4 Angry Birds and Some Hats

You may be thinking it's still too warm to consider beanies, slouchies or stocking hats. But fall always has a way of sneaking up on us doesn't it? I love to crochet items for fall because I love snuggly accessories and I can wear so many different styles in fall and winter, that I just can't pull off in spring or summer. (I love to layer.)

I decided to share some quirky cute stocking hat patterns that will delight the kids and entertain the adults. Get a jump on your fall and winter accessories and crochet a funky Angry Birds hat for the little birdies at your house!

Back To School Knits

Are you ready for school to start? We've still got two weeks to go in my neck of the woods and I'm scurrying to finish up doctors checkups, uniform shopping and buying school supplies. If you have a little more free time than me, you can easily be at the top of the class when you use one of our free knitting patterns to create some handmade back-to-school accessories. 

It's so easy to personalize handmade bags, scarves, cowls and mittens to reflect team colors, favorite characters and unique interests for your family members; whether they are returning to school or headed off to college! Here's a few patterns to get you started!
