Enough of that, lets share some crochet goodness :) While I wasn't knitting J's snood I had to find something else to do, and although I had a few projects on the go (surprise huh!?) I stumbled across this pattern on Easy! Makes me happy & I was quite literally hooked!
I've tried about a million times to get some decent photos but it's been impossible so I hope you can tell it's a crochet hat with some cross stitch on it :) It's surprisingly warm despite being quite thin & the best thing is it fits under my bike helmet so I can keep my ears warm, yesssss :)
Looking a bit serious :p probably annoyed I'd taken a million photos.
Cross stitch is dead easy, the pattern shows you at the end how to do your stitches, I followed the flower pattern using some left over Stylecraft from other projects.
I've looked all over for the yarn label but I can't find it - you'll have to be content that it was a cheap cheap cheap aran yarn from my LYS, nothing special :)
I've since made another for our little nephew but maybe I'll wait til he's wearing it to get a photo, he's bound to be a much cuter model!
I've just watched J spend 15 minutes trying to catch a fish, he keeps tropical fish and one of them was looking pretty grim. I have a feeling we'll be off soon to his LFS - I have yarn, he has fish!

ReplyDeleteI do not think I have ever seen cross stitch on crochet...that is a great idea and it makes a lovely visual impact brightening up an other wise plain project. I love the idea it fits under you bike helmet too. Really...clever old you! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis hat is really pretty! I think cross-stitching on crochet is a great idea.
