It was recently suggested to me that I join Kristy's Quest, where as many hats as possible were to be knitted and crochetted so that Kristy could take them to orphanages in the Ukraine, where it's extremely cold and the indoor heating is pretty unreliable. The deadline was Sept. 5th, so I've been busy churning out hats like a maniac the last few weeks. I made 9 total.
4 basic crochetted hats (improvised pattern)
3 smaller crochetted hats (bottom center has a lining),an improvised cable hat and an Elizabeth Zimmerman Maltese Hat.
Mini Muffin Hat
...and then I wanted an adult sized one, but a little different, and for self-striping yarn and I came up with:
Rook Hat

2. On my Free Patterns Page
...and finally, of course, I ended up wanting a matching, reversible scarf...
Rook Scarf
There is more knitting and crochetting going on that I can't blog about yet, and one more free pattern coming soon (crochetted newsboy cap)!
