If you like to crochet hats, this chart will help you with your finished measurements.  I always come back to this chart to make sure my hat is the right size for the person I am making it for.  Remember, these sizes are approximate.  If you are making a crochet hat, it will stretch up to 2" depending on what kind of yarn you are using.  I find that acrylic and wool stretch more than cotton. I also have a chart for shoe sizes , and a crochet hook conversion chart .

  I have seen these adorable pin wheel flowers around for a while now and I think they are so cute.  So, I decided to make up my own version of one.  Mine is probably a little bit different than the others, and a little bit smaller.  If you want your flower to be larger you can use a larger crochet hook, a larger weight yarn, or both!  Please be aware before you begin that this is an advanced pattern, and will be challenging if you are a beginner crocheter.  There are some advanced stitches used in this pattern.   Abbreviations: ch: chain dc: double crochet sc: single crochet hdc: half double crochet sl st: slip stitch st: stitch trc: triple crochet dtr: double triple crochet flo: front loop only   Materials Needed: Size H hook or hook of your choice. worsted weight yarn or weight of your choice   For this pattern you will not need to check a gauge.  You are not making this as an item of clo...
