Hello Blogland. Today I am sharing with you the first in a series of crafts called " Hats for the Grandkids". I have had this yarn for a bit since learning that one of my granddaughter's favorite dolls is Strawberry Shortcake. Since the doll has been given a makeover, her style has changed for the better. Here is the newest Strawberry Shortcake with her updated hat:
Now to wow & amaze you, a photo of the hat I made for my granddaughter:
Now for a close up shot:
All I have left to do is sew some red beads onto the pink portion of the hat for the little seedy type things. I did not have a pattern for this & just made it up as I went along. I think it turned out pretty good considering I winged it.
I guess I will have to go over the hat & write down what I did in making it. (stitches, rows...etc.) I should have written it down as I went but that would have been too easy!
I plan on making a scarf to go along with this & then onto hats & scarves for my three grandsons.
Stay tuned for those!
Don't forget to leave a comment. I love hearing from cool folks like yourself.
