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”.

  • 1. ch35, dc in 3rd ch from hook and across (33)

Crochet Plant Holder (Free Pattern)

I made this little plant holder out of cotton yarn to brighten up a bare corner of my living room and I love how it turned out. It looks so cute and worked up so quickly. I thought it would make a lovely gift aswell, so after making one for myself, I made a few more for family and friends who love plants as much as me. I think it would look even better with a trailing plant.

This plant holder should fit a 3-4″ pot. The pot I used was 3″ diameter on the bottom, 4″ diameter on the top and 3″ height. I would not recommend using a pot any taller than this without adding more height rows to the pattern, as the plant holder fits this size of pot perfectly.

To make your own plant holder, you will need cotton DK in the colour of your choice, I used white to match my living room, a 4.5mm crochet hook, a tape measure, a stitch marker, scissors and a yarn needle. You can easily make the plant holder bigger by using a bigger hook or thicker yarn, if you need to, or adding more height rows. At the end of round 3, the base of your plant holder should measure the same or just slightly smaller than the base of your pot.
