Knitted Slippers with Roses

Now when the days are getting colder and we get closer to the winter it is nice to warm up cold feet in warm slippers. I found these cuties on DropsDesignStudio (click here to go to the free pattern) and now my feet can be warm all winter! These slippers are very easy to knit, basically you just need to know how to do garter stitch and decrease. I crocheted two flowers, same pattern as I used in this post, to make the slippers a bit more girly. I had both pink and purple yarn at home at the time and since I LOVE these colors it was a natural color choice :)

Happy knitting!

Crocheted flower hairband

As I posted some weeks ago, chrocheted roses are so pretty and you can use them to several purposes. For this week I chose to make a hairband :) I usually have my long hair down with just a little barrette to keep the hair away from my eyes, but sometimes I think it's getting a bit boring. I feel I want to spice up my hairstyle with some pretty accessories, and maybe I have found a new way to make experiments regarding crocheting and hairstyling. I will definately sit down with pen and sketchbook and try to find out more ideas...!

This hairband is made of two parts, one bond and one flower. The flower is the same model as I made in a previous post which you can find here
You can also find the instruction video for this flower all the way from beginning to end here
The bond is made after this instruction video.
To fix the flower on the bond I pulled the bond through  two of the loops on the backside of the flower. To secure the flower you can always sew some stitches with needle and thread.

Happy crocheting everyone! :)
