Crochet UK terms 

I came up with this pattern when I wanted to make a hat for my husband that didn’t look too feminine and wasn’t too plain.  I have since adapted it and changed it to use a whole host of colours depending on what I have in my stash.  This adult hat can be used with your favourite DK yarn or aran yarn and in any two colours that you wish. It  is soft, stretchy and warm.  This hat fits an adult with quite a bit of stretch due to the ribbing. If you want the beanie to be oversized (as some people prefer I would add 4-8 more to the foundation chain and a further 2 rows following the colour pattern.  This is a good pattern for someone who is moving on from being a beginner to gaining some extra techniques making their work more refined.  I’ve also made a Ribbed, Striped Scarf to match so look out for that post if you would like a great, cosy set for the winter.


I prefer having a foundation treble crochet to making a foundation chain for this hat because you can build your first row and connect the ends to then carry on crocheting in the round.

100g ball colour A

100g ball colour B

Hook: Crochet hook 4.5 mm

Ribbed Striped Scarf

Image
Ribbed Striped Scarf To buy an ad free PDF on Ravelry click here I had some left over DK wool after designing my Adult ribbed bobble hat so I thought I would make a scarf to match.  I wanted to have long stripes for easy colour work and to give it a long, flowing feel.  This scarf can be easily adapted to suit you as you can make it as long or short as you wish.  I have just put how many stitches I used but it can easily be shortened to make a great kids scarf or longer if you like to be able to repel down a second story window using it!  The use of the textured ribbing and front and back loop crochet makes it a very soft and squishy scarf.  I haven't made it too wide because I sometimes find very wide scarves too bulky with my fitted jackets.   This is a great project that you can just get going and not think too much about.  It is also good for a beginner who wants to try using more textured stitches in their work and wants a project that they can work up quickly and wear anytime

College Stripe Blanket (US terms) Printable PDF available from Ravelry following this link! <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/purchase/corrie-blackmore-designs/654690">buy now</a> I adore living in the UK but sometimes I get a bit nostalgic for America and this blanket is what I dreamed up as my perfect blanket to take to a Friday night or Saturday afternoon football game.   I chose red, white and blue because it reminds me of Fresno State football games and the massive tailgating parties that I remember from childhood.  Of course, this blanket can be adapted to any school colours.  This time I decided to do a simple college stripe pattern that can be adapted to different school colours and is the correct side to fit a twin bed (that is known as a single in the UK) to adorn my son’s bed. *At the bottom of this pattern I have listed other colour options in Paintbox yarns to support different school teams.   This pattern is suitable for beginners , involves almost no
