The Everly Pixie Bonnet
The Everly Bonnet is a pixie style bonnet. A simple rectangle is stitched, folded in half and then sewn up the back to form the bonnet. This is a great beginner project and uses only simple stitches. A border is added to the bottom of the bonnet and then two straps. The pattern includes 5 sizes; 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years and 3-5 years. Make sure you check out the Everly Collection which includes a summer hat, skirt and dress.
The Everly Pattern Collection
I love to design collections using the same stitch patterns. The Everly Collection includes 3 more gorgeous patterns!
The Everly Summer Hat
I would like to welcome the beautiful Everly Summer Hat to my pattern collection. This is my first summer hat design and I am thrilled with how it turned out. The pattern comes in 7 sizes; 0-6 months, 6-12 months,1-2 years, 3-5 years, 6-10 years, Teen, and Adult. This hat works up so quickly so you will be able to make one in a couple of evenings or a long, lazy afternoon. The pattern includes all the written instructions you need plus some video tutorials for any tricky techniques. The hat is quite stretchy so fits a with a negative ease of 0-5cm/0-2 in. Keep cool and look cool with the Everly Summer Hat!
The Evelry Top
The Everly Top is the perfect addition to your little one’s summer wardrobe. The garment is made from two panels and then sewn together. The peplum ruffle and sleeve ruffles are then stitched onto the top. The gorgeous lace pattern uses single and double crochet stitches which makes it easy, even for a beginner. There is also a video tutorial included for the lace pattern and loads of photos to help you along the way. Finally two ties are secured to the back of the Everly Top to tie the back closed. Perfection!
The Everly Skirt
The Everly Skirt is a super simple and easy design to make. The skirt will look gorgeous with a light summer blouse or you can make the matching Everly Top. The pattern starts with making the waistband using dc and sc stitches. Next the skirt is stitched directly onto your finished waistband. Add length to the skirt with the repeating lace motif pattern that will be easy for you to memorize in minutes! The last step is to weave in your ends and sew on the buttons. That’s it!
