Linda's Cuffed Earflap Knit Hat and Crocheted Scarf

This set is pretty simple and took about a day to complete, start to finish, probably because I cheated and crocheted the scarf.

The hat is a simple 2x2 rib, long enough for a cuff, and I stopped with a lot of stitches to give more fullness in the top and did not require dpns. I knit the two earflaps in moss stitch first, then when once I got to the row where I wanted to add the earflaps, I just knit/purled the earflap stitches together with the hat stitches. I finished the hat with two braided ties and a large pom.

The scarf is long and was done with a sc, ch-1 repeat across, with the next row of sc going in the ch-1 spaces. Very simple and fast and looks great in this awesome varigated yarn.

Linda's Vari-striped Baby bBlanket

This blanket was crocheted using the green-blue varicolored Bernat baby yarn. I made each row long enough so that the color change naturally caused vertical striping.

Materials

3 skeins Bernat Baby Coordinates green - blue varigated

Linda's Diagonal Striped Baby Blanket

As baby blankets go, this was pretty fast and very easy. It starts with a ch-3 circle, and increases one stitch on each end every row, with a ch-3 loop to the next row. Once the blanket is half the desired size, decrease one stitch on each end every row with a ch-2 loop to the next row. I finished it with a single-crochet border.

Some of this yarn was graciously donated to the cause via the Yarn Shop in Overland Park, and I got a bit more of the same yarn at Micheals.
