I’ve recently seen and fallen in love with designs made through eyelets, and I wanted to make my new girl something elegant but modern using this technique! Specifically I was really feeling a unique spin on a diamond design. For some reason the diamond designs were channeling “Disney Castle” for me. I think there are some diamond pane windows there.

For my son’s first Christmas I crocheted him a couple festive hats for the season. The hat starts with a ribbed band created by crocheting short rows of single crochet, but using the back loops only (this is what creates the ribbing effect).
