Two beanies


I've now finished all the knitting chapters in Golden Hands book 1!   Winter has really hit, and I am in such a knitting mood, so I've gone onto the Basic Wardrobe chapters.  These chapters contain patterns for wardrobe items, and I gather that they are included for those people who are experienced knitters and crocheters. (Not sure is "crocheters" is a word!).

So the first Basic Wardrobe chapter has patterns for 2 hats - knitted and crocheted:


Natty, aren't they?

I made the knitted hat in the same green wool that I made the scarf with, and I did the crochet one in 8 ply cream yarn left over from my knitted samples, but I omitted the flower.  Both worked up quickly and easily - the knitted beanie on four needles was easier than I had expected, and the shell pattern in the crochet one was very pretty.  They fit me fairly well, I'm not sure if I will ever wear them, maybe to a night footy game?

My effort:
