Bear-y Sweet Variation

The post that gets the most hits on my blog on a day-to-day basis is my pattern for the Bear-y Sweet Hat.  Here is a variation of the same hat, now listed in my etsy store.

To make the bow: Crochet a rectangle in sc and then wrap a strand of yarn around the middle of it to cinch it into a bow shape.  It's that easy!

To add the ruffle: 

Round 1:  Add one sc in each stitch around.

Round 2:  Shells!  Ch 3.  *Skip 2 sc.  5 dc in next sc.  Skip 2 sc.  sc in next sc.  Repeat from * around the circle.

This pattern is listed on ravelry.

I set a goal of trying to get my etsy store up by March Break and I'm happy to report it's online and ready to go.  I'm still getting the hang of things, but I have to say that etsy makes it easy to make everything look good.
