Mittens and hats

Two sets of mittens with matching hats. They are for size 2 - 3. The mittens and knitted and the hats are crocheted. The variegated set is done with "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby. The striped set is with leftover bits of other yarn. I'm pretty sure the lavender at the tips is Simply Soft but I h ave no idea what the rest of it is. All I know is that it is acrylic.

These hats and mittens are to be donated. The red and white hat, the red and black hat, and the pink striped earflap hat are all crocheted but the other two hats and all of the mittens are all knitted. Making stripes is a good way to use up leftover balls of yarn.

Knitted scarves


Here are 2 scarves I made. The first one with the horizontal stripes I just finished last night. It is knitted with Fantasy Naturale Yarn which is 100% cotton. It is to be donated to the Knitz 4 Vetz sponsored by The Knit With store in Pennsylvania. The second scarf is knitted using the mistake rib pattern. I believe I used mostly Vanna's Choice Yarn and Michael's Impeccable Yarn. One reason for this scarf is to use up leftover bits of yarn and the other reason for making this scarf is because I thought it would look nice.
