Beanie and Matching Poncho

I was inspired to attempt making beanies by a friend that has started crocheting. Hers turned out so darn cute that I had to do it. After the third attempt I finally got the shape right. I added the fringe and flower to coordinate with the poncho.

I have made this poncho many times and never get tired of making it. I added a new element with the flower and love the way it looks.

I am very happy with the way this outfit turned out.

(It is a little small for my model, but I made it for a 2 year old girl. The sizing will be just right for her.)

Crocheted Cuff

My newest experiment is this great cuff. The pattern for this was sent to me by a great friend of mine. It wasn't too difficult to figure out. And it is a great accessory for women. I did learn from this project that crochet thread is not my favorite material to work with.
