I made this hat in grey’s for my son Rowan a few years ago. When I shared a photo with my friend Terri, she asked me if I could make one for her husband for Christmas, I had enjoyed knitting it and I had the yarn in my stash so I said sure. This one is made in brown’s.
When my friends have babies and grandbabies, they get blankets! I’ve watched Robin’s kids grow up in the neighbourhood, so when her son and his wife had their first baby this year, of course I made a blanket and a hat. The yarn is the same I knit my cousin’s granddaughters blanket set with earlier this year, but in the colour sage. It’s a really lovely yarn to work with, knit or crochet.
I followed the pattern from a video on YouTube, the border turned out so lovely! It’s very elegant as the name suggests.
My husbands co-workers decided on a Where’s Waldo theme for their office Halloween, I got recruited to knit hats. Five in total, took a week. Definitely a last minute project.
My son Rowan was in his friend’s wedding party in August, I offered to make a blanket as a wedding gift. Went with the classic ripple in many shades of blue and green, with some purples and white thrown in for contrast.
I really struggled with weaving in ends, after doing it with the Attic24 instructions by doing it double stranded, I started a few rounds of a border. I realized I didn’t like the border colour I’d chosen, and the woven in ends were lumpy and unattractive. I pulled the border out. Then plucked out all the ends and wove them in single stranded, much happier, then also changed up the border idea.
Border: followed instructions from Snufflebean Crochet on straightening up the end rows, then followed her ripple edging with first two rounds in Aster, then round 3 in Lapis with corners done as 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc. No round 4.
