Make a beanie in an hour!!!


The yarn is from loops &threads. I saw it in the Michaels store. 

The idea came suddenly. I was experimenting with the puff stitches. So, this just happened. 

Then I made up the pattern in a round. 

It looks so cute! You will agree!

I recorded the pattern . Then a lot of time editing and finally got it published. 

Thestitch is still amazing me! i can come up with that???? 

After making the pattern as a flat rectangle, my hubby said looks like wheat.. Then I looked for wheat stitch. Yes there is one!!! Mine is little different. 

I am stopping my story here. The video is embedded below. View that!!!

A spiral crochet beanie



 The yarn is from Red Heart. I saw it on sale while browsing Amazon website. 

The light colour will work well with textured stitches.  

I was making a regular beanie. 

Instead of doing increases and regular stitches, I made post stitches and clustered the increases. 

I love the result.

Wish to see the video pattern? 


The crown is started with a magic circle. You can easily change to a ch4 and slip stitch to create a ring to start crocheting. 

The video says where to stop for different sizes. It also gives the crown diameter measurements. 

If you are not familiar with measuring a hat crown, this is the perfect video for you. 

Are you going to make one? 

Are you going to look at the pattern to get some ideas? 

I am just curious what you are going to do with this crochet video tutorial. 

Fun with crochet!

Pivoting the blog direction

It is 2026. Actually, it is going to end soon

I am changing too. 

After a mastectomy in 2023, I am not interested in discussing dental assisting.

It may be a personal change issue.

Now, I spend more time crocheting.

It was fun before. It is still fun. 

Selling on Etsy was an option. Soon, I got bored. 

So decided to record videos of my patterns. I am more interested in doing small projects. Making blankets is not for me. 

Smaller projects finish up quickly. A small amount of yarn can finish a project.

So, I am pivoting to talk about crochet. 

Life in


Toronto is still good.
