Batman Cape!

Okay, so we are all about Halloween at our house. If you don't believe me, just check out my costume:

Anyway, because I was so excited for Halloween, I offered to make my nephew a Batman cape for Christmas because obviously, Batman is the coolest superhero ever and my 4-year-old nephew is always pretending to be Batman. So here is what I came up with:

Siya Doll

All right, so I know it's been a while since I've posted a new pattern...I've been busy on Pinterest finding tons of other cool blogs with free crochet patterns and forgot to post on my own, lol. Anyway, last Christmas I decided to make a doll for my niece. She has the curliest hair ever and it's hard to find dolls with curly hair that look like her, so I decided to make one that somewhat resembles her. I think it turned out pretty cute, so here is the pattern if anyone else is interested...
