what fun it is to work in pink! i made this hat/scarf/mitten set last month for a 4 year old neighbor who is cuteness incarnate. boo plays with her and her brother every monday while i work at clinic.
yarn: claudia handpainted yarn fingering, doubled for hat & mittens
trim: classic elite yarns, jill eaton merino (superwash!)
accent: filatura di crosa, baby pom pom
hat pattern: inca snowflake, itty bitty hats
mitten pattern: basic pattern for children's mittens by elizabeth durand
scarf pattern: woven on a rigid heddle loom, balanced weave
heddle size 10. after washing: 6.75"x54" + 4" fringe + 4" fringe
i went to a couple of yarns stores and bought all the pink/brown that i thought would match her coat and let the little one choose. she has good taste - she chose the highest quality/most expensive yarn :)
her mom liked one of the other yarns, so i wove this scarf for her with a warp-float pattern, because i didn't have the pompom yarn to accent, and because i think the yarn floats make the scarf softer.
