Last year, I made beanies with ear flaps for Waka's youngest son and our nephew John in Ireland. Waks wanted one too, and autumn has arrived, so here it is:

| A Waka-beanie |
I used Kismet Spice, a lovely DK acrylic, and hooked with a double thread. The pattern is a basic beanie, starting with a 12 dc ring and increasing from there. The earflaps...I winged.

| Ears gonna be warm |
Think I might hook new ones for my boys as well.
Here's a great blog post on designing and sizing beanies. Yeeeees, it is in Afrikaans, but between Google Translate and the following, it should be easy enough to figure it out.
kb (kortbeen) = Single Crochet
kb (kortbeen) = Single Crochet
hlb (halwe langbeen) = Half Double Crochet
lb (langbeen) = Double Crochet
There you go, hook a beanie!
love it!!!!!! ;oD

Dear Stel
ReplyDeleteYou make beanies. I make spring flowers. I wish you could transfer yourself here within minutes. I would take to my dear South African friends Carien and Maros for a BBQ before class and considering the drinking habits of a South African BBQ your Maybelle flower might end up with less or more petals than the instructions are given... Ha ha ha!
