Cabled Beanie

Do you remember when I found that my

local yarn (chain) store had started stocking

Lionbrand yarn?

Well I finally made something with it!

I got this pattern from All About Ami

I think it still needs a pompom but 1 ball of yarn

left me with only a few metres to try and make one.

I have also heavily modified this pattern as 

I crochet tightly and didn't want it to

be too bulky at the top where you pull it together.

Movie Inspired Beanie

I bet you can guess what movie the inspiration

for this beanie comes from!

With my niece Isabella

obsessed with the movie Frozen

I thought this would be an excellent idea

for a home-made Christmas Present

Check out my Ravelry Project Page

A photo of Isabella wearing will be added

after Christmas!

Crochet Braided Headwrap

[Finally some crochet!]

I have been wanting to make this headwrap

for quite some time and when one of my

sisters asked if I would make her one

I knew this was the one to make.

I found the pattern on Love City Blog

and also on Ravelry.

There is a link to an iKnits video

that is Very helpful when it comes

to the braiding part.

I did struggle with the braiding part

but once I got it - it looked fantastic!

For this one I used Moda Vera Marvel 12 ply in white with a 5.5mm hook.

I chained 235 and crochet 6 rows of single crochet stitches.

I've already got a few more 

colours in the works because they

look so awesome!
