Cowl Knit Pattern – So comfy and quick

By Yolanda on January 30, 2018 in Knitting, Knitting stitches, Learn to knit 3

A cowl knit pattern was next on my to do list. I have been wanting to try to use the heavier weight yarn that are now so widely available. Thanks to RedHeart Yarn I was gifted this Jumbo weight yarn a while back. I had some left over and wanted to try a comfy cowl.

While attending the SNAP conference in Salt Lake City last year I met the gals from Wool and the Gang. They are so fun and very knowledgeable. They gifted me these beautiful wooden knitting needles. Not only are they beautiful but they are so smooth and made quick work of my knitting. Thanks to RedHeart Yarns and Wool and the Gang.

The measurements of the finished cowl: approximately 30 inches by 9 inches It should fit most adults and teens

An Easy to Crochet Llama Hat

By Yolanda on January 14, 2018 in Crochet Hats, Crochet Projects 2

An easy to crochet Llama hat allows the Llama love continues. I love making fun and cute crochet hats. I wanted to make a Llama hat/beanie to go along with my new found love and appreciation of those fun critters. Llamas provide such beautiful fiber for knitting and crocheting. I wasn’t able to get my hands on any llama fiber to crochet this hat but I did use a natural fiber, wool. This hat is made using Fisherman’s Wool from Lion Brand yarns. The feel is very comfortable and warm. If you’re allergic to wool there are lots of other great yarn options available. For the face, I used Vanna’s Choice yarn.

Originally I sized this hat to fit most women but adjusting the hook size can help with sizing. For example, I originally made the hat using a 5.0mm hook (H hook) but found it to be a bit tight on my head. I think that an H hook would be perfect for children. To adjust for women I suggest using a J hook (6.0mm) and for men a K hook.

I have also made a free YouTube video tutorial for those who are visual learners. You can find the link to that video tutorial on the last page of this post.
