Combination Summer Hat

My very first design!

This is a crochet summer hat with a knit band. It’s designed in three lengths for slouchiness.

I recommend using cotton for the closest match to the lengths in the pattern. My test run in wool came out quite a bit shorter.

Get your wings...

I'm edging up on another update to the shop. I'm hoping to get some glove patterns offered in the next few weeks.

I figured I would share a picture of this cute little shrug I'm working on. I still need to pick an edging and crochet it...but the golden beaded wings are very subtle and cute...they wrap just under the sleeves.

Look for it in my shop soon!

Sneakers!

These gloves remind me of a pair of shoes.
The pattern calls for the gloves to be laced with
knitted I-cord, but I think they could also be the
perfect place to showcase unique shoelaces and
other unique embellishments. Knit flat with row by
row instructions, these gloves are a surprisingly quick
project. The example pair is half fingerless, but tips
are given for completing the fingers or taking them off
entirely. As you work the finger stubs, additional
stitches are picked up along the sides of the gap and
passed over working stitches to eliminate the need to
close holes at the end. Basic reference websites are
provided for techniques used in this pattern.

Sizing
Length 8 in. (20.25 cm) from cuff to tip of
middle finger stub.
Cuff 5.5 in. (14 cm) around

Gauge
7 sts per inch and 9 rows per inch in St st knit flat.

Supplies
Size 2 (3 mm) circular knitting needle (long enough
for magic loop) or double pointed needles
Size 3 (3.25 mm) knitting needle (for bind off)
165 yards worsted weight yarn in main color (Teal in
example)
110 yards of worsted weight yarn in contrasting
color (Brown in example)
Yarn needle to weave in ends
Stitch Markers

Techniques Used
Knitting in the Round on Circular or Double Pointed
Needles
Basic Intarsia
Picking Up Stitches
Knitting I-Cord
Multiple Yarn Overs
Jogless Stripes
M1 Increases on wrong side of work
Backwards Loop Cast On
