Crochet Sandals are so cute. They can be worn by little girls-newborns or toddlers, or they could be perfect for a cute photo prop. It seems though that I have my work cut out for me the rest of this summer, since my models for my crochet hats and sandals are my girls dolls. We aren't super big on dressing up their dolls(not until lately).  They have a list going for me already, on what I am supposed to be making next. It is fun and since it is a new venture for me, I would be happy to do it.! Here is a picture of my newest design. Crochet summer sandals. This set and others will be available in my store soon at http://crochethatsforkids.com

I have been crocheting for a little over 3 years, and mostly in the summer time do I get to do some projects.  This last winter though, was one of my busiest times and thankfully because of orders we were able to provide some gifts for our kids. That was a blessing! I like to find new crochet patterns that are simple and  cute, but sometimes I get stuck. This last week I went through 3 patterns before choosing this cute Sun Hat. Since I have girls, I like to find things that my girls would like as well.  Being summer and it being super hot, the sun hat pattern was perfect. Not only can you look super cute but also be shaded from the sun.  I made a smaller size 12-18 months first, and I'd like to thank my lovely model( Ms. Barbie) lol for displaying it for us. This is the picture of the hat and it is also the contest give away item once we reach 400.
