Crochet Bunny Lovey

This adorable bunny lovey will be a present for soon-to-be big sister, Emma Kate (former recipient of the Cascading Pink Ripple Stitch Baby Blanket).  I like to call him "Peter Cottontail!"

For this project, I followed the Comforting Bunny Lovey pattern on the All Free Crochet blog.  I used a size "I" crochet hook along with these materials:
- Red Heart Super Saver, Buff
- Red Heart Super Saver, Perfect Pink
- Red Heart Super Saver, Coffee
- Silky Soft Ultra Soft Poly-Fil

The bunny lovey measures 21 inches tall by 16 inches wide.  Peter Cottontail is soft and squishy, and I just know that Emma will enjoy cuddling with her new friend.

Happy hooking,
Jilliane

Ruffle Scarf

This adorable, fluffy ruffle scarf was a Christmas gift for my sister.

 This scarf was a unique project and didn't feel much like crocheting-- aside from using a size H crochet hook and Red Heart Boutique Sashay Metallic yarn in Opal.

I started off using a folding technique from Make and Take's Crochet Ruffles Scarf pattern.  For the rest of the scarf, I collected 8 loops at a time according to Tracy's Ruffle Scarf tutorial on Candy Design Studio.

It took only about half of the skein to crochet a 54-inch scarf.

Well, that's it for this project!  Feeling inspired?

Happy hooking,
Jilliane
