Accidentally Mobius Cowl

I made this cowl from this Accidental Cowl pattern. However, when I first started the cowl I accidentally started it as a mobius cowl. The pattern turned out to be aptly named! Regardless, I like this pattern. It was simple and really let the gorgeous yarn take center stage. I used bulky Loops & Threads Charisma yarn that I found on sale at AC Moore. I also used an N hook and initially chained 88.

Baby Comfort Blanket

I used Red Heart's Baby Comfort Blanket pattern and a J hook to make this blanket. I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn! to make it. I ran out of yarn, so I ended the pattern early, making the border ruffle simpler. I really liked this pattern! The alternating stitches kept the pattern from being boring. My camera doesn't capture color well; the blanket is actually more blue/green.



Time on this project: 9 hours, 10 minutes
Time total: 96 hours, 50 minutes

Alewife Hat

To make this hat, I used the Alewife Hat pattern from Ravelry, Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice yarn, and an H hook. I really like the main stitch used in this pattern - front post double crochet. It adds a lot of texture to the hat. The only modification I made to the original pattern is that I ended it early and it's not a slouch hat.
