    Up-and-down hat

    2009

    In the spring of 2008 some of my hat patterns were published in Mütsiraamat and now I’ve decided to translate them into English.

    First pattern – Up-and-down hat – is now ready for you.

    Up-and-down hat got its name from the fact that its sides are crocheted in an unconventional way – not in rounds, but back and forth.

    The hat is crocheted from a fine cotton yarn, originally from Coats Eldorado with hook 2 mm, but the yarn is easily substitutable. Making this hat includes a little bit sewing, but really only a little bit :) English version of this hat includes complete written instructions (UK terms) as well as charts. The hat pattern is for three sizes – to fit head circumference 44/48/52 cm. You can trim the hat with ribbon, rosettes or leave it without trims.

    Although I didn’t post here for a long time, I was actually pretty busy this spring. My son is going to school this autumn, so this was the last spring in the kindergarten for him and I made some thank-you-gifts for the teachers.

    Kindergarten teachers got Asti shawls.

    Pattern: my own (published in Käsitöö in spring 2008, will be available in English as soon as possible)

    Material: Aade lõng Artistic and Aade lõng Natural DK

    Needles: 3 mm

    For the music teacher I crocheted a table mat – piano.

    The chess teacher also got a table mat – chessboard, of course.

    The gym teacher got a crocheted ball. On the motifs I embroidered names of all the children in their group.

    Sunshine tote 10

    2009

    Oh boy, it has been quiet here for a long time, hasn’t it?  Now I’m back, hopefully :)

    First I would like to keep a promise given long time ago – Sunshine tote pattern. As this is my first pattern in English, I wanted it to be perfect. It probably isn’t, but I tried :)

    Three years ago we had a bag project – “12 bags” – initialized by Marianne. She suggested that anyone joining this project should make 1 bag every month of the year and each month had a special theme. The theme of July was “Päike ja äike” (Sun and thunder). So, as the first tote I made was yellow like Sun, I named this bag Sunshine tote.

    The first Sunshine tote was crocheted/knitted of stash yarn I had at home. It was probably acrylic. For the last version I used Aade Artistic yarn. To make the tote stronger and denser, I’m going to felt it a bit by washing and rubbing it in hot soapy water. Lining the tote is optional. As I find sewing very difficult, I will leave it without a lining.

    The pattern is availalble as a free Ravelry download. Hope you like it :) If you find an error or in case of any problems or questions, please contact me.
