Well the weather has been getting a little chilly around here and we've had some very blustery weather too so naturally my mind turned to making a few snuggly things to wear outdoors.
First up is this very bright Granny Hat I made for my 22 month old toddler (above) - which she promptly dumped over the side of her buggy while we were shopping and lost...
So then came Mark 2, this one with earflaps and ties in an attempt to keep it on her head! I made up the pattern myself and ended up having to look at the photos of the first to try and figure out exactly what I did...
The pattern for this hat was in the latest edition of Inside Crochet (I bought a digital edition) and I loved the geometric design created by the post stitches. I did do the brim of it a little different to the pattern though.
For myself I made a scarf from some lovely King Cole Riot wool my sister bought me for my birthday. This was another pattern I made up as I went along. I just chained until I felt the scarf was long enough then did each row in the back loop only to make the ribbed effect.
Finally I got out my loom and made this hat for my 6 year old daughter on one of my looms. She absolutely loves the big floppy pompom on top. My loom skills aren't fantastic though, a lot more practice is needed!
So there we are, we've all got something a little cozy for the end of Autumn and the beginning of Winter :-)
