The knitty fall issue is up! And it’s all sweaters. I think I may need to make this blackberry sweater…if I can find a similar yarn that’s not $13/skein!

This is pretty cool. I might have to try my hand at making one.

chunky crochet hat
This hat is very cool. But the Rowan Big Wool yarn they use is like $14 a skein. Ouch! They did a nice job adapting that pattern from the Anthropologie version.

Maybe one day I’ll make it.

I’m thinking of making this for a gift for my sister’s wedding. I have some purple beads that will go with her dress.

crochet crown headband
I used 2 strands of Lion Brand Baby Soft (which is medium sportweight) held together. I don’t recall what hook size.
headband
Start off with a chain in a multiple of 10 or 12 (12 for higher crown peaks) that fits around the head. Join (make sure its not twisted). Ch 1. SC in each stitch. Join. Keep doing these rows until it’s the right height.
ear flaps
determine width (x)and placement for earflaps. (for mine it was 20 st). Do X sc into bottom of headband. *Ch 1 and turn. Do X-1 sc. (basically you are not going to do a sc into the ch 1 of the previous row)* Do this until the earflap is the desired length. In the bottom row you might want to skip a sc or 2 to get more taper.
repeat on other side.
crown
starting in the back of the head. *sc, hdc, dc, tr, dtr, ttr, dtr, tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl* repeat around. If you used a multiple of 10 for the headband then it’s *sc, hdc, dc, tr, dtr, tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl*.
finishing
I did a bit of finishing to make it look nicer. I slipstitched around the whole bottom of the hat. I ch1 around the bottom of the earflap to give myself somewhere to tie the braids to. Then I used a smaller hook and 1 strand and single crocheted along the top of the crown to give it more stiffness. I did 2 sc in each stitch except for the top of the point where I did 2 sc, ch1 in one stitch and then 3sc in the other - this was my attempt to make it more pointy at the top. You can probably fiddle around and see what works best for you. Then I wove in my end and tied on my braids. And voila.
Sorry..I know that is messy but I haven’t totally worked the pattern out yet. Let me know if it doesn’t make sense to you.

daisy end scarf
As Sandy requested I wrote up the pattern for the pink flower end scarf. This is my first attempt at a pattern so forgive me if it doesn’t work exactly. The tricky part is attaching the flower motifs to the ends, so if my method doesn’t make sense work out your own.
Make 2 daisy squares.
1. ch 5. sl into first chain.
2. 12 sc into ring, 1 sl into first sc of round
3. [11 ch, 1sl in next sc] 12 times
4. 1 sl in each of first 6 ch of loop (to bring you up to the top of the petal). 4 ch, 1 sc in 6th ch of next loop, 4 ch [3 DCTOG, 4ch, 3DCTOG] in next loop, * 4ch, [1SC in 6th ch of next loop, 4 ch] twice, [3 DCTOG, 4 ch, 3 DCTOG] in next loop, repeat from * twice more, 4 ch, 1 sc in same place at 6th sl at beginning of round.
For scarf
1. DC into corner of square. * ch 2, dc in chain between petals * 3 times more. ch 2, dc into corner (there will be 2 dc in the corner)
2. ch 4, turn. DC into space between 1st and 2nd dc below. * ch 2, DC into space * 3 times more. ch 1 dc into space between last 2 dc.
3. ch 5, turn. DC into 2nd space * ch 2, DC into space* repeat 4 more times.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until desired length. (end with step 2)
to attach daisy square to end
1. DC into corner. *2 sl, DC into space between petals * repeat 3 more times. 2 sl, DC into corner.
to scallop the edges
1. sl into daisy square corner.
2. (in the first block of the scarf (not square) *5 hdc, sc into next row* repeat until end. SL into corner of square.
