I crocheted these Mother/Daughter coordinating Egg-cellent Egg Aprons in camouflage. I LOVE how they turned out! I used Red Heart Super Saver in the color Camouflage and Caron One Pound in the color Forest Floor. You can find the free pattern for the adult size  here  and the kid size  here .

Baby Mermaid Tail Cocoon  Crochet Pattern Mermaid Cocoon Tucked  Mermaid Cocoon Untucked I crocheted this baby mermaid tail cocoon recently and I love the way it turned out. I started out at first by using the crocodile stitch but thought that stitch might get baby's toes stuck in it, so I started searching for a tighter stitch that still looks like scales and I came across this free  pattern  that I altered a bit. I crocheted through round 30. It was about 22" long before the waist and fin were added. I used Bernat Happy Holidays yarn in the color Glittery Green. I used just under 7 ounces (2 skeins). As you can see I designed my own fin for this tail and also did my own stitch around the waist decreasing each round. I have crocheted this fin a few times now but have yet to write out the pattern for it. I will update this pattern when I make another one with the fin and waist pattern.

I'm excited to introduce my original character stocking series...  Prince Charming  Elsa from Frozen  Anna from Frozen  Wheezy the Penguin from Toy Story also represents my son's favorite operating system Linux  Alice in Wonderland  Belle from Beauty and the Beast Ariel from The Little Mermaid I started off making these stockings by using Red Heart's free basic stocking pattern which you can find by clicking here . I did change all the double crochet in the pattern to half double crochet for tighter stitches. I did color changes and embellishments according to character. I did not write everything I did down, but wanted to share my work. I used the crocodile stitch on the bottom of the mermaid stocking and it was quite tricky to do because of how I had to assemble it but I think it turned out fantastic! If you have any questions about my work, leave me a comment.

My little girl's own customized pony! She picked out the colors she wanted and the cutie mark and I crocheted it for her. I had a lot of fun making this one. The macrame took forever though! Best of all, the pattern for this one is free and you can find it here .
