Crochet project number 2….
With the roaring success of the crocheted cushion cover still ringing in my ears, I was keen to crack on and start my next crocheting project….
I saw this fab post by The Stitch Sharer for a hat, and it looked pretty good, so I thought I would give it a go!
This is what I was aiming for….
Very glamorous picture of fabby hat as made by The Stitch Sharer…
This is what I ended up with…
Very unglamorous picture of not so fabby hat as made by me…
It is all my fault.
As I can’t buy any new wool, I am, again, using up ‘odds and sods’ that I have been donated or found in charity shops, and I have to confess that the colour scheme is awful not really very well thought out.
And I deviated from the original pattern…
I did the required 16 rounds as per the pattern, but it didn’t really fit on my head very well. Maybe I am just not chic enough to wear these jaunty angled hats-I need something that comes down over my ears and won’t budge. So I kept on going and did at least another 10 rounds…
By this point I had decided I didn’t like the colours I had done but was loathe to unravel the whole thing, so I thought that adding a pretty pattern to the edge might make it all better…
It didn’t.
Gutted.
BUT….
It does make a good basket..!
Currently housing the dinosaurs my mum knitted for the Smalls..!!
My sincere apologies to the lovely Stitch Sharer. I will try again when I have a proper amount of wool in a decent colour…
