Moroccan Midnight Set



This is another pattern set from mooglyblog.com . It is the Moroccan Midnight cowl, fingerless mitts, and slouch hat. She did it with black as the solid color but I had this green Merino wool that really wanted to use.

Crocheted Spring Wreath

 I got the foam wreath at Dollar Tree. The green yarn is Vanna's.
 I crocheted a rectangle long enough and wide enough to go all the way around but still fit snug.
 I sew the ends together and sewed it onto the wreath with the seam in the back.
 I had a whole pile of 6-petal flowers already made. I just needed to sew buttons to the centers.
 Pinned all the flowers on until I was satisfied then thought about other little things I already had that I could put on: the bird, the butterflies, and the lady bug buttons.
Made a chain of dark green and glued everything with the hot glue gun and done. This was inspired by repeatcrafterme.com and her crocheted spring wreath.
