QUEEN OF SCARVES?

by

I found this nifty little blog when I was looking for help with the pattern for the Queen Anne’s Lace Scarf.

QUEEN ANNE'S LACE SCARF

I was very happy with the tutorial for this scarf, so I began to surf through the rest of the blog.  Lucky me!  I found not one, but TWO more scarf patterns to add to my WIM list.

First is this pretty, and unusual, Bean Blossom Scarf.

I like the color, the pattern, and even the presentation, displaying this scarf on the pretty red vase.

Then, I found this lovely Primrose Path scarf, another goodie.

Do yourself a favor and check out these patterns.  They are just right for Spring.  A lucky find for me!

  2. Wow! Thanks for the great shout-out! Someone mentioned it in a blog comment, and I just about fell over. As a new blogger I’m thrilled when anyone responds to my work. Thanks so much. You’ve made my day!

  5. You can find the first scarve too at the
    La boutique dell’uncinetto. She has an easier explication

  6. I always thought scarves were for people. But now seeing them on pottery, I stand corrected.

    I wonder how long it would take to knit one of these pieces.

Colorful Maker Hat Crochet Pattern Review

If you are in the mood for a quick crochet hat with a lot of personality, the Colorful Maker Hat from Lion Brand is a fun one to look at. It is described as a cozy statement piece with a bold colourful design, and Lion Brand says it is suitable for makers of all abilities thanks to the easy-to-follow pattern and included colour chart.

This pattern is rated Level 2 Easy (Beginner+), so it feels like a nice choice for confident beginners who are ready to try simple colour changes without diving into anything too fussy. Lion Brand also notes that it is made with super bulky Hometown yarn, which means it should work up fast and give you that lovely chunky finish that always feels extra cozy in cooler weather.

I think that is probably the biggest selling point here. This looks like the kind of project you can actually finish in a short burst of crochet time, and we all know those are the projects that save us when the yarn basket is already overflowing with half-started “I’ll get back to it” plans. Lion Brand says the hat can be finished in just a few hours, which makes it a nice option for gift-making too.

The finished hat measures about 20 inches in circumference and 12 inches high, so it looks like a comfortable, slouchy winter accessory rather than a tiny fitted beanie. The gauge is listed as 7 single crochet and 9 rows over 4 inches, which also gives you a good idea of how quickly this chunky yarn project should move along.

What I like most is that it feels cheerful without being overcomplicated. The colourwork gives it that handmade “look what I made” energy, but the pattern still sounds approachable. If you love easy crochet accessories with a bold finish, this one feels like a good pick. Lion Brand even suggests pairing it with the Maker Legwarmers if you want a matching set.

My overall take? This is a cute, practical pattern for anyone who enjoys easy crochet hat patterns, quick super bulky crochet projects, or colourful accessories that stand out a bit from the usual winter basics. It looks beginner-friendly, fast, and fun, which is a pretty nice combination in my book. That last bit is my opinion based on the pattern details provided by Lion Brand.
