My friend's daughter has her 2 year birthday party! For her birthday, I wanted to make her a hat, either an owl or ladybug since that's what she loves. However, with my other orders, I was afraid I wasn't going to get it made in time. But I decided to go ahead and try starting Friday afternoon. The party was today (Saturday). I actually was able to complete the hat portion last night as well as whipping up all the 'spots'. I sewed on 4 spots last night, but was too exhausted to finish, so I completed them this morning. Hooray for kiddos waking at 6?!?!
I found the
Ladybug Hat Pattern for free on Crochet Every Day's blog (I think I might need to follow this blog!) and decided to go to work. Since the recipient is 2, I decided to up my crochet hook to a K size (6.50mm) and added a row of black {R5: ch2, *3 dc, 2dc in each dc* [rep 12 times] (60 dc)}. Instead of 13 rounds, I made 5 rounds of black and then 11 rounds of red, in addition to the last shell row for a total of 17 rounds. I also created 10 'spots' to place around the entire hat, and decided against putting the center seam and antennas on.
