Ear-Flap for María
The first doll clothes I have knit in years is María´s Ear-Flap hat. I used the same yarn as I did for my other Flap hats, but I used smaller needles for this one.
Now all she needs is something to go with the hat, perhaps a pullover or a poncho. We´ll think of something. It won´t be lack of ideas stopping me from knitting more for her, it will be lack of time.
I am seriously thinking about stop sleeping all together, maybe I will get more done that way!
This is her first time out in the snow, it could be the reason why she looks slightly puzzled……or is it just me thinking she does??
Ear-Flap with wings
Flug:
I wanted to make her a blue hat, no stripes, no other color yarn, just the blue…….blue is her new favorite color. She likes the Ear-Flap hats but I felt it would be too plain if it were done in one blue tone and stocking stitch, I had to have something else going on.
A simple decorative stitch that resembles little birds flying is what I chose to do. Adding beads makes the hat sparkle a bit, just the right thing!
She is very happy with it and wore it out as soon as it was dry and the last bead was sewn on. The next step is to make one for her American Doll. I already cast on and it won´t take too long to finish.
