I fell in love with this convertible hat/cowl pattern by April Draven. The pattern called for bead at the ends but I made pom poms because I have never made them. Oh how I love making pom poms....I could make them all day long.
Is that red heart yarn or simply soft? I have a DkBrown coat, I know I am going to use red heart in chocolate brown but have no clue on a secondary color.
Question. Does the cowl tickle your nose? It looks like a cozy spot for a nose but I didn't know if it tickled.
I absolutely love love love that hat. It looks really good on you! If I had long hair then I would be paying you to make me one. Unfortunately my wanna be ponytail would look absolutely ridiculous poking out of it. Also, you have bangs so that really makes it cute on you too. The colors are great too.
Hi...I'm hoping you still check your blog and will see this post. You said you used the wool-ease thick & quick for this hat/cowl. Do you recall what hook size you used & also how many you did for the starting chain? Hope to see a reply soon =)
I Love making that hat, I am going to make another one.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you chose :)

I like it! Really cool.. you'll have to teach me how you make a pom pom. I must be doing it the hard way because it's not fun.
ReplyDeleteRenee', I used Wool Ease Thick & Quick. I live in Chicago and it's so cold so I needed something thick :)

You MADE the pom poms? Cool. :)

I did make the pom poms...I'll teach you girls when I go home. It takes 30 seconds, they are ridiculously easy (which is why they are so fun).
