It's so fun setting up a stall in peace. Calm, slow, with music. 🥺✨

this year i decided to give myself a little bit of a challenge. if you remember last year i made little crochet gifts for my family members but this year i decided on doing something much bigger.

wearables and blankets!

i currently have about half of my dads side of the family done.

the shawl is for my aunt. she likes the minimalism beiges and browns but also likes a nice sage green. i decided to mix the two together along with Red Hearts Aran Fleck for a nice little balance. i did decide to give it a bit of my own little flare and add picots on the back side.

the red pull over is for my littlest cousin, i made it much larger so that he can wear it longer and grow into it. i wanted each pullover to be unique in a way and used the Block Stitch for this one, adding two more corners to turn it from a square into a hexagon.

the purple pullover is for my middle cousin. she loves the color purple so i used two different shades and then added in Big Twist Living: Community for the variation. i used the regular hexi-cardigan pattern for hers.

i can’t wait to post these on other socials but i can’t at the moment because i am positive they aren’t on reddit and if i post them then the surprises will be spoiled!

attempt #1 at crocheting a berenstain bear doll. I know I’ll need to fix the eyes and should add a white accent to the nose. I’m not used to designing my own crochet items and would appreciate any feedback!
