Another pattern I've created

I have created this very textured double thick, reversible hat using only 2 stitches. There are multiple sizes. Toddler (1-3yrs) will work for anyone with a head circumference around 16-17”. Child (4-10yrs) will work for anyone with a head circumference around 18-19”. Adult Female will work for anyone with a head circumference around 19-20”. and Adult Male will work for anyone with a head circumference around 21-22”. It is worked in one continuous “tube”, and it can easily be lengthened or shortened, with instructions on how in the pattern. Although I used Red Heart any worsted weight yarn should work.

Materials needed include 5-6 oz (200-280 yds) worsted weight yarn in 2 colors, H/8/5.00mm hook, blunt-end needle.

Written in US terminology.

Intermediate level: although only 2 sts, 1 is not a “typical” stitch and the pattern can be a little confusing with the increases and decreases.

A very big thank you to my testers:  Joanne, Carmen,  Cindy, and Shannon!

That time again...

Well here is more of what I have done this week... Another Hat, I donated the 2 spider hats and the pixie hat to Catholic Charities:

Then I finished this DS Case (it has 6 game pockets and 3 memory card pockets on the inside):

And as promised the 3 afghans that I have been working on... I am making "pillowghans" (where the afghan folds into a pocket to become a pillow, like a quillo)... I have 3 squares for each done, I will be making a total of 16 squares (a 3x5 and a square for the pocket) I included muted "squares" to represent the way it will be organized...
Here is the first which will be done in burnt orange and "linen"... I will join with a brown, but haven't chose which one yet...

The next will be made primarily the same as what you see, the variegated center with an orange ring and then the majority of the square in the same variegated... It will be joined with a yellow (hence the yellow background)

Finally This one is the most "involved"... I first made the center square with the celtic knots to incorporate ALL of the colors that will be used... The rest of the squares will be a solid color of the 4 colors used in the first one... This one will be joined in a dusty gold color, similar to the background...

ok, going to try to blog once a week...

Wish me luck... here are the items that I have completed to date: One of the first things I finished this year was mine and Greg's scrapghan:

I made myself another Hook Case... If you are looking for the pattern I got it on Ravelry (here), but I altered it quite a bit so here is my project page with a few notes... I love this one, and have many compliments on it:

I made a total of 5 sets of Fingerless Gloves (Brie commissioned me to make 4, and I wanted a pair) So here is one of the commissioned and then my pair:
and
Then I tested a pattern for this hat (uber cute, too bad I have a boy not a girl hehe)

I tried my hand in Tapestry crochet to make this square, that I sent to a friend to add to her blanket (It's a prayer square- I pray while crocheting, she assembles with other squares to be able to wrap herself in love and prayers)

The next 2 squares are also prayer squares sent to Gigi and Lisa:
and
Then I tested for a Tapestry style hat (I think I want to try it again w/ different colors that will show better) These will go to my local Catholic Charities:

Next I made 4 more prayer squares to send to Cindy so she can assemble for her sick nephew:

Finally I finished a fringe blanket photo prop for Greg to use in his photography:

This has all been done this year... I have also been working on some more blankets which I will get a collage of the squares made so far and will post them during next weeks post... And once I start posting again regularly, I won't have as many to post each week hehe
