Charity Makes
It's been a few weeks since I last posted as I have been struggling with health which in turn has taken an affect on my ability to think of what to make next. A friend of mine recently pointed me in the direction of a local charity that was crying out for some handmade knitted/crochet items. So I picked up my needles and hook and got to work. The local charity put out an appeal for tiny baby items. I have a very basic knitting pattern for hats so that's what I started with. Once I had knitted one hat, I measured it so I could then adapt the pattern for crochet. Knitting: Using DK yarn, 4mm needles - cast on 30 stitches and garter stitch knit for 94 rows. Crochet: Using DK yarn, 3.5mm hook - chain 5.5 inches and double crochet for 9 inches Both are finished in the same way - leave a long tail when finishing to sew up the seam to make a tube and then 'cinch' the top of the tube and pull the yarn tight. Fasten off and turn right way around....
