2023RKB Hats

 There was enough yarn left from the camp blankets to make the 3R's their hats for the winter

This is a simple pattern which lends itself to stripes










I needed to do some juggling with the stripes but managed to get all 3 finished quite quickly

3Rs Camp Blankets #3

I think that I like this best of the three blankets.  
It is more like patchwork and has more colours than the other two. the crochet edging is a little too tight on the corners of the final row but otherwise it looks good to me. I think 5 corner stitches might have been better than three on that final row
 













The centre square came out well. I used a similar idea to the one for R 
this time it has a wider border in Aran and then the centre is Lilac with a Sky Grey letter B

Crochet edging of 3 rows completed
First 2 rows are double chain. First in Aran and second in Lilac. final row is single chain in Lilac

Pattern: Personal - Mitred Square
