Cruching and crocheting

So it is finally the new year! that means Christmas is over and luckly got all my crocheting done. Next time will start earlier! Also trying to "crunch away" all those holiday sweets and over eating!


Though recently I made a late Christmas present for my friend Jacob :) He made me a picture so I made him a beanie. It is a basic "skater" beanie but thought I'd share the pattern I used with you incase you wanted to make a quick project for a friend in these cold times...

This is the first time I ever written a pattern and I also done this pattern just at the top of my head so wrote down out of memory. Let me know if anything is wrong. Thanks!

Materials 

• Gray medium weight yarn
• Black medium weight yarn

You are working in the round.  place a stitch marker at the end of your row each time so you know when to start a new row.



1Using Gray yarn.Start off with a magic ring, or just chain 1 SC 6 and Slip Stich into the second stitch to make a circle.
2. 2SC in each stich (12)
3.Increase ,sc next stitch. Repeat till end of round

17- 29 sc around(this depends on how long you want it, try it on every couple of rows and see where you want it to stop. If you get closer to wanting to stop before you reach the end of the pattern just start to sc with the black.)
