Two Hats and a Scarf

Emma's Ravenclaw scarf.


Emma's hat to match her Ravenclaw scarf.





Palindrome Hat
I have been knitting and forgetting to post as I go. I made Emma's scarf using the same pattern as Libbys Gyrffindor scarf that I posted previously. The hat pattern that I used was from a beautiful book I checked out from the library and have since returned, so I do not recall the name. I will have to check it out again and then I will post it. The book has many patterns that I would love to try and knit.

The other hat is the palindrome hat to match the scarf I made a few years ago. It is a hat done in a knit 2, purl 2 pattern with cables. The brim came out shorter than I would of liked. I think I must of measure the length wrong. I still have one more ball of the yarn left, so I might make another. I am currently working on arm warmers for Pat when he is out cycling. It is my first attempt at modifying a pattern. Scary!
