Bucket hat n Poncho

Bucket hat n Poncho
I’ll start with the bucket hat first. I got it this time! Pattern is from amicomo4-1_Bucket_Hat , posted by Da’Knit. Well, the yarns are Viscose Plus and Degas Cotton from Ice yarns which I bought from  http://yarnsonlineshop.com/ and I used 5mm hook. Pattern is easy but you must know to read chart. I felt the flower was harder to understand.. but eventually I modified the flower.



The poncho… pattern… none.. I didn’t even write it down.. but it is a increase in all the four angle. The collar was mere creation. I just needed it to be smaller to look like a collar and I added some edging. The yarns and hook size is the same as the hat above.



It is set for my ex-roomie! She loves orange.. and I sure do hope she will like this too! http://yarnsonlineshop.com/

Divyesh’ Blankie!



At last I’ve finish making de blanket for my new born nephew! He is so adorable!!! Born on 19th last month, I just saw him last weekend. The blanket is so huge for him though! Haha.. But he will get to use it later once he grown up! My aunty was thrilled with the blanket! She loved it.
                I started crocheting it on Feb this year. It took me this long cause I was doing it when I feel like to! Haha.. what do you expect with such a big project! This is the first time I crocheting anything this big!
Okay, for the details on the blankie- made of Simge from Ice yarns order from http://yarnsonlineshop.com.  Its super soft! Colors- dark blue, light blue n light green.  8 skeins of each, a total of 24 skeins. I used 2 threads together to crochet it to make the blanket thicker. Pattern was from Birdlebee's Granny Ripple by Birdlebee Williams. Easy to make… I change the boarder a bit. I don’t have enough yarns to finish the boarder. So if you are planning to do this pattern with this yarns, piece of advice- at least another 6 skeins more ( if u r using 2 threads together).
