ROSY STRIPES

Now this is a really soft knit hat.  I made this hat using mohair yarn.  I hadn't worked with mohair yarn before and because it is a thinner yarn, I added a soft burgundy colored yarn to it to give it more thickness.  The outcome of the double knit treatment is a very thick, soft hat that will provide lots of warmth for the chilly weather ahead.

BURGUNDY SWIRLS

I really like the colors in this hat.  I combined a variegated yarn with a solid burgundy colored yarn and came up with this.  The burgundy yarn contrasted with the white, blue and brown sections of the variegated yarn and blended right in with the wine ciolored section.  I think this combination is strengthened by the two yarns mixed together.  The extra yarns also added to the thickness and the overall warmth of this winter hat.

A PILE OF SCARVES

I have been making scarves to go with the hats that I have been knitting recently.  Each hat will have a warm scarf rolled up and stuffed inside the hat.  Here are four of my latest creations.

WORLD TRAVELLER

This is just a funny name for a hat perched on top of a little world's globe.  How cute is that?  The hat was knit from two strands of yarn with one strand being very soft and fluffy.  It is a very thick knit hat and will surely keep a young someone's head warm later this year.  Travel on!!

PASTEL SWIRLS

Isn't this a lovely pastel colored hat?  Why, yes it is.  Thank you very much for asking.  It is also a very warm hat because it is double knit with an extra white yarn woven in for a tweedy look.  I think some small child will look just adorable wearing this hat in cold weather.  The colors say Spring, the thickness says Winter.

WILD RICE

The colors in this hat remind me of cooked wild rice.  I made this hat with four layers of yarn so it is very thick and will stand up to a cold winter wind.  I know it is Spring now, but winter will come again before you know it.  Someone's head will appreciate this hat.  I guarantee.
