Fan Edged Lavender Hat

Here's the lavender version of the Fan Edged Hat. Worked the same way as the blue heather. This was the "test" pattern once I had it written up.

Enjoy!

And my next post will (hopefully) be a pattern written up for armwarmers to match this hat.

This hat pattern was created quite a few years ago. I have just realized that I never posted it. I have tested it a couple times, it is not perfect, if there are any errors or questions please let me know.

The "SWoofer" ©

This pattern came out of necessity to cover the three (Yes, 3!) empty swiffer type mops I have.

It is named the "SWoofer" because I have two dogs that shed big time!

Any type of "kitchen cotton" will do. For this project I used Peaches N' Cream in white and an "H" hook.

Finished size: This one pictured here is 4 1/2 inches x 10 inches. Measure your mop head to ensure a tight fit.

SWoofer Cover

Ch 17.

Row 1: Sc in second stitch from hook. Sc into each stitch across, turn. (16 st).

Rows 2-9: Ch 1. Sc into each st across, turn. (16 st in each row).

Row 10: Ch 2. Hdc across in front loops only, turn. (16 st).

Rows 11-38: Ch 2. Dc, sc across, turn. (16 st in each row).

Row 39: Ch 2, Hdc across in front loops only, turn. (16 st).

Rows 40-48: Ch 1, sc across, turn. (16 st).

Fasten off.

Fold at HDC row on each end. Using as sl st, sc or whipstitch, hook the sc and dc/sc sections together. (I used the sc and did about 10 st).

Granny Square Baby Blanket

Finished!

I used a basic edging of sc, dc, tc, dc, sc around and used a sc to put them together.

Here is one picture. The rest can be found under my Ravelry profile: crochetdragon.

Baby Blanket Progress

Next row done. The third row on the squares. I have also decided that I am only making 9 squares. Twenty is too many to put together. :) Slow going since Christmas is here. But I will get it done and send it to her.

Two more squares...

Now there are four squares. My plan is to make 20 squares this size (to start). After I make these 20 squares, I will add two rows to each square alternating colors.Maybe not this many rows, depending on how big it gets and how much yarn I have (it is only a baby blanket and I have a tendency to make baby blankets too big) but this is the basic idea:

Beginning of Granny Square Baby Blanket

These are the beginning squares of the baby blanket I am making for my sister so she can give it to her friend. I am using Palatte 024/219 Baby Yarn in Snow Bunny and Boy Blue. It's super soft!
