I recently reopened my shop on Big Cartel so that I could sell some premade goodies as well as continue to take custom orders (it’s just easier for me to use than my previous shop!). I made some hats and barefoot sandals that are available and ready to ship right away!
Above, I experimented with making the High Tide Skully in three colors! They’re for sale here or you can custom order one in other colors here, or get the pattern to make your own here!
Five pairs of Wildflower barefoot sandals premade & ready to ship! I can’t decide which ones are my favorite but I really love the blue/pink/orange and green/purple ones! They’re for sale here or you can custom order them in other colors here, or get the pattern to make your own here!
And some Sugar Cone Skullys! They’re for sale here or you can custom order one in other colors here, or get the pattern to make your own here!
A lot of people have asked me if the Waffle Cone Slouchy hat could be made by using two strands of worsted weight yarn, so I wanted to give it a try! Turns out it works pretty well! I might actually like it more than using bulky yarn because it’s less stiff, so it slouches better.
All of the hats in this post were made with Caron Simply Soft. In case you’re wondering about the colors, I used: Ocean, Blue Mint, Grape (I think!), Harlequin, and Passion.
This one is made using one strand of Harlequin and one strand of Passion.
What do you think? Have you tried making one with worsted weight yarn?

It’s about time I finish this pattern, right?! I’m happy to say it’s ready! The High Tide Skully hat! It’s here! Yay! This one can be made as either a regular skully hat or with ear flaps. Either way, it’s a warm hat with a pretty texture that will keep your head cozy on cold days!
The pattern is intended for worsted weight yarn and uses only basic stitches (all single & double crochets). I consider the pattern advanced beginner/intermediate level. The ear flap version is going to be a little trickier than the regular skully version but there are 3 pages of the pattern dedicated to help with the ear flaps. The entire pattern is 9 pages long and includes plenty of photos to help you along. Here’s a peek at what’s inside:
The pattern is available through Ravelry, where you can download it instantly after check out.
$4.00
Even though it’s a warmer, more cold weather style hat, it makes me think of shells or waves so I had to use something beachy for the name! What do you think? I hope you like it! Also, I’m curious, how many of you will make the ear flap version? I’m not sure if I should make more ear flap styles in the future.
