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.

Wash cloth

I found this nice bird on the Lion Brand website and decided to crochet it. It's really a pot holder but I decided to make one piece and use it as a wash cloth. 

The pattern is simple and easy to follow. I made the bird slightly longer because I used yarn that was not as thick as in the recipe and I wanted to have my bird little longer than according to the rows in the pattern.

 You can find the pattern here.
