Hospital Hats #1

I seem to have lots of add bits of yarn so I am going to knit them up into hats of various kinds for the Hospital

First one is a Tristan hat in Coral

Love this pattern.
The yarn was left over from a cabled sweater I finished earlier this year and it's made a lovely hat but it's not for me

Pattern: Tristan by Drops Design
Size: 117 Stitches
Yarn: Filatura di Crosa Zara
Colour: Salmon

Second one is a small Wribbed hat in blue
Love this pattern too. I prefer to knit in the round so I modify the number of stitches but that is all

Pattern: Easy Wribbed Hat by Joan Janes
Size: 84 Stitches
Yarn: Tent Sale Worsted
Colour: Blue

Cream Spindrift Shawl

An easy knit. Hopefully for Mum to keep her warm in her new home
Not sure I like the crescent shape but that is not the fault of the pattern











The pattern was easy to follow and spot on for yarn
Loved the stitch counts!!

I added lace rows in the body of the shawl
