Okay, okay, okay...
I promise that this is the LAST purple hat for the week!
I'm loving Crab Stitch edgings at the moment... and French Knots are a perennial favourite of mine...
The pattern used is Urban Appeal by Lisa Gentry. It's from a booklet titled Celebrity Slouchy Beanies for the Family.
This is my THIRD version of the Urban Appeal slouchy beanie… so I was
prepared for the fact that it would be a little on the large side, and
that I would want to add extra increases.
So here’s how I modified the pattern... just in case you ever need to do the same
(PS. I do have a looser than average tension)
Worked pattern instructions for Rnd 1-17
Rnd 18: 2 dc, decrease, * 3 dc, decrease; repeat from * around - 67 dc.
Rnd 19: sc around - 67 sc.
Rnd 20: dc, * 4 dc, decrease; repeat from * around - 56 dc.
Rnds 21-24: as written in pattern
Rnd 25: crab stitch around in contrast colour
And here's a quick peek at the other two projects I made from this pattern:
First one was made back in 2010 using my Crazy Yarn.
And the second one was made earlier this week, using Scouts Australia colours, as a Chemo Cap for the kid's Cub Leader.
