Am crocheting DGS-16 a forest green cap. It's a ribbed vertical pattern. I needed to re-work the pattern. NOW it is:
Using an "H" hook, chain 44, DC in 3rd chain from the hook and across the entire chain, ch-2, turn....
Then, you skip 1st stitch, DC in back look, from 2nd DC to end, chain-2, turn....
Continue until you feel you have a fitting hat... MINE are 34 rows, to fit an adult head nicely, not too snug or tight causing hat head, so with the fold-up-twice-cuff, it's a good, nice, warm style for men and women and teen boys alike. If I HAD a teenage DGD now, it'd look good on her, too....
But I made DGS-23-months 1, and did a chain loop pom-pom. It was in Giggles Bernat yarn and it's off-white and so SOFT. It matches her vest. Oh, what a sweet little outfit it'll be!
Left to do:
green-grey hat for DGS-17.5,
off-white hat for DDIL, to match her DD's hat, in the same color, with a matching loopy fringe pom-pom,
a dark teal blue hat for Dson, will be the last 1, if I have the time.
I have 11 days, counting today, to do 4 hats, if I finish on/by Christmas Eve. I have other things to do, upcoming, too, like an appt., get a license renewed, visit 2 nursing home shut-ins, and deliver gifts/visit 2 places, wrap/label everything, but things are coming together nicely, and DH helps around the house. This man states: "I LIVE HERE, TOO! I'M RETIRED! THERE IS NO REASON WHY I CANNOT HELP YOU, SO I'M HELPING!" Isn't that a "Sweetie"? ♥ So, since I lean on him to help, I can get time to crochet, and do other things needed, during the holidays, to keep from being "overwhelmed" or stressed.
