My pretty, pretty hat
During my pregnancy, I had carpal tunnel and I wasn’t able to crochet anything. Fortunately, the condition went away within a month after Fuller was born and I was able to start on my first project- Fuller’s Christmas stocking. It took me a while to get it going, but once finished, I had that bug again. The bug that gets me to create and work my hands and fingers to crochet things.
My next project was a request from my mother to make her some arm rest covers. They ended up being glorified placemats, but were easy enough to get done while watching TV.
But while working on the arm covers, I started thinking about what to do next. I never made anything for myself, so I thought it would be nice to make a nice scarf and hat set that was cute and hip.
What do you think, did I succeed?
Yarn used: Caron Jewel Box, color Emerald 0009, 2.5 oz
Bernat Boa, color Bluebird, 1.75 oz
Pattern: from Better Homes and Gardens, Crochet 2004
We have been crocheting (spelling?) at our house lately too, I just finished a scarf for my brother-in-law and my husband is learning to crochet by making his first scarf.
VERY nice! I am jealous of your hat!
