Purl Soho Hat & Hand Warmers

I ordered this knitting kit from Purl Soho last winter in Peacock Blue.  I thought it looked like a good beginner knit project, but I never got around to opening it until just recently.  The pattern was easy to follow and the hat and hand warmers knit up fast.  The yarn is very very soft.

Yarn and project details are in the Ravelry link.

Brioche Scarf

I found this pretty yarn a few years ago and finally attempted to knit a scarf last winter.  The yarn is Katia in Inca.  Ravelry project here.

Crochet Puppy Hat

There is always someone I know that is having a baby.  This time I made a puppy hat.  I sent Mike a picture, since he is working out of state, and he told me it looks like a bear...  I guess we will have to see what kind of animal it looks like on the baby's head.

The pattern is from Repeat Crafter Me and the pattern can be found here.

The Hungry Caterpillar

I made this blanket for a friend that had a baby in July.  These 2 blankets were my inspiration:

I wanted the caterpillar to resemble the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" .

 

 

I made the blanket using a Pineapple Stitch, and did a single crochet border.  I sewed the caterpillar body onto the blanket.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and now I'm ready to work on a smaller project.

For more detail, this project is on Ravelry.

Brown Bunny Update

I made a bunny hat and diaper cover last summer see this post.  My friend emailed me some pictures of her son in the outfit several months ago.  I am slow at updating this blog.

 

 

 

I think it turned out good, and this little boy is very cute.

Crochet Princess Hat

My friend's 5 year old daughter told me that she wanted me to make her a Princess Hat.  I found this pattern for a crochet hat with braids and a crown.  I originally made the braids thick like the pattern, but when I gave the hat to the little girl for Christmas she told me she didn't want the braids so fat.  So I pulled out half the yarn in the braids.

Angry Bird Crochet Hats

I'm catching up on my completed projects.  Not that I have worked on anything lately... since I got this little cutie.

My cute little puppy Honey has a tendency to eat yarn, not just eat it...tear it apart!  There has been little project making since we got her.

Last winter I had 2 friends that saw my angry birds I made for my nephew (this post here) and they asked me to make them Angry Bird Hats.  I finally got around to making them this year for Christmas.

 

I decorated my Christmas tree in hats this year because I was too lazy to pull out the decorations...but I forgot to take a picture of all the hats of the tree.  I got the free crochet patterns from the blog Crafts by Starlight.  I enlarged both patterns to fit adult males since the patterns were made for children.

 

The Red Angry Bird Pattern can be found here.  I made this hat for Josh.

The Black Angry Bird Pattern can be found here.  I made this pattern for Jason.
