Woman's winter beanie - crochet pattern from "Army of owls" - also name the Kay hat

Beanie or cloche hat size is 9" height x 10" width of base or 23cm height x 25.5cm width of base.  This beanie (Kay Hat) will fit a head  circumference of 20" to 22.5" OR 51cm to 57cm, it has quite a bit of stretch as I crochet quite loosely, so it should feel cozy.  The bottom edge of beanie will roll up slightly, 0.5" depending on how long it goes onto your head. Bottom of beanie can be rolled up a bit if it is longer than you need.

Crochet hook used: 5.5mm for crown and body.  Then 5mm for the bottom and brim.
Stitches used: chain, crossed, crab stitches for the edge of beanie, single crochet and double crochet.

Beanie or cloche hat is made of 8 ply 100% soft quality acrylic yarn in three colour stripes as shown here, IVORY, WINE RED and GREY.
Beanie is ready made and now in stock.  READY TO BE SHIPPED.

Multi-colour beanie made for sale at Etsy.com

Hi there

I have just started to sell the beanies I made from trying out crochet patterns, on Etsy.com.
Thanks goes to Ravelry.com and this site for sharing the pattern I tried out.
http://aghandmades.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/les-trois-rayures.html

Some minor variations to this pattern I made include the last row of pink yarn uses double treble crochet v-stitch instead of the usual double crochet v-stitch.  This is to give a bit of height and stretch for the beanie.  I added a reverse single crochet stitch as edging to finish of the beanie.

The finished beanie size is 8" height x 9.25" width of base or 20.5cm height x 24cm width of base.  This will fit a head  circumference of 18" to 20" (46cm to 51cm), it has quite a bit of stretch as I crochet quite loosely, so it should feel cozy.

Made of 8 ply acrylic yarn in multi-colour stripes as shown here, white, natural fawn, variegated orange/red/yellow, lilac, dark brown, dusty pink and burgundy red.

This beanie looks great on my kid, so I thought it may interest someone else.  Perhaps I can add a pom pom just to make it fun.

Finished size:
19" circumference (unstretched)
8" height from crown/top of beanie to bottom of beanie

Sized to suit a toddler's head with 18" to 20" circumference.

Thanks goes to Ravelry.com and this site for the pattern.

Crochet another scarf?

Trying a new stitch pattern from this website:

http://monpetitviolon.com/free-stitch-patterns/

I chose pattern #4 to crochet for this project.
Thinking of making this into a scarf, around 5" width

For this project, I am using a 4mm crochet hook, 8 ply 100% acrylic yarn, Panda Magnum soft 8 ply.  Colour code:  4613 Lot 7782950 light brown.  1 roll of yarn gives 189 metres.

This is the finished scarf,

Measurement 147cm length x 17cm width and width or 58" length x 6.5” width without tassels. 

With tassels, total scarf length is 66"

Item weighs approximately 200g.

Crochet shell patterned scarf for a toddler using acrylic/nylon blend 4 & 8 ply baby yarn #2

This is another try at the shell pattern, this time I am using up my 8 ply and 4 ply yarns.  It is a scrap yarn project, so you can see me using light pink, white and deep pink/magenta coloured yarns.  It is a mix of 8 ply and 4 ply yarn, but you can hardly see the difference.  Used 4mm crochet hook.

Measures:  4" width x 53" length

Suits a toddler or little girl.  Great for the cooler months.  The baby yarn is soft to your feel and it does not make you itch.
