Hello Reader 💕🌸

There is SO much to talk about today — a brand new pattern, a brand NEW community (I'm still pinching myself over this one!), and a fun crochet summit on the horizon. 🎉

🧶 New Pattern: DC All Day Ear Flap Beanie​
The first of many new patterns coming this fall just hit the blog — free written instructions AND a full video tutorial showing you how to add simple, quick ear flaps to the DC All Day Beanie. It's beginner-friendly, works up fast, and comes in 10 sizes so you can make one for the whole family. Free crochet pattern: https://nanascraftyhome.com/crochet-hat-with-ear-flaps-pattern/​

🎉 A Brand New Community!​
I've been dreaming about this for a while — a space that's truly mine, where you and I can actually talk, where I can answer your questions and we can cheer each other on, without some algorithm deciding whether you even see my posts. Well, it's here! You can join the Nana's Crafty Home Community for free, and I'll be right there with you from here on out. I can't wait to see you inside!

While you're there, don't miss the sneak peek of what's coming this fall — I'm turning my Wildlife Animal Squares into the most adorable hats using the brand new DC All Day Ear Flap as the base. Take a peek here: https://community.raptive.com/nanascraftyhome/sneak-peek-wildlife-animal-ear-flap-hats/136970/post​

Mosaic Crochet Summit Announcement!

It's a bit cooler this week in Kansas (yay!) and I am still adding some additional touches to my fall decor around the house. I love how the house looks decorated for fall!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy crocheting 🌸
