 A few weeks ago, I asked Kailea to paint me a picture. I wanted it to have her style painting that she's been doing lately. Colorful but with bold black outlines. I wanted a copy of an old advertisement that I had seen at the Little Dutch Store in Salt Lake City. First I looked for a similar copy on eBay... but none ever turned up. So, I turned to Kailea for my copy. She did a wonderful job. We turned it into stickers as well and they are available in our Etsy shop . I love Kailea's version. It's hanging in my front foyer next to my wooden shoe collection :-) Kailea's painting And here is the original advertisement that's hanging up in the Little Dutch Store in Salt Lake City, Utah:

 This is my first free crochet pattern that I have shared. It hasn't been tested by anyone other than me, so it should be made by an experienced crocheter. That said, I think I have written it clearly. Just about every stitch is single crochet. I do like to begin with the magic ring technique most of the time. I also use a continuous round system so a stitch marker will help you keep track of your round and stitch. It's not listed in the pattern but I often subtract or add a stitch when switching colors to line up my rounds. It's just a personal preference for looks.  Enjoy making and be sure and tag me on social media with your finished creation. I would love to see your version!
