some cute pixie hats for my children to wear, and some to sell at market. I love these hats, especially for babies and toddlers because they are not as easy for them to get off and don’t fall off as easily as beanies, so I knew those little ears would be kept toasty and warm.

To make your own you will need about 50g of chunky yarn, I used Stylecraft Special Chunky, a 8mm crochet hook, some scissors, a 20mm button and a yarn needle. A fluffy pom pom is optional but adorable.

I crochet quite tightly so you may need to play around with hook sizes to get the required hat size. My finished hat is 6.5” wide and 7.5” tall which means you need a starting rectangle of around 14” x 6.5”.

Crochet Pumpkin (Free Pattern)

Is there anything more autumn than a cute little crochet pumpkin.

I am really enjoying the colder weather after all the heatwaves we’ve had this summer and looking forward to all of the cosy autumn and winter crochet! With that in mind, I decided to make a pumpkin for our house and I love it!

To make your own crochet pumpkin, you will need double knit yarn, a 6mm crochet hook, a pair of scissors, some stuffing, a cinnamon stick and a yarn needle. The pumpkin is approximately 4” wide and 3″ tall. The pattern is written using American terminology and is suitable for beginners.

Baby V-Neck Cardigan

The baby v-neck cardigan is perfect for when you need a quick and easy crochet project. It keeps my baby nice and cosy as the summer closes out and autumn draws in. I especially love how I can make one of these cardigans in just a few hours. The pattern includes directions for newborn, 0-6months and 6-12months.

I used two strands of double knit yarn held together throughout to make a nice thick and quick to make cardigan. Perfect for if you need to whip up a quick gift for someone or for if you don’t have long to spend crocheting. The pattern is beginner friendly, uses American terminology and features the double crochet stitch.

To make your own, you will need 5mm, 6mm and 7mm crochet hooks, double knit (light worsted) yarn, a tape measure, scissors, a yarn needle and 3 x 15-20mm buttons.

You can find the Baby V-Neck Cardigan crochet pattern in my Etsy shop, along with all of my other PDF patterns and items I have ready made for sale.
