Hat #23
Pattern: Mondo Cable Cap by Bonne Marie Burns Yarn: Dark Horse Yarns Fantasy
Yes, I made this pattern again by special request. It’s a gift for my mom’s friend, whose birthday is Valentine’s Day. The yarn is acrylic, but it’s a very nice acrylic. Soft enough for a sweater, IMO.
Here it is being blocked on a plate.

Hat #21
Pattern: Rain Down by Robyn Devine Yarn: Caron One Pound
This was made from the same yarn as a recently completed crocheted afghan project. (Note the Minnesota colors - both projects were for Golden Gopher friends of my daughter.) I probably could have cast on fewer stitches with a larger needle - I forgot how acrylic knits up!
Another view and from the top. And here is the afghan.

Pattern: Felted Bucket Hat by Bonne Marie Burns Yarn: Cascade 220
And it’s finished! Amazing what a difference a bit of felting can make. Fun fact: I crouched on the front porch wearing my pajamas in zero-degree weather to take this picture.

The big giant unfelted version is always a funny thing. Finished picture coming soon.
