Adrienne's Crocheted Scarf and Hat Set

Project Details

Adrienne request that I crochet scarf  to kept her neck warm. I felt she also needed a hat. Please find below my first craft project for 2012.

Hat
Pattern: Beginner‘s Beanie, Lion Brand Yarns, Free Pattern
Yarn: Lion Brand Homespun: 1 Ball, Montana Sky 790-368
Hook: Size N-13 (9 mm)
Pattern Sizing: One Size: Finished circumference about 20 inches will stretch to fit a range of sizes.

The hat is crocheted in the round from the top down to the brim using the single crochet stitch. This is a good beginner pattern for practicing crochet in the round and basic increases. The hat also features a cute pom-pom. To make the pom-pom, I cut a piece of cardboard into a  3inch by 3 inch square. I wrapped the square until yarn depth was ½ inch thick. I carefully removed the yarn from cardboard. I tied a 18 inch length of yarn around my yarn. I then cut the end loops, trimmed the pom-pom to desired roundness and attached to top of hat.

Scarf

The scarf is crocheted in rows using the single crochet stitch. This is truly a beginner’s pattern. I actually used this pattern to crochet my first scarf many years ago. To this scarf I added a simple border crocheted using two rounds in the single crochet stitch.


Conclusion
A cute and simple scarf and hat set to keep the lovely Adrienne warm.
