Those are cute!

I finished several cowls, plus a matching hat and cowl set for Ladyhawk's elderly neighbor in Kentucky who has chickens and still does her own chores though she's in her 80's. Here is Mrs. Clemens's set I just sent her, modeled by me, of course. I hope she sends me a pic of her in it instead of me, she's so cute with her bright paper white hair.



And the others I just finished that are in the web store.





And the MEGA-scarf that was supposed to be not this long. Can't say how long it is because we may do a contest on it for Blue Roo, but it can be wrapped two or three times.

I am new to BYC! I saw the crochet thread and scrolled thru the pics. Beautiful work!!!!! I love to crochet, knit, quilt, or any crafts. I'll keep watching all of the fabulous work you post and I hope to have a pic of my own as soon as I complete this semester of nursing school.

Just discovered something awesome! I was making some mittens (not from a pattern), and discovered that i you use the front post dc on the wrist section, the back side of the stitch makes it so the glove fits better around your wrist, holding the glove tighter! I liked it so much I put a few more up at the base of my fingers!

I discovered that last year and now put "cuffs" on everything lol. The only thing I don't love is that if you're doing 3 or more rows the back post has a line in front between the rows.

On a similar note, I made a fingerless glove pattern using back loop SC. My mother in law wanted them for herself and a couple ladies at work. Not knowing their hand sizes I was worried about fit with a structured pattern. These are super simple.

G-hook, WW yarn
Ch. (Lol it tried to autocorrect that to "chickens") 23 and SC across (22)
Ch. 1 SC across in back loops only and continue for 8 rows.
On the 8th row SC in backloops of the first 5 stitches, ch. 6, skip 6 stitches, continue SC in backlinks across.
Continue doing the sc in bl (including in the chain) until you reach about 24 rows, then slip stitch the first and last rows together. Your chain/skip is the thumb opening. Then you can add decorative edging if you please (I like shells around the finger side, but nothing at the wrist as it takes away from some of the adjustability.

Awesome! It is one of those "Ah ha!" moments, right?

Hey, all, help with sizing, please! I made this cute girls hat with bulky yarn. The inner circumference of the brim is about 16", but the around the outer edge of the brim is more like 18". It has enough stretch that it can fit more than one size, I'd guess and is deep enough, but what child's age would you say it is? Any ideas? I'm not really sure what I just made, lol.
