New Pattern Released!

I am so excited to release this pattern for you today. The Magic Fairy Wand crochet pattern is a quick, adorable pattern that is perfect for scrap busting. It makes a great costume accessory for Halloween, pretend play, cosplaying, or even LARP!

Choose your yarn colors and decorations to personalize these wands in a million different ways. Add beads, sparkling yarn, lace — the possibilities are endless!

I love that this pattern can be worked up in a little over an hour, only takes 10 – 15yds of yarn, and just a handful of stuffing. Heck, you could even stuff these with yarn trimmings if you’re trying to reduce waste or be thrifty.

Clear, Helpful Photos

My patterns include plenty of clear, helpful, photos – especially if there’s a tricky or complicated bit of instructions that need to be followed. I make sure my photos walk you through the process as clearly and simply as possible! Sometimes I even provide multiple photos of the same step, from different angles, to make absolutely sure you are able to replicate the pattern instructions yourself. Plus, the pattern has been tested by crocheters just like you! The testers check for errors, readability, clarity of photos, and even typos, all so that I can offer you the best pattern I’m able to create.

And if That’s Not Enough…

And if the clear photos, thorough testing, and the step-by-step instructions aren’t enough — I am perfectly happy to personally help you clarify any part of the pattern that you may need! Just contact me via email, or reach out using the FB Messenger plugin on my front page!

So what are you waiting for? Visit my shop and make your purchase today!

Cupcake Pets: Bunny, Kitty, Uni Crochet Patterns Available Now

Just in time for Easter

It’s the Cupcake Pets crochet patterns! Each little cupcake pet is approximately the size of a real cupcake. They’re designed to fit into single-cupcake boxes, too, which makes them PERFECT for gifting!

Each pattern has been tested by real-life crocheters just like you. They worked through the pattern and made sure there were plenty of photos, clear instructions, and useful tips. Plus, each tester checked for errors and problems, too! You can feel confident that when you purchase a pattern from ThePointedHat.net, you’re going to get a quality pattern that works up as promised.

Choose between the Bunny, Kitty, or Unicorn patterns – or, if you can’t decide, I’ve got a pattern bundle available too! Plus, when you buy the bundle, you save 30% over buying each pattern individually. That makes it super easy for you to treat yourself this Easter holiday season!

A Great Candy Swap

If you’re a parent like me, you’re probably always on the lookout for treats and gifts that are NOT candy.

That’s not to say that kids shouldn’t have candy now and again, but I always struggle to find kid-friendly basket stuffers that aren’t edible! Even a basic internet search for “easter basket stuffers for kids” comes up with mostly candy and food, right?

So I thought that food-themed plushies would be a perfect swap! Plus, they’ll last a lot longer than a real cupcake, they aren’t sticky, they won’t melt in warm weather, and they aren’t going to cause cavities!

Shop Now!

Take a peek at these pattern listings and their reviews. I work hard to make sure my customers are happy with their purchases! And, if you’re new to crochet and have questions about any of my patterns, you’re more than welcome to reach out to me and ask for help. I’m happy to lend a hand wherever I can!

Sheep Coffee Cozies

Crochet Pattern: Sheep Coffee Cup Cozy Sleeve

Sheep Coffee Cozies

Baaa! It’s the Sheep Coffee Cup Cozy!

This coffee cup cozy is the latest in my Farm Animal cup cozies line. The textured stitches are so squishy and soft, you’ll feel like you’re holding on to a real sheep! (Okay, maybe not, but we can’t pretend!)

With spring right around the corner, the sheep cozy is a perfect project for anyone looking to make Easter gifts! What says ‘springtime’ better than a brand new baby lamb?

Why buy from The Pointed Hat?

As always, my patterns are tested by real crocheters just like you! My testers look for errors and clarity. They make sure that I have thoroughly explained my pattern techniques and work closely with me to ensure that my patterns consistently result in great finished products!

Not only that, but I support fellow small business owners just like me. If you want to make and sell your physical products that you created with my pattern – go right ahead! All I ask for is that you tag me as the pattern creator when listing your products in an online marketplace. Easy peasy!

Do I have to use the same yarn?

No! In fact, any yarn that’s a medium/4/worsted weight yarn will work. Cotton, bamboo, wool, acrylic – use what you have on hand, or what makes you happy. All you really need to do is check the fit of your cozy on your desired cup. If you find your yarn brand makes the cozy too big, you can go down a hook size. Too small? Go up a hook size. My cozy patterns are so forgiving and versatile!

How much yarn does this pattern use?

This pattern is a perfect scrap buster! It uses LESS than 20yds of yarn total for the entire project! And even though I put safety eyes on my makes, you don’t even need to do that. Feel free to embroider or crochet eyes instead! This has the added bonus of making your cozy safer if you have small children in your home.

It’s worth noting that safety eyes are a choking hazard.


Even though they are called SAFETY eyes, they’re not 100% foolproof. Littles can chew on yarn, stretch the stitches, or even bite the eye and crack it. Any of those things can cause the eye to pull free from the cozy and be ingested. Please make sure you keep any project with safety eyes in it away from children under 3 years of age!

Crochet Pattern: Llama Alpaca Coffee Cup Tumbler Cozy Drink Sleeve

ThePointedHat Leave a comment

Llamazing!

Let’s face it: llamas are VERY trendy right now. And I can see why! With their adorable faces, furry-fluffy bodies, and sassy attitudes, it’s no wonder these critters have taken the world by storm!

If you’re one of those folks who find these animals irresistible, you’re in luck! Now you can crochet your very own llama (or alpaca, if you’d rather call it that) buddy to take along with you everywhere you go!

Use your favorite worsted/4/medium weight yarns, like cotton, bamboo, or acrylic to complete this project. Or, if you want a little “alpaca-ception”, you could make this with alpaca wool, too. Ha!

Why buy The Pointed Hat Patterns?

My patterns are tested, which means real life crocheters just like you have had the opportunity to try them out, look for errors, point out issues with clarification, etc. That means that every pattern you buy is proven to create a quality product!

Not only that, but when you buy patterns from me, you’re helping support a woman small business owner. Your purchases help me pay bills, AND keep releasing patterns just like this one!

And, if that’s not enough, you are welcome to sell any items you make using my pattern! You want to whip up a bunch of these beauties for sale at a craft fair? You go right ahead, and I hope they sell like hotcakes!

Horse Cup Cozy preview, 3 different colored options on cup of varying sizes

Neighled it!

We’ve all been there: you order your coffee in the drive through, and either it comes with one of those cardboard sleeves (which aren’t very cute, and they’re so wasteful!), or you’re stuck with freezing cold hands while you try to hold onto that iced latte.

That won’t be a problem once you make yourself a Horse Cup Cozy! They’re great for hot or cold drinks, and they fit a variety of cup sizes – whether you choose a small, or an extra large.

Plus, they aren’t limited to coffee cups! You can use them for almost any takeout drink cup, including most fast food cups, travel tumblers, or break room paper coffee cups. Just as long as your cup doesn’t have a handle, you’re golden.

And not only are these cup cozies reusable, you can customize them with whatever yarn color and fiber combination you prefer! You want to use cotton yarn? Go right ahead! Prefer wool, alpaca, or bamboo? That works too! Just as long as you have a 4/medium/worsted weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook, these cozies will work up perfectly!

Cow Cup Cozies

Mooooove over, disposable cardboard coffee sleeves! These cow cup cozies are washable, reusable, and ADORABLE!

With my new cup cozy pattern, cow lovers everywhere can make this cute, environmentally friendly replacement for those wasteful paper cup sleeves. They stretch to fit a variety of cup sizes, and when you wash them, they’ll shrink right back down to their original size, ready to be used again.

Customize your colors, accessories, and fiber types to make a cup cozy that suits your unique tastes.

Best of all, these cozies use very little yarn (about 18yds total!) and they take me 30 to 45mins to work up. Perfect for using up scraps, or making a bunch for craft fairs — because, yes, I do give you permission to make these for resale!

My patterns are clearly written, with lots of photos and step-by-step directions. What more could you want in a cozy pattern?

Make sure you stop by my shop to purchase this new pattern today – or buy the completed product to be shipped to you, over at my Etsy Store. You’ll be glad you did!
