Norwegian Flag Scarf

A Scarf for Hans in Norway
Who is Hans?
He is my bonus dad, and for additional tidbits, I've written about him here; he's awesome  :-)
He lives in Norway and I thought he might like a scarf for Christmas.
So a "net" search resulted in this;
it reminds me of the Norwegian Flag:
This was a super easy and fast pattern (just alternating single crochets with a chain) from the "Eating Out Loud" website, click here for the pattern and thank you "Eating Out Loud".

Loops & Threads Charisma Yarn with a size J (6.0 mm) hook.

God Jul, Hans!

Puff Flower Project #3

A Slouchy Hat
If my hair looks blond it's because you cannot see the crown...
I have been too busy crocheting to color it. ;-)

This is a free online pattern; it's called the "Phannie, sunburst pattern beret", and can be found at the Berroco Site. Click here for the pattern. I was using leftover yarn from the scarves at the last two posts, but I ran out so I shorted it by four rows; hence, it's a little less "slouchy".

Ella Rae yarn was used for the puff flowers for this hat and the scarves in the previous two posts.
The cream and the beige are from the stash and were without a label so I don't know what they are, but I do know they 100% acrylic. The Ella Rae is 25% wool and 75% acrylic, but it seemed o.k. to mix the two. :-)

Hope your Sunday is full of peace and relaxation!
