Two Colour Knitting

Last year I was getting bored of single rows of colour in my knitting. I wanted to “shake things up” so I decided to do some colour-working. I realize this makes me a wild woman who you may be shy of associating with, but check out a few of the results.

Elsa Frozen Crochet Hat FREE Pattern

My second giveaway item at the end of November (also an Elsa hat) was a hit with my 8-year-old daughter. She so wanted the one that I gave away so I promised that I would make her one also. She wanted to edit it a little bit so I added a big blue snowflake. The placement of it on top of the tiara was all her idea and I must say I like how it looks.
