My little Pony - crochet hair clip FREE PATTERN

Krawka: Crochet hair clip - My little Pony - Rainbow Dash - free pattern to make it Yourself

Crochet hair clip - My little Pony, if You know a bit about Pony's ( and I have to tell You I don't) You will get that he is inspired by Rainbow Dash. I chose him because of the vivid rainbow colors which looks great together. I think the hair clip will look great on every hair color and the pony itself is so cute and lovely.  I hope You will follow the pattern below and make one pony for yourself and another ones for Your daughters or nieces or mothers or anyone else You can think of.

I made this little Pony hair clip for my friend. She took him to work the next day and he vanished. I just hope he ran away to make world a better place, not to do evil :)

I am curious what will happen to Your pony's, that I hope You will make with my pattern (below), if any of them will have some other interesting stories please write me an email and as always, even if Your pony will not suddenly revive and run away to the world, I would love to see the photos of Your creations. I am collecting all of the photos You send and I hope to make a wonderful gallery someday.

Newborn Hats - photo props

Krawka: Set of three crochet hats for a newborn - aviator, elf and viking hats. Props for a photo session of a newborn baby.
Time is running so fast and before I even realized I am eight months pregnant and there is so much to do for this little new baby, not only things to buy and clean and prepare but also so many CROCHET THINGS I could make for him (I am having a second son by the way). So as I made the list of things we need to buy for the baby and for me when I go to the hospital and so on, I made a second more private list of things I want to make with yarn. Lets be serious - the new baby is a wonderful excuse to make all those funny and childish and little things. 

So the first on my list were the hats and I am really proud of how they present themselves I almost can't wait to see them on my little model. When my first son was born I also had the phase of making the hand sewn hats from polar. I made like 20 of them, where the most were for the newborns and to be completely honest I didn't even tried them cause I was so panicked he will be too hot or they will make him scratch or the picture will be made with flash and it will hurt his eyes and so on and so on....that I didn't made any photos ad now I don't have a wonderful memory photos to look at. I will not make that mistake this time. I will make sure to keep a few rules when making a photo session. I wrote them down If anyone would be interested:

  • make sure the baby is not hungry!
  • make sure the room where You are making photos have the right temperature.  
  • make sure the lightning is good. Choose the time when there is a lot of daylight. Try not to use flash, even when baby eyes are closed.
  • for Your first session preferably choose the time when Your baby is sleeping.
  • If You are worried about rash, wash all the photo props in child safe detergent before using.
  • Don't worry if You will fail the first time or Your baby will get up too soon, You can always try again tomorrow. Be very patient and it's a good advise for many aspects when it comes to babys :)
When I will finish my baby photo session I will post the photos and maybe some additional tips.

But back to the hats I made three. I used 5.5 mm hook and suitable yarn for this hook size. 




The first one is Aviator hat. I love ear flap hats and that is probably why this is my favorite one I think it will look wonderful on photos.

Second one is a variation on popular elf hat and i would like to call it Gryffindor Elf, my husband called it that  as soon as he saw the colors I choose ( I hate the combination of green and red together BLEH.. )
By the way it's the first pom-pom I made in my entire life, well second one to be honest I made one for practice before I used the right yarn.

Last but not least is the Viking hat - made when watching the Vikings show, which is amazing! I didn't exactly see anyone in the show wearing this kind of hat exactly but I imagine they would if they would have one :) So I am waiting for proposition I can make this kind of hats for the entire crew. Can You imagine this photo, where they are all wearing them :D
