This is a gift for Fernando. He doesn't have it yet, but I don't think he read me blog. I'd better send it soon, with all the frigid weather!
This was from a bag of alpaca yarn, 6 balls for 3$ minus my discount. Didn't know what I was going to do, but i loved the color.
The hat's a but conical--I was playing with the sizing as I went. I found a math calculation for figuring out how wide to make your beanie hat, but mistrusted it. Shouldn't have! I think it was right, after all.
But at least it can be pulled real low.
On the back I made a puffy kitty. Fernando wears a llama eared hat, so I think he'll wear it. But he can just wear indoors too, to keep his bald headwarm. I made this bit at the back that goes low to warm the neck.
The scarf was easy--half double crochet, crocheting into thr back stitch onlyto create the ribs.
And I improvised my own ear warmer bits.
The scarf is thin, but floor length, to give you that Dickensian feel!
