On the Lookout

People have requested this hat more than any others I have crocheted. This is the only multi-color one I crocheted.  It is brown, purple, and beige.  I kept it for myself, but I rarely wear it. Although I LOVE to crochet hats, hats and me - I don't know.

I made this hat in terracotta for one of my best friends, but she lost it while on vacation.  She has been asking me to make another one ever since. I would have done it already because I love her dearly.  However, there is one problem. The yarn I would use to make this hat was discontinued. Boo!

Therefore, Labor Day weekend, I will go out looking for a suitable replacement yarn.  I hope it comes out nicely.  It will be nice to surprise her for Christmas. The pattern is Lion Brand Suede Cap.

Hounds Tooth Scarf for Christmas

I am almost done with the hounds tooth scarf.  I just need to sew it together since it will be an infinity scarf.  I really liked this pattern because it is a classic design and it works up quickly.  It has been a while since I crocheted for my sisters-in-law for Christmas, so I think this is the pattern I will use.  I will make them in brown and beige, and burgundy and pink.  I think I will make one for myself in burgundy and gray.  If I have time, I might make matching hats.  The hats, I think will be mostly solid with just a bit of the hounds tooth pattern.  I got this pattern from Elk Studio.
