Woolly Diagonale Hat

 One of the most creative hat designers is Woolly Wormhead. I think I have made several of her hats over the years. 

This one was about as easy and fast a hat as you can make. It is made on two needles instead of circular if that matters to you. It is just garter stitch with increases and decreases. And if you want to take a break from casting on and binding off, you start with three stitches and end with three stitches. Give it a try.

By the way, it is a free pattern. Be sure to thank the Woolly Wormhead.

It's Fawn Season

 One of the best parts of living in a mountain community is sharing it with the wildlife. This mama and her twins are stopped among the trees. I understand that there is also a set of triplets here in Roxborough Park as well.

Only a Few Weeks Until Football Season!

I love football. That is, American football. I live just south of the city of Denver, so I always follow the Denver Broncos. So here is a hat with the Bronco logo on it. I know I can't sell this because it is a copyrighted logo, but I can give it away. I think my husband wants it though.

Gotta love a blue-trimmed horse.

Simple and Snug

It's simple and snug. The star of this hat is actually the yarn. It is purple or dark lavender, not sure what it is called, and slightly variegated in lighter and darker hues. It is a simple reverse rib with a twisted knit stitch on every sixth stitch.

Is It a Cowl or a Hood? Doesn't matter -- it's free

I don't know why I don't make more hoods because I really like them.

This pattern is a lacy cowl / hood that I made in teal (although it looks blue) and light green.  It's also a fun lace pattern so go for it! I used Lion Brand Amazing Lace and am working on one in Loops and Threads Woolike. Both are perfect for this pattern.

This is a free pattern on Ravelry at this link. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jennylous-lace-cowl
