THANK YOU Marjorie Kari and Shelby for this AWESOME donation! This will really keep many folks much warmer this winter! The family that crochets together stays together! Keep your hooks flying!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Ladies! Can you share what pattern you use for your hats, they look super stretchy and LONG?
ReplyDeleteThe hats look great and will definitely keep someone warm and cozy! And I think it's great teaching your granddaughter how to crochet. My Mom taught me A LONG time ago, and now that she's no longer with me, I cherish it even more. It's something Shelbie will always cherish too!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies.It was fun to do as a group. Shelbi is a senior this year so we cherish our time with her.:+)
ReplyDeleteTristi, the hat is chain 48, double crochet 24 rows, seam up the side, gather the top with double yarn. secure and that is it. Gather as close to the top as possible for a nicer look.The pattern is my sisters creation when we couldnt find anything else. 24 rows for M, 20 for W and size accordingly for kids and even dolls. We did AG dolls and Barbies for a church bazaar and they sold like hot cakes. Easy Peasy..Thanks again. Stay warm.:+)
CORRECTION....THE HAT IS 1/2 DOUBLE CROCHET, DOUBLE IS TOO LOOSE! SORRY ABOUT THAT.
ReplyDeleteWonderful donation Marjorie, Kari and Shelbie. Also a big welcome to Shelbie! Lots more people will be warmer with that big donation.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marj.. that really does sound easy. Is it done in back loop only? I ask cuz it looks ribbed.
ReplyDeleteBack loop only Tristi. It is just a big rectangle. Measures about 18 inches for men. Have taught a couple of women to do them at my club as they are new crocheters and it is an easy project. Think everyones husband is getting one for christmas.....:+)
