Free Crochet Pattern for Sunhat for a toddler or child.  I do love a sun hat for a child. and nothing is cuter than this gorgeous Garden party Child's Crochet Summer Hat Pattern. Now, this was a pattern found folded into an old bag, it was handwritten and it looked quite old, the handwriting was very scriptive (reminded me of my grandmothers writing)  (It was also written in UK terms, so I have translated to US terms for us.) so this HAT is not full my OWN pattern. (The matching de-tatchable headband is) However I feel as though I made a few tweaks, guessed a lot, I could share the basic hat pattern with you.  Its gorgeous and I did want to show it off, I will continue to try to track down the original source of the whole set.                   Free Crochet Pattern for a  Child's  Summer Hat               with detachable Flower Headband

A Crochet Bird Tutorial by LisaAuch When a dear friend of mine from Winged Friends asked me If I had or knew of where she could find crochet bird patterns, little did I know what journey I would go on.

Just remember not to use too large a hook or you will end up with holes and see the stuffing through your stitches.
