PERKY PINKY PIGGY


Yikes!  Now that I look at this I'm thinking it's kind of bright.  What a contrast the dark red and pink yarns make and it's a lot more noticeable in the striped cuff area.  Well, I hope someone likes it.  It is knit from very soft yarn and the hat will certainly keep someone's head warm this winter.  Go Pinky!!

EARTH TONES


Just a mix of neutral earth tone yarns combined in a double knit pattern makes this a warm hat for the cold weather outside.  Goes with everything and it's soft, too.  mmmmm

LITTLE BOOKWORM


No, the hat doesn't look like a worm.  It's just propped up against a book shelf.  Thus, the name.  The hat is a very nice kid's size hat knit with pastel pieces of yarn left over from other projects.  The mixed yarns come with their own story, like chapters in a book.  So, the name is fitting, really.  Snuggle up with a good book tonight.  Stay warm.

A LOVELY START


It is a new year and I am thinking ahead to where my travels will take me this year.  I am pretty much open for anything.  I know I will be driving all over the USA.  So... I made this hat.  It is cold outside right now and this hat keeps my head very warm.  The yarns have a lot of texture.  The earthy colors look good on me.  There are always two winters every year--at the beginning and the end.  I'm all set.  Let's go.

SOFT AND WARM


I made this hat with two different yarns.  The creamy colored yarn is soft and thick with an uneven slubby texture.  The black yarn is very soft and light weight.  Together they give a nice warmth for the ears in the cuff section and a smooth fitting softness to the brim.  It's very cute!

LITTLE BOY BLUE


This hat is very warm because it has a double knit crown and the brim has three layers of yarn.  Perfect for any outdoor adventure in the cold, snowy days of winter.  Nice colors, too.

A Bunch of Snow



This is a very soft hat and it is knit with chunky yarn.  The hat reminds me of soft, fluffy snow, fresh fallen on a pine branch, and yet the hat gives warmth to the head it adorns.   Toasty.
