It’s been a while but I had a chance to design something for little ones. It’s a cute crochet Scent of Spring hooded cape crochet pattern for beginners that is inspired by Spring breeze.
Click here to <3 this pattern on Ravelry
Materials: ( I used )
5mm crochet hook
Light weight/DK yarn: Bernat baby jacquards florals ( 200 gr for the sample – size 2XS & XS/ 100 gr or 346 yds per skein)
Eyelash yarn: burgundy ( optional )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each round/row instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each round/row, so choose your best technique 🙂

2 dc – V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch2, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space
