What’s his is mine beanie
Hubby wanted me to crochet him a new beanie for the cold Melbourne winter that is coming up, in a fairly firm fabric – “not with many holes in it please”. So I went to my stash of Jet and a pattern from “Stitch ‘N Bitch: The Happy Hooker” and created a beanie.
Jet is such a lovely yarn to work with! It’s all in single crochet (US terminology being used here) which meant that although it took a while to crochet, the fabric is nice and firm and has this terrific texture. I love the variations in colour and tone.
The only problem? It fits me, not hubby. Whoops. Remind me to check when I’m substituting yarn that I’m using the correct hook size to get gauge. Lucky for me, I have plenty more in the stash – and I promise that I’ll use a bigger hook next time.
LOVE IT!! Gorgeous colours in that yarn, and I like the density of the crochet.
That yarn is gorgeous and what a marvellous ruse for you to get a new hat. LOL
the hat looks great ! awwwwwww too bad for hubby! +
I don’t know….lol…..those colours look more for you rather than your husband. Are you sure you got the gauge size wrong, vbg.

I love that yarn I have some of it in my stash too… I love the way it has come together in this beanie, well done!!
Nice to meet you last night Lara & the hat looks great!
I’m a Jet-a-holic too . . . wish it was just a little cheaper though, but it does work up fast 🙂
