Erica Jackofsky, our former contributing writer, is a talented hat designer. She's shared quite a few amazing hat patterns on our website. (You can check 'em out here, if you missed seeing any of them.)
Awhile back, Erica posted a series of articles on the topic of crocheting baby hats. The series has been a huge hit with our readers, and I wanted to point it out again here in the blog for those of you who might have missed seeing the articles when they were originally posted.
In this series, Erica covers choosing yarn for baby hats, among other things.
If you've never crocheted a baby hat, but you think you might like to try it, you'll come away from this series with a thorough understanding of the process, from start to finish. Even if you've crocheted your fair share of baby hats before, you might like to take a peek at the series, which also includes quite a few patterns and tutorials.

Casual Crocheted Placemats for Everyday Use - Photo © Erica Jackofsky
These crocheted placemats are just right for everyday use; they exude a casual, earthy charm, and their rich texture is a feast for the eyes. Yet they're made from durable kitchen cotton, making them a practical choice too.

I just updated our list of crochet baby blanket patterns with a new link to this boy-friendly gingham check baby blanket. This easy-to-adapt design is available in three different sizes: receiving blanket size, crib size and twin size.
If you haven't yet learned the tapestry crochet technique, this is a great starter pattern for learning it. If you're familiar with it already, this pattern will be a piece o' cake for you to work on.
Simple Crocheted Flower Motif - Photo © Erica Jackofsky
Crocheted flowers don't need to be frilly, fancy or challenging to make. This easy flower reminds me of a lovely child's drawing; the design is so simple, yet so beautiful. This is a pattern you'll be able to use over and over for embellishing a variety of delightful craft projects.
If you need an idea for how to use this flower motif, be sure to check out Erica Jackofsky's January wedding stole, a design which coordinates well with these flowers. Both free crochet patterns are available on our website.
