Mermaid Berry Kit Hat

 

I've fallen in love with knitting Kitty Hats!

 



My Berry Kit hats are a flat kitty hat worked in the round and I've incorporated this free Bubble pattern into them.

I made this one with my FAVORITE Red Heart Super Saver in Cool Stripe color on size 7 needles. I just love the slow gradient hombre of these colors.

Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat

 

 I found this unique Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat by Julee Fort for free on Ravelry.

 


I wish I'd used colors that contrasted more so the variation in the pattern would have been more obvious. I really like the drop-down striped look of it. My blue and green version came out a bit small, too, so I'm going to try a J hook next time.

I used a size H hook, Red Heart Cool Stripes color for the main color and Caron Simply Soft Party in Teal Sparkle for the contrasting stripes.

Sara Swirl

 
Sara Swirl Hat with a bow
 


I made this swirl hat for Sara for the holidays and it goes with her entrelac scarf pretty well!

 
The swirl hat is a pattern that I recreated from memory. I knit it on size 8 needles using Caron Simply Soft Party in Silver Sparkle color H97PAR for the main color and Caron Simply Soft in Watermelon color 9604 for the pink stripe.

 

 
The bow is an easy, free Crochet Bow pattern that I made using a G hook and Caron Simply Soft Party in Teal Sparkle color.

Autumn Entrelac

 

Beautiful autumn colored entrelac gift for my friend. 

 


My entrelac scarves are a personal variation based on this free Ravelry Entrelac Scarf pattern by Allison LoCicero.

I knit it on size 8 needles with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in Polo color.

Christmas Gorros

 
Christmas hats for Yesie, Paola, and Mia

(featuring Audrey and Hazel)
~~~

Yesie picked a pink and white Owl Hat made with a progressive pink and white dc remnant and glitter yarn accents. The pattern is based on this owl hat pattern. 


Paola originally picked a cotton, rainbow hat with earflaps, but then changed her mind (many times) to a strawberry hat. 



Mia picked a sparkly berry cat hat with silver ears.
