After spending the last 5 days traveling to The National NeedleArts Association summer conference, I was unable to create a new free crochet pattern for Moogly this week. But I am lucky to have amazing bloggy friends, and the wonderful Stacey Williams, designer at Busting Stitches, has generously shared a free crochet pattern here on Moogly! The Crochet Fox Bonnet is *insanely* cute (as are her kids!), and I get to share size 12M to 2 Years here today!

I think that part is up to the crocheter! If you click through to the other sizes, you’ll go to her blog and be able to ask the designer. 🙂

I dont know what am I doing right here but I love crochet… Although I am NOT a crocheter at all, I am loving all patterns and have decided to start crochet as it is very useful! We’ll only have to buy wool and can start our own business by creating cloths and decoration pieces… Thank you very much moogly, you made me think that ! ♥♥♥
