Hello Reader 💕🌸

We’re having truly gorgeous fall weather here in Kansas, and I am here for it! We spent last weekend at the pumpkin patch with the kids, and it was such a lovely day.

Our weekends have been packed with activities for a few weeks now, so we’re soaking up a little downtime with absolutely nothing planned. I can’t wait!

🦒 New Today: The Giraffe Earflap Hat​
The giraffe is the third hat in my Wildlife Animal Hat series, right behind the Panda Hat and last week’s Tiger Earflap Hat. It comes in 6 sizes from Newborn through Teen, so you can make one for every little one in your life!

Coming Next Friday​
We’re taking a short break from the Wildlife Animal Hats next week, because my design will be featured in the Crochet Cancer Challenge on Friday, October 16th! I can’t wait to share this brand new hat pattern with you.

Have a wonderful weekend and happy crocheting 🌸
