Him: “Why don\u00b4t you crochet? We are driving on the straight road.”
\nMe: “I am thinking right now.”
\nHim: “Well you can think on mountain roads.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were driving to a spa resort for a short vacation. Whenever my partner drives, I crochet. And I love straight highways. Mountain roads are a different story. I feel quite dizzy but this time I waited for them. I put aside the hook and tried to picture this hat in my mind. I could see it clearly. As soon as I could which was hard with a baby and some crochet orders to fulfill that night, I finally had time to sit and crochet this new baby hat. I quickly wrote a pattern in order\u00a0not to forget it and with a wave of nostalgia I named it a Spa baby beanie.<\/p>\n
USEFUL TIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n So let\u00b4s try.<\/p>\n Spa Baby beannie\u00a0 with a Norwegian pattern<\/strong> Suitable for\u00a0pre-intermediate<\/strong><\/p>\n US terminology:<\/strong> Each row starts with either 1 CH = Single Crochet or 2 CH = Half Double Crochet and ends with SlSt. I do not mention it in the pattern.<\/p>\n Creamy<\/strong> (hook 6\/J\/10) Now add brown yarn and lead it behind the work. TIP: When you insert the hook in the loop, add also the brown yarn and crochet around this (look in the gallery I took picture of the inside part of the hat). You avoid to have a loosen strings inside the hat. In the fourth row crochet each 8th stitch with brown yarn.<\/strong> In the fifth row crochet each 7th stitch with brown\u00a0yarn<\/strong> and start from the third\u00a0<\/strong>SC. In the sixth row crochet each 6th stitch with brown\u00a0<\/strong>yarn and start from the first\u00a0<\/strong>SC. In the seventh row crochet\u00a0each 5th stitch with brown\u00a0<\/strong>yarn. In the eighth row crochet\u00a0each 4th stitch with brown\u00a0<\/strong>yarn and start from the second<\/strong> SC. In the ninth row crochet\u00a0each 3rd stitch with brown\u00a0<\/strong>yarn. CAREFUL<\/strong> – here you change the yarn.<\/strong> Your main yarn is brown from now on and the creamy goes behind the work In the eleventh row crochet\u00a0each 4th stitch with creamy\u00a0<\/strong>yarn. In the twelfth row crochet\u00a0each 8th\u00a0stitch with creamy\u00a0<\/strong>yarn and start from the second<\/strong> SC. In the thirteen row crochet\u00a0each 9th\u00a0stitch with creamy\u00a0<\/strong>yarn\u00a0and start from the fourth<\/strong> SC. In the fourteenth row crochet\u00a0each 10th\u00a0stitch with creamy\u00a0<\/strong>yarn CAREFUL\u00a0since now on use only brown yarn<\/strong> POMPOM (2x)<\/strong> Finish<\/strong> And that it is.\u00a0Please click on any advertisement or share<\/strong> this pattern on social networks as a \u201cthank you\u201d for this free pattern.
