Stitch Whimsy

My latest projects. The mittens are up for sale right now. The hat that I made with the same color as the mittens is being sold, too. They are in a set on my etsy shop.

The little rose hat I have here is up for sale, but I didn’t put it in the shop yet. I don’t really know if I want to keep that for Christmas time or just sell this one and make another one. If anyone is interested in this one, let me know. It will fit a child around one to three years, I would fathom. IT does stretch, even though it looks pretty conical.

This is the side view of a hat made for a child. Their head would have to be between 11 and 13 inches in circumference to fit this hat. It does stretch a good deal, though.

I plan to make mittens and maybe a scarf with the same colors. I love that charcoal gray. It offsets bright colors very well. I definitely have to get back to the store and buy more before it disappears like the royal blue did. Hopefully, since it’s a fall type of color, it is here to stay.

I made these for my cousin’s son. He is turning a year old and we are invited to his birthday party. I might try to whip up a little scarf to go with this, but right now the hat with a little brim and the mittens are all I have for this set. I hope they fit. I used my own son’s hand as testing templates.

I made the mitts a bit smaller than his hands. I made the mitts with a 0 boye metal needle that I got from the Ebay seller. It works great. I am just wishing for a size G aluminum right now, though. I hope to find one at our Walmart. Hopefully, they will have the full aluminum set for less than $15.

By the way, everything I crochet is freeform, so far.
