I believe a gal should have a purse for every occasion, even if she isn’t quite old enough to need to carry one. With spring in the air and Easter on the horizon, every little lass needs a cute carry-all! Inspired by those marshmallow bunnies, the Peeps-a-Boo Bag uses simple granny squares to form a rabbit motif. It’s sweet and easy, and makes for the perfect egg-hunt companion. Switch out the pink for a brown or blue bunny, and make it for the lad in your life. Either way, your kiddo will hop for joy when she or he gets this tiny tote!

Sheep(ish) Pattern: Spooky Frutti Poncho

TooDee Frutti: Halloween Version

You know how I loves me the Halloween, so I couldn’t resist adapting the toddler, Toodee Frutti poncho that I originally designed into a spookier version.

Spooky Frutti is make in Sheep(ish) colors: Black(ish), White(ish) and appropriately, Pumpkin(ish). To make one for your own little ghoul, simply extend the TooDee Frutti pattern by a few inches by repeating Row 17 (before adding the picot edging), and replace the pom poms with ghost tassels!

To make a ghost tassel: wrap White(ish) around your palm several times; slide off and cut the loops at one edge; wrap and tie an additional piece of yarn about 1 1/2″/4 cm from the top (uncut) end to create the head; use Black(ish) to embroider eyes onto tassel head. Repeat for 2nd tassel. Tie tassels to crochet chain (after weaving it through cowl neck).

Swiss Miss Cardi, shown in color: Yellow(ish)
My latestSheep(ish) design is up on Caron.com today! The Swiss Miss Cardi, is a swingy little number that’s perfect to throw on over a sundress on a summer night, or some shorts to cut the beach chill. The smocked bodice adds a sweet, vintage feel to it while the 2-button closure takes away the fuss of getting a toddler to stand still for longer than a few seconds!

Get all the yarn you need to make this cardigan, for under $10 at a JoAnn Etc. or at Buy.Caron.com.
