Project Update

I finished a thing! Yes, I actually completed the very large hooded vest. I have a lot of ideas about how to do it slightly differently next time but it is so satisfying to complete a project. I also made a couple hats. Go me!

The Hooded Vest

The Hats

The Bavarian Stitch Beanie by Erangi Udeshika

Free pattern can be found at the Crochet for You Blog.

This pattern works up so quickly but still looks intricate and has a great texture. This is a hat I could easily see myself making more of.

Chain Link Slouch Crochet Pattern by Jennifer Dougherty

This pattern is for sale on Ravelry here.

This pattern is definitely for the more advanced crocheter. The pattern calls for bulky weight yarn but I chose to use some scrap worsted weight in colors I love. I used the recommended hooks and made the “small adult” version and the hat came out HUGE! So my recommendation is to use worsted weight yarn rather than bulky and wither make a sizes smaller or down size the hooks. If I make this hat again I will update which method I used and see if that makes a hat that fits better.

That’s it for this week, nice to have some “done” things to show off!
