Have a lovely day crocheting…
When I downloaded the pattern for the hat, not all of the flower pattern didn't completely come through.

I have tried making this sunflower more than 10 times, and it does Not turn out. I’ve tried different ways, different hooks, nothing works. Awful.
ADORABLE!!! 🙂
I love your crochet patterns. I am having some difficulties with the yellow part of the flower though. I cant quite figure it out. How many of these stitches are in the same stitch. Can you simplify round number 7 for me please.
This is an adorable set. I will definitely be making for a special little girl. Thank you for providing your patterns for free!
Thank you for your pattern. It's very cute!!!
Hello Olivia, the hat and booties are adorable. I would like to make them both. I'd like to know how many skeins of yarn I need. I will order them online. Will one skein of each color (green, yellow and brown) be enough? Thank you.
She did not answer the questions, really sad because the items are very pretty
Beautiful pattern but unable to download all of it.
How do I know what size I need for a five year old and a 1 1/2 year old on how many rows etc?
I have never heard of a double sc. This is in the sunflower pattern. Maybe I’m not reading it right. Do you mean 2 single crochets or 2 double crocheted followed by a single? I am not a beginner crocheted but I feel like one now. Can you help me? DD
Hey, you tube will has a tutorial for the double single crochet stitch. It’s really easy.
Bello!!! Pretty and cute!!
Pattern for me.
Thanks so much love this pattern thanks for sharing will post when finished
Are u counting the first 3 chains as a part of the double crochets in the round? Thank you
