New One Of A Kind Handspun Newborn Beanies

I've been working a lot with handspun yarn lately. I'm practicing a lot with a drop spindle I bought from Fiber Me Up. Yes, I am addicted! While I'm still learning how to get the right thick and thin yarn that I like, I've been supporting fellow Etsians and purchasing their yarns :) I wish I had known about these types of thick and thin photo props when my daughter Hailey Jean was born 10 months ago... they are really cute on newborns!

Clicking the links on the photos will take you to it's listing in my shop if you would like to purchase!

Crochet Newborn Baby Girl Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Petunia Garden

The yarn is a beautiful blend of purple and green merino wool. This colorway reminds me of a beautiful garden of purple petunia flowers. This was a ooak (one of a kind) yarn purchased from Spinning Wheel Studio.

Crochet Newborn Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Victorian

The yarn is a merino/bamboo blend. It's very yummy soft! The yarn was purchased from the amazing SpinUpGirlFibers. It has a beautiful shine!

Crochet Newborn Gnome or Pixie Style Handspun Thick and Thin Beanie - Safari

The yarn is a beautiful blend of yellow and brown with a natural cream color trim. The colors also remind me of fallen autumn leaves or the colors of a lion's mane! This beautiful yarn is from Heart Strings By Dee.

New Yarn, New Items, New ADDICTION!

I recently discovered a new type of yarn-handspun thick n thin merino wool. It has thick puffs and thin twists which makes a very cool stitch pattern. This yarn is typically one-of-a-kind (or OOAK). I purchase this yarn from fellow etsy sellers because us Etsians are awesome!



This is the first crochet beanie/photo prop I made, and my first time ever using the yarn. I love the texture. I love the softness of the wool. Yes, I'm addicted. I since then bought two more skeins and made these:






*Clicking on any of the pictures will take you to it's listing in my Etsy Shop if you would like to purchase*

These hats make the perfect addition to a photographers prop stash! They are chunky in style, which makes a newborn baby look so cute and even more tiny!

I really love these hats... Makes me wish I was a photographer.

Since this is a serious new ADDICTION, you will be seeing more of these in more amazing colors!

New designs coming soon...

I have new designs in the works! There will be some hats, cocoons, newborn photography wraps and blankets. I'm also working on creating a line of crochet jewelry. I've recently become obsessed with crocheting with crochet thread and wire so I thought I would come up with some designs and share them with you all :)

Chunky Earflap Beanie for Boys

Another new chunky crochet earflap beanie for boys, in blues and browns. It would make a great everyday hat to wear in colder weather or a stylish photography prop for newborn photos! Made with 100% cotton yarn in Stonewash, Brown, and Dark Denim. I love the texture of this chunky beanie. 

This beanie can be purchased from my Etsy Shop.

Baby sizes can be purchased here.

Toddler to Adult sizes can be purchased here.

Crochet Newborn Hooded Cocoon

I now have a boy version of my crochet newborn hooded cocoon! It's made of a super soft acrylic yarn in beautiful mix of blue, brown, cream, and a subtle hint of red. It's gorgeous, I love the colors. If you are looking for a girl version of this cocoon, you can purchase it here.









Perfect photography prop for those newborn photos of your precious little man.

Chunky Earflap Beanie for Boys

Finally... a boys beanie! This is a handmade crochet earflap beanie in sage, ivory, and forest. The yarn is 100% soft cotton. The colors are very earthy and neutral and is perfect for everyday wear or can be used as a photo prop for your newborn photos.

This hat is available in my Etsy Shop and is available in all sizes.

Chunky Crochet Earflap Beanie in Pistache and Turquoise

My handmade crochet chunky earflap beanie is made with 100% soft cotton yarn in the colors Pistache and Turquoise. Pistache is a beautiful light green, kind of like Pistachio. The two colors go very well together and make for a really fun photo shoot! The big rose is made in turquoise to match the trim, and it is securely sewn to the hat. The braids are made using the same colors. 

I wanted to pick two colors that were really fun and bright. I picked up these two skeins of yarn and held them together and immediately fell in love! I then had to decide on what kind of hat to make with them... Since I don't have very many earflap hats for girls, I figured this would be perfect.

I'm so excited for this hat! It is really pretty and a perfect photo prop or for everyday wear. It is available all sizes, from preemie to adult. You may purchase this hat from my Etsy Shop. And if you're like me, I always look for discounts or coupons. Become a fan of my Facebook Page and look for my current coupon codes in my photos album.

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Crochet Flower Beanie

This handmade crochet flower beanie is made with light blue 100% cotton yarn in a light blue. The flower is a light purple with two green leaves in a light and dark green. This is one of the first hats I ever made for my shop. 

You can purchase this item in any size, from preemie to adult from my Etsy Shop. I usually have coupon codes posted to my Facebook Fan Page too if you would like to check it out.

Crochet Newborn Hooded Cocoon

My handmade crochet newborn hooded cocoon photo prop is super soft and made from a beautiful blend of pinks, browns, and creams. It's neutral yet colorful. Made with soft acrylic yarn. You can purchase this cocoon for your baby girl's photo shoot from my Etsy Shop.

I saw this yarn at my local yarn shop and I was actually surprised at how soft it really was. I'm not a huge fan of acrylic yarn. I find that it's too scratchy and not as soft as I want it to be. This yarn, however, caught me off guard... it's soft, really. And I'm so glad it is because there are so many beautiful color options available. Believe me, this cocoon will be available in MANY different color options. I have one coming for your precious little man to my shop soon.
