DAYCARE ATTENDANT BERET PATTERN
This pattern is made to modify an 8 inch wide beret and print on US letter paper, PDF and instructions under the cut. Takes approximately 4 hours.
Don't want to make one? I can make one for you.
PDF
This pattern is intended for basic knowledge of hand sewing, and uses (though you're welcome to go for something else) the blanket stitch and back stitch.
You will need:
A golden felt beret
Gold felt (1 standard sheet should do)
Cream or pale yellow felt (You will need something at least 8 inches wide, you can find felt by the yard, but you will have a lot of excess)
White felt
Embroidery floss in gold, cream/pale yellow, white, and light brown/straw
It's important to get the order of appliques right when making this, I started with the ring of rays (1) around the widest part of the hat, pinning them down to be evenly spaced and sewing them with the blanket stitch, the stitch facing the head hole of the beret. I did ten to make an even ring, but Daycare has 9. It's up to you.
Lay the face pattern piece down (4) and place the gold smile (2) half (to match where the cream smile will be, stitching it down.
Per next photo, do a back stitch in gold thread that's 1/2" long, this will be the center line of the teeth.
4. At each center line stitch, meet with more back stitching along the height of the smile, doing 4 stitches at the tallest parts, and 2 otherwise.
5. Use pattern piece 4 once again to determine where to place the eye (3) on the right side of the face, appliqueing it down
6. Repeat placement to find where to put the right cheek (5), and applique.
7. Applique the face (4) down, being sure to align it with the rest of the face.
8. Applique the cream half of the smile, and use the brown/straw thread to embroider the mouth as before.
9. Applique the eye in place.
10. Applique the nose (6) and cheek
11. Embroider the eyebrow, nostril detail, and eyelash as shown.
You have completed the beret! Congratulations.

Happy New Year, Tumblr! It's my resolution this year to get more on top of my shit and actually post here. Part of my resolution is to also have more of the "& Crafts" to my Pop Arts.
This is a cross stitch I made as a gift. It was super weird to find an amazing pattern that fit so well with an inside joke. My bestie and I became friends over joking that old houses are full of ghosts (or particularly haunted looking thrift store items) and we had quite the time canning this season so, honestly, this pattern by Lola Crow Cross Stitch was creepily on point.
I made a few changes from the original pattern and those basically all dealt with color. My bestie loves pink and shiny things and her office is pink so I did some bold color changes - Blues became pinks. White became shiny metallic white. Gold became metallic gold. (And if you've never worked with metallic thread... it's not for the faint of heart.)
I'm so happy with how this worked up and that I found the perfect frame in the clearance section of Michael's.
You're going to be seeing much more "& Crafts" from me in the coming future. So stay tuned.
Also, if you've never used a needle minder while stitching, you really should. They're life changers. Instead of finding a needle in your foot, it's stuck to the magnet on your piece.
For this project I used one of my Eat The Rich Needle Minders.
Because what goes better than a pink mason jar full of ghosts than a pink cake based on the French Revolution?
If you want to find or follow me in more places, you can find me here!
Talk soon, babes 🖤

been having a rough recovery from the semester so am going to stop trying to Do Things I’m Supposed To Do and make a cute lil raccoon friend who has been named Ranny
I’m doing to do a trial/prototype then make one that will be a gift for a little girl (who was the whole inspiration in the first place)
I drafted myself a pattern and wrote the instructions on the pieces to make it easier now that the brain fog is back so badly
stay tuned
