I'm trying to pull together a collection of patterns and have given myself 3 weeks, it's the push I've needed (what with having a making space) to finally get on with making some new patterns and improving some old ones. I'll be typing them up asap and getting them on here for people to work out the kinks. For now here's the pieces for a rocket applique that just needs to be photographed and go together to be finished.
We have been transient for such a long time now it just feels normal. We haven't lived in our house for nearly a year and trying to make a space to make has been really hard. At the moment we're in the anaglyptic wonderland of my nan-in-law while the last throes of renovation happen, and I've finally been able to dedicate a little space to make.
Free Giant Pom Pom Hat Pattern
This does assume a
knowledge of how to crochet (and make giant pom poms)
You will need:
3 balls chunky yarn
10mm crochet hook
Abbreviations:
mr – magic ring
dc – double crochet
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
Use 2 strands of yarn at the same time and crochet as though
they were one.
1. mr with double crochets x 12 (if this sounds too
complicated, you can mr with 6 sc, then ch2 and dcx2 in each stitch around, but
it really isn’t that hard)
2. dc x 2 in each stitch
3. ch 2, dc then dcx2 in the next stitch, repeat
4-9. ch 2, dc in each stitch, sl st
To make ear flaps:
10. ch2, dc in next 6 stitches, ch 2 turn, dc in next 4 st
and sl st, cut yarn with enough to weave in eneds
11. On opposite side of hat (approx 8 stitches round from
end of last flap) repeat step 10 but don’t cut yarn
12. sl st through each stitch all the way around the edge of
the hat until you get to the ear flap, sl st approx 4 st through edge of flap
until you get to the 2nd crochet of the 4 crochet flat edge
13. ch 60 and dc all the way back up the chain until you
reach the flap again, sl st
14. carry on sl st all the way around the rest of the edge
of hat until you get back to the
first ear flap and repeat
