Hand Size Chart

Hey Crochet Rockers,

While I was creating my seed stitch cuff (and a few other patterns I'll be adding soon) I scoured the internet for a hand size chart so I would know the average sized adult woman's hand and wrist. I took matters into my own hands and decided to create my own version to use as a reference chart and thought you might need one too!

Here is my hand size chart - Enjoy! (Keep in mind this is based on averages. Always measure for size if you are able to...especially babies.) I like having this chart and my Feet Size Chart just as a rule of thumb. It gives me starting place and I keep a copy in my crochet bag too. I've included a pdf version below for easier access.

Here is the PDF version.

Seed Stitch Cuff

Hiya!

I came up with a simple new cuff last night while watching America's Got Talent. I had three things in mind as I started this project. I wanted to use this new heather gray yarn I bought on sale. I had some red buttons left from a a sweater I recycled back into yarn. And I wanted to practice the seed stitch. So I came up with the following pattern!

The cool thing about this cuff is that it can be created in just about any color, from solids to variegated, with all sorts of buttons as accent pieces. I especially loved the blood red button against the gray yarn. Also, the seed stitch looks really nice worked in the gray yarn. I hope you enjoy creating and wearing your seed stitch cuffs as much as I did and do.

Baby & Toddler Feet Love

Because I love you already...

I have three Baby Barefoot Sandal patterns published at Craftown, (my day job!). If you liked my barefoot sandals pattern, you will LOVE these baby (or toddler) feet versions.

Baby Heart Barefoot Sandals

Baby Star Barefoot Sandals

Baby Starfish Barefoot Sandals

They are pretty much one size fits newborn up to about 3 years. I would make the ankle straps longer & maybe the toe loop longer if I made these for an elementary age kiddo. I have had so many requests for these from friends and family, I can't help but share. Enjoy the free patterns!
