Crafty @ Heart

I love to create things. Something about looking at my wall or the bow in my daughter's hair and knowing "I made that" Just excites me. There are so many projects out that look easy enough, but nobody tells you how to make it. I am here to change that. I will give you step by step directions to make things with stuff you may already have. I will even post things that your children can make or that your husbands will enjoy. All you do is read along, and you too will become Crafty @ Heart.

Crochet Easter egg

I use these little eggs in my Easter egg basket hair clip. I had looks for pattern after pattern, and just did not like the way the finished up or the hole in the center. You can change the size simply by changing the yarn, changing the hook, or even adding some single crochets around the edge.
I used worsted weight yarn and the magic circle. If you do not know how to do a magic circle look it up on Google some videos and worded tutorials will come up.
Abervatsions:
DC double crochet
TR triple crochet
HDC half double crochet

In your magic circle
