Head Cover

(Pardon my frown, I am squinting at the camera's view finder!)

I designed myself a head cover, and my friends love it! Can you see the Star of David on the brim?
It is essentially a snood or slouch hat, made with the mathematics of this pattern, with ties that are a part of the brim that tighten the cap just the way you want made with this technique . I am having difficulty writing out the pattern though. I have the techniques down, I have made 2 of these. but the wording isn't coming to me.  I may have to break down and chart this one. So for now, look and admire :o)

If you REALLY really want one, go to my Etsy and click Request a custom order. (I have two on order already!)

Magic Kniting Tote?

I think my old/new project tote is magical, everything I set in there gets finished! The sweater from my previous post was in it and I finished in a week, and this crochet hat pattern was carried in it and it's finished too! I have a sweater half done for DD that I keep procrastinating about, I think it belongs in the magic tote next! This hat was made of Lambs Pride wool ,Strawberry Smoothie. (A RAK gift from a Ravelry friend) I'm not usually a huge fan of variegated yarn, but this skein was gorgeous! The hat is from the pattern Jayde Hat, and I added a scallop to the brim at the request of my daughter. I love it!
