Scarf set for Marie

Hi blog fans!

Today I have a little different project to show you.

My granddaughter celebrated her first birthday on

November 14th and I wanted to knit something for her.

I decided on a hat, scarf and mitten set.

This is what I started with.

I saw this big spool of coordinating yarn at the 

store, it happened to be on sale and I thought it

would be perfect for this project.

I'm sorry I can't link you to any patterns,

because I just flew by the seat of my pants

for these pieces.
I looked at a few patterns for hats and mittens

then made up my pattern as I went.  

They were all actually very easy to make,

my only problem was knowing what size to make

them.  I did get an estimate from a couple patterns

I found online and guesstimated as I went.

I did pretty well, the only thing is that the mittens

are a little long, but that's okay, they will stay in the sleeves

of her jacket better this way.

Here are a couple pictures of Marie in her scarf set.

I'm glad you stopped in today and I hope 

you enjoyed my post and will come again soon.

Until then,

try something different!
