Hello friends.
I was recently visiting at my mom's house and she shared with me this knit sweater that she made. My mom made this sweater to fit a child. I told her that I loved the style, the yarn, and the stitching. The yarn she used is green with small specks of different color yarn mixed in.
What really made me happy was that she told me that I could donate it to our knit/crochet sale that we have each fall at my church.
If you read this mom, I just want to say thanks for this lovely sweater. Someone will be very happy wearing it!
I love this sweater and I hope to someday make one similar to this. My mom is a very talented knitter and this is where I became fascinated by yarn many years ago. My mom and aunt taught me how to knit one summer many years ago, but I can only knit scarves and cowls. I will have to challenge myself to knit a sweater sometime.
Below are some crocheted hats I made that look almost like the same yarn my mom used on the sweater. The yarn I used is not as heavy and thinner than the yarn my mom used . I made two different styled hats and I like the hat I crocheted with the small flower.

The first crochet hat I made I'm not sure about what pattern I used for this since I found it on Pinterest. I also added the lower bottom part of the hat using the single crochet stitch. The flower pattern can be found HERE. The yarn I used for the hat was worsted weight yarn given to me to use by our crochet/knit groups stash yarn we have. There was no label on the yarn. You can use whatever yarn you like and the crochet hook is a US size I.
The second crochet hat seen above to the right is made in a different style for a child. The pattern to make this hat can be found HERE.
The hats I crocheted are for a child and I found them not too difficult to make.
I hope I've inspired you to crochet a hat and have fun making one.
Have you crocheted or knitted anything lately?
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend! Jess and I will see you all back here on Monday for our Cooking and Crafting with J & J Link Up.
Hi friends, I would love to share with you this beautiful sweater my mom made for me. In the summer my mom said that she wanted to knit a sweater for me and I had fun picking out the yarn that she would use. I picked out the yarn and it is called Noro, Taiyo Col No. 7, Lot No. C. My mom and I found the pattern together and it's called #285 Pure & Simple Neck Down Swing Coat by Diane Soucy. If you are on Ravelry you can find the pattern there. The sweater is a swing coat and it's perfect for wearing in this cold weather that we are having right now.
The black buttons my mom used on the sweater are antique and I love the way it looks.
On the inside of the sweater near the neck my mom sewed in this cute label.
You can see here the label inside the sweater near the top of the neck and the pretty buttons.
Looking at the sweater you can see the different effects that the yarn has made. The yarn has made a stripe effect with many multi colors. I love that this sweater will go with anything I wear, either a top underneath the sweater or with any colored pants or jeans.
My mom gave me this sweater in November and I love wearing it. I have already gotten a lot of use out of wearing it due to the very cold weather we are having right now. Thanks so much mom for making this beautiful sweater for me, I just love it.
I think that this is how I became inspired to learn how to knit and crochet from my moms love of knitting. My mom learned to knit when she was only 11 years old by an aunt. Since then my mom has made so many wonderful creations such as socks, scarves, and sweaters. My mom also made for me a beautiful knitted felted handbag and you can see that here. I think that my mom is really talented and creative and I just love that.
My mom and aunt Mary taught me how to knit one summer in 2009 and I also took a class at the Lion Brand Yarn Studio. The Lion Brand Yarn Studio gives lessons in knitting and crocheting and the classes are small and you get the one on one attention that is so vital in learning a craft.
I hope I may have inspired you in some way to take a class in knitting or crocheting if you want to learn a new craft. It's so much fun once you learn either one.
Have a nice weekend everyone and see you on Monday for my Makeup Monday Series.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!
Julie
