Just a quick post for you before I turn in for the night. Last week when my friend was over here (when I hurt my ankle,) she saw my stack o’ hats for my Max hat pattern, and asked if I could make her and her daughter a matching set.
So I picked up some sparklie pink and black yarn when I was finally able to go to the yarn store.
The Lorraine knit ear warmers with buttons is a quick and easy knit pattern that makes a perfect gift. Keep your ears warm and your hair fab!
Lorraine is an easy bulky weight ear warmer pattern that buttons in the back so you don’t mess up your hair putting it on.
With cute braids woven in on the sides and a playful pom pom on top, the Miss Clause Hat is a fun look for the gift giving gal!
Bloom is a slightly loose fitting crochet hat pattern with a tie string that tightens it to fit and create a blooming flower.
So I had an idea the other day! The littles (26 month old twins) and I were sitting on the couch under an Afghan my Nana made. We were having a great time, but the fort was a bit small. So I thought I would like to make two granny square type blankets and stitch them together. That way we will have a BIG fort blanket, but as the girls get bigger I can separate the blankets and they can each have one. I don’t want squares, though. I’m thinking 6 sides (Hexagons).
I do know how to make hexagons, so now I just need to buy some fun yarn and come up with some pretty patterns. I want to do patterns with two or three colors, or non-open stitches. I don’t want tons of holes other then the center and the corners. That being said, I do like this one, even with the holes.
So yesterday I tested out a hexagon I already knew how to make.
I wasn’t too keen on it. I think I will start off with the pattern I linked. I’ll test more after I buy the yarn on Monday.
The whole time I was crocheting, the twins were saying “hat, hat, hat?”. So this morning I transformed the hex into this:
