Butterfly clips

We are still covered in smow here.  I am so excited for it to ALL GO AWAY!  Until then, making these cute little butterflies, bring hope for the Spring.  I saw thers on Little Birdie Secrets  Have I mentioned how much I love this blog?  I had an order for a 3 month old newsboy hat and HAD to add a butterfly clip to the strap.

Color Examples

I have had some requests for certain colors for bands and flowers so I put this pic together.  Some of these colors are not true to what the pic is but it gives you a good idea of what I have.  I probably have 15 or so that I don't have listed.  If you want it, I will find it!
I have decided to start donating 1 hat for every 10 that I sell.
I have run into some sweet people who have loved ones that have lost their hair due to their cancer treatment.  I can't imagine the struggle of having my hair fall out on top of fighting cancer.  I have been able to donate 3 since January.  I kinda cheated but that is OK!  If you want to "nominate" someone to receive one of my freebie's please leave a comment or email me at totallyradcrafts@gmail.com.

Ruffle Flower Clip

I don't know it if is because I LOVE this variegated yarn, but I have a huge crush on these ruffle flowers.  If you know how to do a double crochet, you can make this!  It is about 150 stitches of ruffle bliss.  Here are the instructions:
Chain 4, slip stitch in the 1st stitch to connect
Row 1
n the circle do 15 double crochet, slip stitch in the 1st stitch to connect
Row 2
do 3 double crochet in each stitch then ss in the 1st stitch to connect
 Row 3
do 2 double crochet in each stitch then ss in the 1st stitch to connect 
Your ruffles are done!
Add a button to the front and a clip to the back. 
(The flower on the baby was made with 4 dc in row 2 instead of 3dc)
