#needleworkmonday :: Just starting to crochet a hat 😁
Hewooooo there!
How are you doing there? It is Monday again and it is time for #NeedleworkMonday!! A beautiful 🌷community started and hosted by @crosheille 💗 and co-hosted by @crystalize 💗!
So, while @crosheile completed a very beautiful hat (and she completed it in 4 hours, in the car, on the go, while chatting!!!), I am just starting one 😁.
I am following this Ski Lodge pattern from Expression Fiber Arts. I like the style and I think it is pretty. If you like it too, grab it while it is still free! The prices for the free patterns might change in time but sometimes it remains as free.
Back to my work, when I say, I am just starting, I meant I am just starting 😅:
It starts with a magic circle and HDCs, the stitch I like most for crochet 😊. And magic circles are so cool. It closes the center very nicely and tightly. Have you tried it before? It does take a few tries to do it properly. So far, I think am moving along the pattern quite okayly 🙃.
Lets see how long will I take to do this 😄.
Thank you 💕@crosheille and @needleworkmonday💕 for always being there for us in our needlework endeavours 😘.
Oooooh 🤩 I love this one! It’s very sophisticated as @cryptocariad mentioned and lovely too! Thanks for the link, I took advantage and downloaded it too! I appreciate the compliment on my hat. It sure made the day go by a lot faster (which I didn’t want lol) but I’m glad I got it done.
Hdc’s are my favorite stitch too and I love the magic circle!!!! 😃
Looking forward to seeing yours sprout up! I like the blueish silvertone you chose! I love keeping up with all of your projects!!! It’s always so inspiring and motivating! 😘
Yay! Its all about sharing the 💕💕💕 hehe. The website has a number of free patterns too which you can download. And now that you have registered, almost every week, Chandi, the founder, will release a free new pattern which we can download for free within the week before she up the price.
Oh yay! Go Hdc and magic circle! 😍
Oh I sure hope it sprouts up haha. Thank you @crosheille for your kind and encouraging words 😊. Love ya!😘
Ooooh more free patterns?!! Nice!!! Sharing is Caring!! 😄
Absolutely! It’s always a pleasure visiting and chatting with you~ Love ya too 💗
Thank you for the pattern link! So beautiful yarn on the website. And I love the knitted cardigan which pops up on the first site.
Here is such a hat-weather, windy rainy and dark (ah yes and I am whiny and ill .... wääähhh)
Your magic circle looks very neat. I also use it for hats, but I always forget how it is done :-D And very often I pull on the wrong yarn end and wonder why it does not work....
And yes, hdc are the best (do you know third loop hdc?) I think i have written with @muscara about this technique
That's really interesting, @neumannsalva... I know that stitch by a different name, ie 'camel stitch'. I made a hat using it and it looked so neat, but I preferred the wrong side :D

That's the link if you're interested.
Never heard that name :-DDD and yes I looked at your hat, and the other side is also very cool <3
Yes yes, do sign up at her website because gives free patterns (usually alternate between crochet and knitting) for a week to website members almost every Fridays. I bought some of her yarns because I love her concept and I got suckered into it. Burnt many holes in my pocket haha. Her yarns are very soft and squishyyy!! I likeeee!😍😍😍
Oo interesting, I have not heard of it before... It gives it like a ribbing texture, doesn't it? It looks very prettily coooool! Thank you @neumannsalva!!
I signed up directly after reading your post 😂😂😂 and downloaded the cardigan pattern 😍💕 Thank you so much for the tip!
I do love crochet. :-)
I hope it turns out well!
Thank you @viking-ventures. Ooo would you care to join us at #needleworkmonday? It is fun! :) Come, come!! I am currently only at round 7. Moving slowly like a 🐌.
very beautiful hat! I wish you success!
Thank you @tali72! :)
The hat looks great, @marblely! Thank you for the link. I thought 'this is my chance to add a bit of sophistication to my wardrobe' :D... alas, I couldn't download it at all . I went through all the 'clanky' registration process and then nothing ... nothing ... nothing...
oh well, I guess I shall continue to be a country pumpkin :D
--- I managed it eventually, I'm exhausted though ---
Oh dear... sorry about that, have you gotten the download link? If you haven't, I can send it over to you since you have registered, and it is free, and you still haven't gotten the download link. Just let me know your email on discord? It is a pretty cool hat @cryptocariad and would certainly add a bit of sophistication to any wardrobe :)
I've got it now, @marblely, thanks ! I'm a bit slow sometimes but eventually get it :D
Aaah the beginning of a new hat ! Love the tidiness of the needlework <3 Looking forward to see this completed <3
Thank you @veryspider :) I hope it gets completed :D
Always fun to start a new project, can't wait to see it finished!
Yup yup, so true. Thanks for dropping by @nortjenn!
That is a great pattern, the finished hat will be so pretty!
Hehe.. thanks for dropping by @jamethiel! Oo I sure hope so :D
