I’m a Supahstar!

I always imagined I’d be recognized as a star in my life, I just never thought it would be so soon!


Haha but seriously, I’m extremely flattered to say, I was chosen to be the 99th “Crafty Superstar” on the site Cut Out + Keep. This week they’ll be featuring me and 1 of my patterns everyday for the whole week!

So even if you’ve seen most or all of these patterns, check the site out! It’s really cool and even cooler now that I’m one of their superstars!! Haha. (If you can’t tell I’m pretty excited)

Halloween Costume

So Halloween was Monday and I was a Dungeon Master (my girlfriends idea). It’s a variation of the Christmas Hat, but with stars, and button on ears. Oh, and a cool beard that connects to my glasses! All of which are coming soon in either pattern or buy able form, or both!

I’m selling these wizard hats here, but not the beards just yet (still needs to be perfected)!

So here’s a few more photos and a pattern for the little stars on the hat, because, why not?

Here’s a photo of the final product:
Materials:
-Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar’n Cream Yarn/Lion Brand Cotton-Ease Yarns (basically any 100% cotton works)
-Size US-G/4.00 mm Crochet Hook

Abbreviations:

-SL.ST = Slip Stitch
-SC = Single Crochet
-HDC = Half Double Crochet
-Ch = Chain

Pattern:
Ch 2 DON’T TURN
Rnd 1: sc 5 in 2nd ch from the hook (5) Don’t turn.
Rnd 2: sl.st in first sc, [ch 4, sl.st. in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next, hdc in next, sl.st in next sc] repeat 5 times. (to end)
cut and pull yarn through, sew in end.

Really easy and quick pattern.

By the way. I know I’m basically giving away one of the answers in the November Giveaway, but there’s also somewhat of a hint for another answer!

Lastly, these ears and hats are available for sale here, and I’ve got some great ideas for these ears so keep in touch by Facebook or email!
