Pattern: Coldharbour Twist by Woollywormhead
Yarn/needles: Sublime Organic Cotton DK. Approx 75 g used (180 yds). 4.5 mm circular, used Magic-loop style.
- Made for my mum who doesn’t like hats “with holes in” because “isn’t a hat for keeping you warm?”.
- She also has a head of curly hair so the beret shape is perfect for avoiding helmet-hair.
- Lovely pattern as you would expect from Woollywormhead and I was pleasantly surprised by how the yarn worked up with the texture.
Bonus FO:
Using the remnants of the hat yarn I made myself a cute little crocheted washcloth
Pattern: Lady Marmalade by Shirley MacDonald.
Really fun pattern and works up very fast.
Knew I was running out of yarn fast and so worked the bottom ruffle in a series of trebles (US doubles) instead of as prescribed in the pattern.
Great way of trying new stitches and techniques in a small project.
Both are cute. I love the doll.

Lol! That’s Harry. My grandfather got him for me when I was very young. Luckily his head is the same size as mine and my mum’s so he makes for a very helpful stand-in!

Very cute hat, but the doll hair freaked me out until I saw it was actually a doll.
