Starry Starry Night...

Pfffff Halloween is hurting my fingers haha I received loads of custom orders for Halloween from all over the world. I have made a couple of Minion Hats and Snail Hats. So I was busy and the one thing I don't like is repeating a pattern over and over again. I have decided that I will do the orders I still have, but I'm not taking any more orders for hats. As I don't have any time left for my designing, pattern writing and other projects. I still have an art project for my living room waiting for me. My down stairs Bathroom is screaming for a toilet roll/magazine/other stuff holder. I have the idea in my head, but need time to explore it.

In between making all these hats the Star Stitch kept screaming in my head to make a hat. But the Star Stitch is mainly used in scarfs, blankets, etc straight projects and not round ones.

I think I started this project at least 8 times to find the perfect increasing Star Stitch.




The hat was made with 3 colors of Drops Nepal. I just love the Drops yarn. I order my yarn at Wollyhood.

I also ordered some Drops Andes in similar colors. And using Hook Needle 8 mm I mad a cowl. Too bad that the naturel color of the cowl is more cream than white. But it's ok for now.

I will post the pattern of the Cowl here as soon as I have written it down!





I also made a little Baby Star Stitch Hat. And a Scarf using DC's and all 3 colors and Hook Needle 19mm.






I will be working on the pattern in the coming days and hopefully it'll be soon available in my shops!
