TESTIMONIAL from Catherine Henderson
Joey Lea Baird of Jo’s Crafty Hook has created another stunning pattern she called ” The Changing Seasons Centerpiece.
She has created this centerpiece using basic stitches with several different finishes.
I was so excited & grateful for being part of her test team!
I worked on my version for a weekend This amazing centerpiece works up so fast, and changes with every new row. The pattern works great for either a left or right handed crocheter. With comprehensive easy to understand instructions and photos for reference.
I had so much fun making it, that I found myself rushing through my housework so I could sit down to work on my creation. I used Value Ball Kringle Sparkle Yarn 8ply, in fall colors, with a 3.5mm hook. You can find this fantastic pattern!
Find me, Jo of Jo’s Crafty Hook at the places listed below.
In today’s post I will be sharing the Lilac Cluster Beanie FREE Crochet Pattern. I am so excited to be sharing this free crochet pattern with you for a number of reasons. The main one is that I looked at a store bought hat and was able to create a crochet pattern from it! Another reason is that it is a Beautiful design and a Great Beanie! lol The last reason is the flower clusters look like Lilacs, which is my ALL time favorite flower. I just LOVE their smell!

My son found a hat and gave it to me last year. When it was taken out of storage this past winter I was like “I NEED to copy this pattern!” I took a real good look at it and wanted to see if I could crochet it because it said on the label “Crocheted.” Well I finally worked out a pattern and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Pattern Notes
Pattern is written in U.S. Crochet Terms.
Beginning chain 3 does count as a stitch.
The Sweater Vest is crocheted as 1 Panel.
This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
In the pattern I broke each section of the panel down so you can get an idea of what the Tulip Stitch Vest will look like once the back and front sections are sewn together.
