SIMPLY PERFECT!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

SIMPLE PIXIE HAT

Take a simple crochet hat pattern and create the perfect accessory for your darling newborn. Nothing could be simpler. 

I designed these pixie hats and used to sell them at Spitalfields Markets in London and Northern Rivers markets (Byron Bay, Bangalow, Channon, Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads) in Australia. They were always popular as gifts for newborns as well as everyday wear for babies and toddlers. 

You can now make these too using my PIXIE BABE Crochet Hat Pattern.

Simple colours, simple shape and a simple, elegant result - Simply Perfect.

ADD  a lovely simple pair of mittens and you have the perfect gift for that special newborn.

I loved making the newborn pixie hats and mittens from one of Australia's softest 100% cotton yarns available from Bendigo Woollen Mills in Victoria, Australia.  Do check out their website you won't be disappointed, so many yarns available in 200gram balls at a great price.

SIMPLE BABY MITTENS

These baby mittens are ever so simple to make, the pattern is part of another newborn hat and mittens pattern which does not include the pixie hat pattern.  Hopefully in the future I will include the mittens pattern with PIXIE BABE.

Sirdar Bamboo Wool

Here is a trial pattern pixie hat I made with Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo ............

Specially developed to be incredibly soft, gentle and smooth for Baby, this yarn is a new blend with natural bamboo and wool fibres.

Great colours and really nice to crochet with........

I am working on making the pattern available soon.

Baby Scarf Set

I am always amazed at where some crochet requests lead me.........
now I am crocheting keyhole scarves for one (1) year olds......
I really enjoyed making this set - a request from a special customer.......

My standard pixie hat and mittens and a keyhole scarf.

Finding the right colour was a bit of a challenge and then making sure a natural fibre yarn carried the colour.............

After some disappointing searching - colour charts on internet not matching the yarn etc. and then even the colour charts with yarn seemed to be a different dye lot and just wouldn't do at all......
patience is a virtue..... they say..........
and yes I managed to find the right yarn .........
I was just searching too soon..... the yarn had just arrived on the shop shelf.......... thank you Rowan by Amy Butler and Rowan Wool Cotton............ a perfect match.

Divine colours and both yarns crochet together perfectly - same tension and weight.
A soft and smooth DK weight yarn - providing warmth and comfort with 50% merino wool and 50% cotton blend.  Definitely my new favourite yarn.

As I started crocheting I knew straight away I love this so much........
I must get a couple balls more of a few other colours..........

and yes when I finished the scarf set - I just loved the way it came together - so I made a second set - with a different contrast colour.  Just couldn't help myself............

How perfect is that???  now where is that grandchild?
