Alvina – Freeform Felted Beanie

Alvina – (a friend to all) is my newest addition to my Esty shop ~ I love this little hat it reminds of the jazzy little numbers those cheeky ladies in the 20’s wore

& is certainly a beanie with a difference – the crown was crocheted then felted & the band crocheted directly onto the crown. A coronet of Freeform crochet encircles the head & the hand-sewn glass-beaded tassels give this unique beanie a subtle look of style & pizazz

Size: 25.5cm (10”) high – Head Circumference: average – 56cm + (22”+)

3 step Summer Shrug

 

This little number is the easiest garment you’ll ever make – it is worked by size not number of stitches & as with all my recent patterns I like to think that even the most basic beginner will be able to have a go & make something other than a crochet square

The pattern is in both UK & US terminology with stitch drawings & diagrams & because it’s such an easy pattern to read, it will help the beginner gain confidence reading & understanding other patterns – for the more experienced it’s a quick garment to knock over in a few hours
3 Step Summer Shrug  is for sale in my online shop
I just know you’ll love this pattern & use it over & over again… Renate
