I crocheted a scarf for Eliot last spring, after scarf season was really over. I had just learned to crochet so my stitches were pretty tight. This fall Eliot asked for a hat to go with it. The hat pattern I used called for bulky yarn and I did his scarf in a baby weight, so I had to make some adjustments. I started out with a chunky brown yarn and used two stands of the green and light blue for the hat. I also went back and added a brown border around the edge of the scarf.
He likes them, they fit, and they keep him warm at the bus stop in the mornings. Mission accomplished. And bonus - he hasn't lost them yet.
Happy Saturday!
