Tipsy Lemon Stitch Baby Hat


This newborn baby hat is part of my donation to a friend’s charity collection, and is inspired by Shelli, my crochet and blog mentor.  If you wish to make this larger for a 0-3 month old, use a 5.5mm hook. For instructions on how to complete the Tipsy Lemon stitch, please see the tutorial on my blog, by clicking or copying this link:

You will need

Approximately 1 1/4 oz of #4 yarn (65 yd)

5.0 mm hook

Yarn needle

Scissors


Finished size

5.5” diameter, by 5.5” high.


Abbreviations

Ch Chain

St Stitch

SC Single crochet

HDC Half double crochet

HBDC Herringbone double crochet

Sl St. Slip stitch


Notes

  • This hat is worked from top down.

  • Single chain at beginning of each round is not included in stitch count.

  • You will be working into the slip stitch in each row so be sure to keep it even in size to other stitches.

  • The tipsy lemon stitch has the advantage of hiding the slip stitch join and SC into next round well into the fabric of the work.

Cheshire Cat Pocket Wrap

Image
     The name for this pocket wrap comes at the suggestion of Heather, a crafting friend, who said the colours reminded her of the Cheshire Cat.  As for the design, I love making scarves lengthwise and exploring the different texture options that result.  But I always struggle with getting pockets to sit right, so I thought, why not try to build the pockets into the design as much as possible?  That cut down my stitching and it seems to make the pockets sit nicely as well. You will need Approximately 23 oz of #6 super chunky yarn (700 yds).  I used about 2 ⅓ of the Caron Chunky Cakes (Elderberry Jelly). 8 mm crochet hook Yarn needle Stitch markers Scissors Finished size Approximately 15×66". Gauge  Not critical for this project.  Adjust foundation chain in 2+1 pattern as needed for desired size.
