When I was cleaning up the house after the Christmas, I foung several pieces of ribbon and lace. A new design popped up in my mind immediately: “What would it look like if combined with bulky yarn in baby set?”
So I put aside all the cleaning gear and started to crochet. Gray-white beanie with ears and with some nordic spots and a red-white beanie with lace and ribbon. And of course, there is a free pattern for you.
