I’ve been working on a big project with granny squares lately, but needed to branch out to do something different. You can only do so many squares before going crazy. lol With the cold weather coming in, I looked into some options to keep warm.
First I tried the basic hat. The first one was a big too snug (I guess I really DO have a big head), but I quickly figured out how to make it bigger, and that did the trick.
But the truth of the matter is that I don’t really care for hats (for myself). I get TOO hot with something fully covering my head, so I found a great pattern for a headband/ear warmer. Needless to say, after getting the sizing right for my aforementioned big head, I LOVE them! I see myself making them in all different colors.
It’s nice to be finally breaking away from the basic scarf, or granny square, to learn something a little bit different.
