Project Log 2

PROJECT NAME: Hat with Pigtails

SOURCE: Various Patterns and trial and error

YARN: Patons Canadiana 100% Acrylic Ombre Bright Rainbow Colors

HOOK SIZE: G

DATE STARTED: 3/4/2008

DATE FINISHED: 3/6/2008

GENERAL NOTES: This yarn was also in a bag from the Forest Grove Goodwill. Originally I was going to make the hat the same as the Blue Hat in Project Log 1, but I woke up the next morning when it was nearly done and went AHA it needs Pigtails. I couldn't find my Cool Crochet Hats book to look up how to do the ear flaps and I was in too big of a hurry to see how it was going to turn out (patience and housekeeping not my strong points).

Project Log 1

PROJECT NAME: Hat

SOURCE: Part from Cool Crochet Hats by Linda Kopp and part Lily Sugar and Spice Cool Cap a free flyer I picked up at Pacific Fabrics

YARN: Sirdar Kool Kidz Chunky 100 g (I think it's English). It is light blue with pink, yellow and blue thread wound on the yarn with occasional chunks of it. 93% Acrylic 7% Polyester

HOOK SIZE: G

DATE STARTED: 3/1/2008

DATE FINISHED: 3/2/2008

NOTES: This Yarn was in a bag of yarn purchased at the Goodwill in Forest Grove Oregon, the bag was $4.99. The sticker on the skein said $9.95, looked like an unused skein.

The basic pattern I've been using is the Watchcap from the Cool Crochet Hats. Though I used single crochet and no ribbing. The pattern from Lily after a few rounds only increases every other round until the crown is finished. It gives a less abrupt downward slope.
