Christmas Presents for Relatives

All of these scarves were made over the summer before I moved for some of my relatives.

This crocheted cowl has Abstract Crochet Cats and pom-poms! What's not to like? This design was fairly easy to make, and my mom convinced me to add the pom-poms as a fun addition. I discovered that to make the cats look more like cats, the stitches done 'in between the ears' should be done AROUND the stitch instead of through it. 

Winter Gifts! (Part Two)

I apologize for this post being so late, I did not have all the pictures until recently.For Christmas,  my friend Hilary gave me some beautiful red alpaca yarn, which I quickly made into fingerless mittens from this pattern. The pattern was quick and easy to make, and looks beautiful!In return, I made Hilary a knitted reversible cowl, called the Boomslang, in dark pink and white yarn (modeled by my sister). This cowl worked up fairly quickly for a cowl but still took quite a bit of time. I'd intended to give her the cowl before winter break, but I ran out of time and instead had to give it to her after break.For my cousin’s birthday on January 13th, I made her a hat! I based it off off of this pattern. I had to heavily modify the pink cupcake shape in order for it to curve properly, and then I ran out of yarn and was unable to make the icing ruffles around the edge, but I'm still pretty happy with how the hat turned out.
