This crochet toddler hat and cowl set pattern was designed especially for my little nephew Ianis, who came with his parents from a long distance to visit us.
My sister asked for a textured hat with multiple color stripes, so this is what I came up with.
This adorable ruffle skirt is crocheted using Red Heart Boutique Sassy Fabric, a soft fabric strip with evenly spaced holes you can crochet into.
One of the great things about the skirt, is that you will crochet the inner lining and the ruffles at once, working with both yarn and Sassy fabric at the same time.
Combine your crochet and sewing skills to make this pretty toddler dress/top using a small amount of yarn and fabric. Don't worry if you can not machine sew! You can also sew it by hand.
My little girl loved the Heart and Sole Slippers for Women that I have previously designed and asked me to make a pair for her too.
This is what I came up with! Now we have matching Mommy and Me Heart Slippers! They are thick, warm and so cozy! :) We love them very much! I hope that you and the children in your life will love them as much as we do!
The "Starlight Toddler Slippers" are made using a variation of the star stitch. They look adorable in rainbow colors, but you could choose to crochet them using one solid color or as many colors as you wish.
This is an easy pattern for a cute pleated mini skirt for little girls with an elasticized waist, very practical to put on and take off.
This is the toddler size of my Little Elf Slippers pattern. (Check out the tutorial for the color change and heel decrease in the children size pattern)!

Winter is coming soon! Keep the small hands warm with these cute mittens! The pattern can be used for toddler girls, but also for little boys using other color yarn! You can play with the colors, making the cuff in a different color as the rest of the mitten, or even alternate the colors for ribbing the cuff. Add some pretty appliques! Be creative! :)
This cute cardigan is worked in one piece, top down, beginning with the yoke, then separating the sleeves, you'll form the right front side, right sleeve, back, left sleeve and left front side.
