Ivory Ocean Beanie - Free Crochet Pattern & Yarn Review

Weeks ago Wool And The Gang sent me some skeins of their Shiny Happy Cotton yarn, and it was love it first sight, touch and stitch!

Frequently I've worked with cotton yarn when designing (especially hats and booties!), which made me extra keen to see how this yarn stacked up against some of my usual favourites. 


These are only some of the colours available  but as you can already see, the colours are very elegant and rich which would make any project pop!


Here are some of my thoughts about this yarn in particular:
  • Without a doubt in my mind, this yarn is by far the softest and smoothest cotton yarn I have ever worked with. The stitch definition I achieved while working with this (100% Peruvian pima) cotton is incredible. I would highly recommend you try it out at least once if you're a 'cotton' junkie like myself... Trust me, you'll never want to go back!
  • Despite being as soft as marshmallow, this yarn has a luxurious thickness and warmth to it. I'd be extremely keen to try crocheting a scarf with this Shiny Happy Cotton. Just imagine how cosy that would be?
  • Each skein is over a 150 yards in length, meaning you can easily crochet a headband or hat and still have some yarn left over!
So without further ado, here is my latest pattern for an adorable beanie which features this lovely yarn seen above!


What You'll Need
4.50mm (G) Crochet Hook
170yds Aran Yarn - Shiny Happy Cotton
Tapestry Needle

Size
Child to Adult

Gauge
2 rows x 4 stitches in dc = 1 inch

Stitches Used:
st(s) - stitch(es)
sl st - slip stitch
dc – double crochet
V-st - V stitch
camel dc – camel double crochet

Hope you all enjoyed this adorable and feminine pattern!

One of the ways I enjoyed adding an element of "adorable" to my outfits as a little girl was pretty pink bows. I had quite the collection and loved putting them in my hair whenever I got the chance to!..

Pinterest is my favourite social media platform as it's stuffed to the brim with creative crochet and knitting patterns! 
Over the years I've loved discovering such a variety of different projects and designers through Pinterest, and then being able to connect and work with them.

Recently, I surpassed 75,000 followers on Pinterest (and 50,000 on Facebook!) and I  decided I had to put together a huge giveaway full of items that I absolutely love in an effort to say "Thank You" for all your wonderful support over the past few years...

Here is a look at all the amazing prizes that I've personally selected... Trust me,  it was hard as I wanted to make sure to put together a perfect little bundle of crochet goodies that I've enjoyed using during my own crochet journey... Hopefully you enjoy them too!






  • "We Are Knitters 15mm (P/19) Beechwood Crochet Hook" - Two months ago I worked with the amazing people at We Are Knitters to host a giveaway. During the process they gifted me the loveliest chunky crochet hook I had ever crocheted with! I've often found when working with larger hooks in the past, that it feels rather bulky and unnatural to work with... However, the same cannot be said about this lovely hook! Somehow, it became a creative extension of my hand, and I loved the fact that it was varnished so any wool just glided smoothly over the hook while I worked away.





If you'd like the chance to win all of these wonderful prizes (worth $250!), all you need to do is follow the prompts  in the Rafflecopter widget below and you'll be entered to win!

Since the beginning of my crochet journey I vowed to continue learning as many new stitches as possible, which has never ceased to inspire me to keep creating and designing!

During Winter as the mist and snow appears, and the weather rapidly turns cooler, having a cosy and beautifully textured scarf on hand would not only be practical, but also enjoyable to wear! So for all the chunky yarn lovers out there, it's your lucky day as I've just added the pattern for this scarf to my Craftsy and Etsy Shop! 

Love chunky scarves as much as I do? Why not give this Wisteria Vine Scarf a whirl on your hook, or even try crocheting my Popcorn Tassel Scarf!

A couple of weeks ago Love Crochet sent me a bundle of crochet goodness, and it wasn't long before I excitedly dug into it and started working with their latest yarn, Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK! 

The entire colour range is incredibly scrumptious, and once I spotted this combo of warm colours I immediately knew it was about time I designed a pair of baby booties inspired by the bold reds, chocolate-y browns and beautiful mustards that Autumn has on display every year!

When I shared my finished design for this Autumn Oak Baby Booties with the creative people over at Love Crochet they even said that the colours and design resembled Pocahontas... And at a second glance I realised the exact same thing!


I'm enthusiastic to keep creating all sorts of booties with their Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in the future, as not only are the colours so diverse and unique, but the soft cotton yarn was such a joy to work with!

If you're an avid bootie crocheter like myself, then one bootie pattern will just never be enough... Luckily for you, I also have a pattern for a pair of darling Rosebud Mary Janes and Little Lady Baby Booties!
