Newborn Set RTS!

I've been putting together some 0-3 month sets that are absolutely perfect for new babies. My first set is monkey! 

When you purchase this set, you receive all three hats at a discounted price! Each hat alone is $18. If you were to buy three hats I would give you a 10% discount off of your order, so the total for three hats would be $48.60. However, by purchasing my ready-made sets, you would get all three hats for $45. I will be working up other colors and animals as well, so watch for those as the weeks progress!

I currently have this set ready to ship, so if you are interested in purchasing it, you can follow my Etsy link here, or send me an e-mail at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com. These items are guaranteed to ship within 24 hours of completed purchase. They are an absolute perfect, custom item to give to a new or expecting mom!

Happy Thursday!

Ribbet, Ribbet!

I try to crochet at least one complete item every day during my children's naptime, so if I don't have a custom order that needs sent out then I work up my own designs! This was one of those items where I sat on the couch staring at my basket of yarn deciding what to crochet, when the green just kept staring at me, so I pulled it out and crocheted up this cute little guy!

I could definitely make this guy a little more girly by adding a pink flower or bow also, so don't let the "boyness" of Mr. Frog deter you.

Because I crocheted this guy up from my own imagination, I currently have one ready to ship in a 6-12 month size! Follow my Etsy listing here to purchase, or e-mail me at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com. All ready to ship items are guaranteed to ship within 24 hours.

Happy Wednesday!

Custom Order!

Yesterday I got a custom order for a giraffe hat for an unborn baby boy named Jaxon! She was looking for a deep yellow for the main part, with brown for the accents. I ended up having the perfect yellow on hand, and I was able to get it crocheted up yesterday and shipped out today! My official turn-around time is 3-5 business days, but now that I have a postal scale and all shipping supplies at home, I am able to ship directly from my mailbox so much quicker!

I think this little guy just turned out absolutely adorable! I may even like him better than the girly one I made for my daughter's newborn photos!

If you are interested in a giraffe hat of your own, you can check out my Etsy listing here, and leave me the details in the "message to seller" portion! If you don't have an Etsy account, you can send me an e-mail at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com to get your order set up!

Happy Tuesday!

Valentine's Day 2013 Collection

Just as I promised yesterday; my Valentine's Day Collection! There is still about a week left to order in time for Valentine's Day delivery, so go ahead and check it out!

Starting with my gorgeous new heart headband. This one is my absolute favorite! It can be attached to a thinner elastic, I just love the way it looks with a thicker band! I currently have one of these RTS, but I haven't finished the elastic yet, so it can be any size!

Please excuse my daughter's face in this photo. This was the day before a snow storm, she was mad because the cement was cold. Can you blame her?

I love this girly striped set! Sadly, I don't have any photos of it on a cutie patootie, hopefully I will soon! (All photos below this point taken by TuLeaf Photography in New York, check her out!)

Next up is my chocolate kiss hat, this is my current favorite! How cute would this look on a newborn with a light pink blanket in the background? Gorg!

And my most popular item of the Valentine's collection has been saved for last. This cute beanie is perfect for the little guy in your life!

 

You can check out the Etsy link for each item above, or shoot me an e-mail at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com to get your order started!

Happy Friday!

Custom Order!

I recently had a custom order request for a Winnie the Pooh hat and cocoon. I absolutely loved the idea of it, and couldn't wait to get started! 

It was my first time working up a cocoon, so it took me several tries days to get it right, but based on the dimensions of it, it should fit a newborn perfectly! Oh, and for anyone wondering- yes. Making newborn baby hats, cocoons, etc. makes me have baby fever. The items are just so tiny!

I love how it turned out, and I hope my customer does too! Her baby is due in the next couple of months, so hopefully after baby boy is born we will see photos of him in the hat and cocoon gracing my Facebook page!

If you are interested in purchasing your own Winnie the Pooh set, see my Etsy listing here.

Happy Tuesday!

Custom Order!

I'm baaaack! I had some internet problems, but I am back and ready to hit the ground running with this blogging thing.

I had a customer request a monster hat, with a specific color palette and design in mind. I could tell from the beginning that the hat would be super cute, but man! It's even cuter than I imagined.

He is ridiculously cute, right?! These kinds of brightly colored, incredibly fun hats are such great photo props! 

As soon as I completed it, my 2 year old (almost 3!) instantly wanted it. When I told him that it wasn't for him, he no longer cared for his monkey hat or cookie monster hat. I may have to find some extra time to crochet one up for him.

If you would like to order a monster hat (in any colors you choose!), check out my Etsy listing here, or e-mail me at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com.

Happy Tuesday!

Creative Hat Giveaway Reveal!

Remember how I did a creative crochet hat giveaway on my Facebook page? That was such a fun giveaway! I loved reading everyone's unique ideas on how they would like to customize a hat! I ended up going with the Hello Kitty hat designed by Lisa Leslein, (and when I went to ship it, I realized that she lives only one town over from me- so weird!) and I love how it turned out!

I think it looks so cool, and I hope Lisa's niece does too! You can purchase a Hello Kitty hat for $25 (shipping already included) by e-mailing me at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com.

Happy Thursday!

Pink Minnie Mouse

It's official! I have finally gotten around to crocheting up a pink Minnie Mouse hat! (Does anyone else read "pink" in a high pitched voice in their head? Just me? Moving on...)

My daughter is constantly wearing pink, and her previous every day hat was a hot pink beanie with a big white button, similar to this one, except without the white border. While it was very cute, it was just a beanie, and I wanted her to have an earflap hat to get through the winter. I knew that the hot pink Minnie Mouse hat would be perfect because my daughter wears a lot of pink. I'm talking every single day basically. Which is weird, because I always said I wouldn't put my daughter in a lot of pink as a baby, but everything I like just happens to be pink! What's even funnier is that her nursery is done in lavender/brown, yet I never dress her in purple. Weird, I know.

Anyways! Without further ado, pink Minnie!

The prices for pink Minnie vs. red Minnie are the exact same- $15 for a Minnie beanie, $25 for a Minnie earflap hat; shipping included. I don't have the Minnie Mouse earflap hat listed on Etsy yet, but if you are interested in purchasing one, please feel free to e-mail me at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com and I'll get a listing set up for you!

Happy Wednesday!

Custom Order!

Before Christmas, I had a custom order for a gray, light pink and white striped hat for a baby girl. The customer actually spotted my Etsy listing for a flower hat, which contained the same colors, and loved it!

{my baby girl}

Such a pretty hat, right? Here is my customer's hat.

I love, love, love it. Nothing like reminiscing of newborn baby days to give you baby fever, eh? Now if only the customer would post a photo of her sweet baby in the hat on my Facebook page...

Happy Sunday!

Cookie Monster Hat

A lot of times, my inspiration for projects comes from my children. My son, in specific, will just tell me what kind of hat he wants. I recently crocheted him a monkey hat, and while he liked it, pretty soon after he was pretty bored, and in need of a new hat. I'm talking a couple days here, folks. He moves quick like his momma.

His request this time?

Yup, a cookie monster hat.

I love the little details I added; like the googly eyes and the cookies hanging from the braids. However, in reality, my opinion was not the one that mattered. C's thoughts? He was in love.

You can see the listing for the cookie monster hat here, or just send me an e-mail at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com to get started on your order.

Happy Saturday!

 

Custom Order!

I recently had a custom order for a baby beanie with a heart on it. I love the turquoise, purple, hot pink and light pink wound together, it looks beautiful!

Simple beanies with one embellishment are $15, shipping included. The embellishment can be anything from a heart to a flower or button. You can even shoot me an e-mail if you have something else in mind that you would like to put on a hat {football applique? tractor applique?}, and I can let you know if it is possible. Don't forget to like my Facebook page for sneak peeks of more fun hats!

Happy Friday!

Custom Order!

I haven't been posting many custom orders lately, because I have been getting lots of Mickey and Minnie hat orders, as well as a lot of reindeer hat orders. I forsee lots of happy children on Christmas morning! Also, a lot of people are using my Mickey and Minnie hats to put in their "clues to Disneyland" gift, how incredibly cute is that? I wish that I could see the looks on those kids' faces!

This particular customer loved my puppy hat, but wanted different colors. She wanted to go with more of a neutral palette, and settled on green instead of brown, and cream instead of tan.

I am incredibly in love with this hat. So in love, that I may use it as inspiration for coordinating hats for my children. Yup- I'm that in love.

The green is a little bit deeper and brighter in person, this yarn just does not photograph very well at all. Seriously, the hat is beautiful, I promise. You will just need to order one to see for yourself! Remember, all orders are completely custom, and I still have just a little bit of extra time to get items shipped before Christmas!

Happy Friday!

 

Meet Santa's favorite reindeer...

"Rudolph Clarice the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose..."

Okay, so maybe it isn't shiny, but it's still adorable, eh?

Isn't she a beauty?

The red nose actually sticks out, 3D I suppose you could call it. The hat is wound with two strands of yarn, so it's much thicker than my normal hats, perfect for that cold winter weather. I have had lots of people request it for a boy, and of course I will make it for a boy! It can be as simple as not putting a boy on the top of the hat, to changing the colors completely. All of my hats are entirely customizable all the time!

 

I got a little ambitious, and decided to make boots to match. The buttons on the boots are sparkly {Yup, I went glam! So unlike me! 'Tis the season!} red, but if they were for a boy then you could just request regular red buttons.

 I am in love! I made this set for my daughter to wear when she sees Santa, so I will be sure to update {with pictures!} when that happens!

Want one of your own? E-mail me at casscrochetcreations@yahoo.com, or purchase my Etsy listing for just the hat here, or the hat and boots set here. {10% discount for purchasing more than one item already applied}
