WARM HAT AND NEW YARN


These crocheted hats were a hit with my grandchildren and so quick to make. I did post a photo of the pink one, posing on a salt cellar but they do look so much better actually on a head. I hope you agree!
 I used some left over Drops Big Delight and unusually I managed to use up near enough all of the yarn by also making them both a crochet head band.
They should keep their heads warm on their winter walks to and from school!


I wanted to make them a little something before I start on baby clothes for their little baby brother.

Here is the yarn I have chosen to begin with!


I'm already working on the sleeves of a first size jacket which will also have pants and socks in the blue edging colour.
I know, I have seemed to have bought quite a lot of blue, when there are so many colours out there but, this is just a starting point!
