Simply Beanie

Hey, look! A pattern! While i have been trying to remember how i made a couple knitted hats, i crocheted a totally different one :)
i found my app called Catch really helpful with note taking so i could remember all the steps i took to make my hat... i used to only use it to make lists of books, yeah i'm a monster of boring.

it's a really easy hat that only uses CH, SC (and sl st to join, but if you like to do the spiral thingie with no joins then hardly even that i guess). i made it using Red Heart Shimmer, which is kinda thin, it's labeled as medium weight yarn but it's skinnier than my other medium stuff.. please crochet LOOSELY if you use the same yarn to make this hat or it will be TIGHT
i used a G hook, if you have a tight tension use a bigger hook

Materials:
1 skein Red Heart Shimmer (or other med yarn)

Size G hook (US)

Scissors

Pattern:

CH 4, join with SL ST to form ring

1. CH 1, make 12 SC in ring, join with SL ST to top of first SC

2. CH 1, make 2 SC in each SC around, join with SL ST to top of first SC in round

Wow i have really got to stop abandoning my internets :P sorry about that.
For a while i've just been off in insane-o-land... busy? Not really "busy" but eh, "preoccupied".. unoccupied too, for 3 months. (had to get a new job)
Since my last post i've gotten a new job, graduated fake college (with honors), and gotten real married. i've still been yeening but i haven't been patterning :( but i have determined to put up pictures of what i've made so far at least. one of these days i'll get this blogging thing right and i'll do it consistently. yep. here is a public link to my recent projects (facebook link) and here is a pic of me and my husband :D after we got married and went to go eat... we were both blind from flashes on cameras

Love, Mari
