Knitted 2-in-1 Hat / Neck Warmer
This knitted 2-in-1 hat/neck warmer (with crocheted ruffled edge) is made for Qi Ru, my good friend YK's granddaughter.
Qi Ru will be staying in China for a while , so I hope this hat is thick enough for the cold weather.
When it is used as neck warmer, it can be worn upside down too. It looks more like a collar this way. :)
I always think that it is a very good idea to make the hat "2-in-1".
I have another one made last year......
check it out ..... here

Eyelet Ribbed Baby Cardigan
Today I finished knitting this eyelet ribbed cardigan.
I find the eyelet pattern very interesting to knit . It would be nice to knit another cardigan using only the eyelet pattern.
You can get the online free pattern below......

There are some error in the pattern tho'.
On the instruction given for "Left Front"...... the "K2" at the beginnig of row 1 and row 4 should be "P2" and not "K2".
I made the armholes bigger and wider and I added a crocheted edge at the bottom . The buttons are not sewn on yet .
