Blankets and Hats!


Here are some new projects to write about! First, we have a blanket that I made using a label pattern from "Lion Brand", called Jonah's Baby Throw. I used this pattern on Wyatt's blanket, I really enjoy using a new technique on my blanket. They call this an endless granny square. The blanket is for "Project Linus".
   I used a few types of yarn for this. "Lion Brand", "Red Heart" and "Caron". I think they blend very well together. Behind that blanket on the bed, is the blanket Aunt Lois made for me. She makes the greatest stuff.
  The second item is a hat for Wyatt. Project Linus also makes baby hats. I figured that hospitals are cold and he could use a hat! Even though there are a million hats in the state that he lives in, I wanted to give him one that was made special for him, with all the love and prayers sewed into it.
  I found the pattern on the internet and will post the pattern here, credit where credit is due. I only modified it just a little. I must have been doing the brim wrong, was looking very girly! Won't have any girly hats for Wyatt, so I took it off and continued in pattern.
  This hat incorporated a new stitch for me, the back post double crochet (Bpdc) which was a little hard to learn, but possible, makes a nice textured look to it. The hat was made with "Caron" yarn.
And by the way, Wyatt has been home for a few days!! Yes!
