Knotty Knits and Crochet

This beanie was made with the same pattern as the cable crochet one from my previous blog. I just switched colors on and off. It came out pretty good. Enjoy!

I just finished this hat today and I like it so much I am making another one in white and have 2 or 3 friends saying that they want one too!

This simple shawl or scarf was created for a friend of mine and the design is very easy to follow. First, I used Caron Simply Soft in Garnet and H8 5.00mm crochet hook. R1: Ch4 Hdc in first ch to form ring, turn. R2: Ch4 (counts as hdc ch2); hdc in ring, ch2, hdc in ring, turn. R3: Ch4 Hdc in first ch2 sp, ch2, hdc in next ch2 sp, ch2, hdc in 2nd ch of beginning ch4, turn. R4: Ch4 *hdc in ch2 sp, ch2* repeat to end of row, hdc in 2nd ch of beginning ch4, turn. Repeat row 4 till you reach your desired length and width, bind off and weave in your ends. Voila!!! You have your basic shawl or scarf. For the fringe, I wrapped the yarn around a DVD case and cut along the top to make the pieces. Then I used 2 lengths of yarn for each space along the sides of the shawl. I love this piece because it is simple and very fast to make. It also makes a great gift for anyone who needs a little lift.

I made this little hat for my sister's baby boy Ethan. It came out pretty small so it will probably only fit a new born. If you want it to be a little bigger you just have to add an extra increase row in the beginning. This pattern is worked in rounds.

This was my first knit project. It came out pretty good for my first time, if I do say so myself. I used Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight medium 4 yarn(ART. E300 color 0310 Monet) on size 8 (5.00mm) knitting needles. I think I saw a pattern somewhere online but I cant remember the website. CO 24 Row 1: Knit Row 2: Knit Row 3: *K2, P2* Repeat to end of row ending with P2 Row 4: *P2, K2* Repeat to end of row ending with K2 Row 5: *K2, P2* Repeat to end of row ending with P2 Row 6 & 7: Knit Repeat rows 3-7 or this pattern till you get to your desired length and cast off on Knit row. To add fringe, I wrapped the yarn around a DVD case and cut it. Then used an H size crochet hook to pull through the loops on both ends of the scarf.
