Dog and hats

This little dog joined the group of amigurumi figure my aunt has few days ago.

 This pattern is from the Candy Magazine 1 and the dog is crocheted from the yarn Candy that is specially designed for the patterns (or the patterns for the yarn).

 So I decided to use rest yarn and knit a hat. The first one was striped from dark brown and gray Smart yarn from Sandnes yarn.

Then came a blue hat with a line that runs over the hat, also from Smart.

  And finally I finished a floral hat I started some time ago. The colors in it are dark gray and creamed. I drew the pattern from a embroidery pattern I found on Pinterset and changed it to fit for the knitting look.

I am writing the pattern for the first two hats, and when it´s ready I will post them on the blog.

Summerwork

What a long time it is since I wrote last time. Time passes fast when you are having fun. 

I finished this sweater early this summer and I am very happy with it. It´s made of yarn that has among other fibers linen.  I dug that yarn out of my stock. The colors are much greener than the picture shows.

Then I knitted Lopi sweater for my husband. I knitted it from a leftover wool. It is knit on needles no. 8 and three-plate plðtulopi.

One of my niece's is a dollmama and she ordered this hat for her doll wich had no hat that matched well on the dollhead.

 The same aunt got this pillow for her birthday.

Then there was the jam  making. I made rhubarb jam, rhubarb- and datejam and red currant jelly.

That´s it. Those are the crafts and agriculture work I did this summer.

Haf - a hat

Knitted measurements:

Medium (for woman and man)

Gauge:

10 cm are 17 rounds

Material:  

Yarn that fits the gauge, 50 g dark blue and 50 g light blue. I used Hubro from Dalegarn

Circular needles size 8mm or size to obtain gauge

Cable needle, tapestry needle

This hat is worked from the lower edge and up. It´s knitted on circular needle so there are no sewing except to sew in the ends.

Cast on 68 sts. with the darker color and join in a round, be careful not to twist sts. Knit rib pattern, *k2, p2; repeat from * to end. Knit until piece measures 7 cm.

Switch to the lighter color and knit one round. Increase one stich at the end of the row (69 stitches on needle).

Now knit the pattern according to the chart (munstur 1 or munstur 2). Note however that the round ends up in a 1 purled sts.

In the third round you have to increase one sts. at the end of the row (70 stitches on needle).

You can choose between two different cable patterns.

In “munstur 1” the cables turns in the opposite direction (pattern 1)

In “munstur 2” the cables turns in the same direction (pattern 2).

*	Takið 2 lykkjur og setjið á hjálparprjón, leggið lykkjurnar fyrir framan og prjónið 2 lykkjur fyrir aftan. Prjónið síðan lykkjurnar fyrir framan. Pjónið síðan áfram.
*	Takið 2 lykkjur og setjið á hjálparprjón, leggið lykkjurnar fyrir aftan og prjónið lykkjurnar 2 fyrir framan. Prjónið síðan lykkjurnar fyrir aftan. Pjónið síðan áfram.

Here is a video from Drops studio that shows how to knit a cable.

Knit until the piece measures 19 cm. Then knit the knit stitches two together the whole round, 63 stitches are on the needle.

After knitting 22 cm all the purl stitches are knit two together the whole round, 49 stitches on the needle.

When piece measures 26 cm knit two stitches together the whole round.
After that you cut a long tail an pull the strand through the remaining loops.

Finishing:

Turn the hat inside out. Bind of all lose ends.

Create a pompom and sewed on the top of  the hat.
