Pickle Cocoon

Pickle Cocoon

This design was for a baby shower gift and I was really excited to make it. A crocheted Cocoon is used to keep the baby swaddled and as a photograph prop. They can be done in any design and color combination. This is something I wish I would have known about when my little ones where this little. The pictures would have been so adorable, if you know of any photograher that would like some of these, give them my email address :)

The bumps on this pickle threw me a little because I am not an avid pickle eater so I had to do some research. Trying to make the pickle look like a pickle but still keep the adorable factor in there is quite challenging, and I like challenges. I can't wait to see this design in action~!!!




My Designs

All of my designs come straight from my thoughts to my hands, patterns aren't for me. I struggle to follow them and always question what stitch comes next, I just get lost. So before I sit down to design for someone I pray first, then I gather my creative thoughts to fit what the person would like. And as I create their custom design I pray, praying for the reciever of the hat, praying for the person ordering, praying for well just about anything that comes to mind. Thoughts are the first part of any actions, so I want the first thoughts of my designs to be great ones. That way all of my designs come out great and brighten someone's day. The hats not only make the hat wearer smile but make the ones seeing the designs smile also.

If you would like to place an order please send me an email at nicolep1922@gmail.com this is the best way to contact me and get the ordering process started. The power of prayer is what got this whole thing started and is what will continue to touch so many people's lives. If your looking for a personal gift that is completely customizable then you've found the right place :) I not only make hats but anything that can be crocheted or sewn! I'm quite the creative crafter and will be posting up more great and wonderful designs.

If you'd like to look for me on Facebook here is a link to the page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nicoles-Hat-Designs/183442988356370  , I upload completed orders there along with new designs.
