Rainbow Lattice Hat

Katrina commissioned me to make a hat for her rainbow-loving daughter so we searched for patterns, decided on shades of color, and found this free Lattice Hat pattern that fit the bill! I practiced with a different skein of yarn since there were some new-to-me stitches and got to work! It took about 3 hours or so. And the most important part....she loves it!

It's a great pattern once you figure out how the author intended how the rows should start and end. She has designed it so one can hardly tell where the rows begin and end! Oh, the hat pattern is for an adult. To make it child size just start with 8 dc in the ring instead of 9!

Purple Bowl

I brought the small purple bowl to my mom and the instant she saw it, without knowing it was for her, she focused in on it "ooooh, what's this?" she said with a hopeful look on her face. She loved it. I knew she would!
