I normally test a recipe before I make it for a […]

Its not summer yet, but I liked the idea of turning my simple crocheted hat into a sunhat! Since I’ve never written the pattern down I just made it up as I went along and added a ruffle at the bottom of it in a cute contrasting pink. The yarn is Lincraft’s own brand, soft’n’cosy! […]
