Now these were fun to make! As with most of my projects I enjoyed playing with color and for each of these scarves and hats I combined several colors of yarn for an interesting effect.
For this scarf and hat I used three shades of pink yarn. I knit the scarf body first, then knit the legs and tail separately and sewed them on. The head was also knit separately and has plastic safety eyes. I came up with my own pattern for each of these scarves and hats after getting some inspiration online.
This scarf was knit in purple and white and the hat was knit using three shades of purple.
This dog scarf and hat was knit in shades of blue and white. Of course Calcifer helped me knit all of these and they each have his purr of approval 😉
Sort of unintentionally, every one of these scarves turned out a bit different. I wrote down my patterns as I created them, but using different yarn changed up the results for each. That’s OK though, most of my work is one of a kind, whether it’s a gift or something for sale.
And for the final dog scarf I used light blue, light blue green, and white yarn. And this guy ended up with a big blue nose. (Sort of makes me think of Blue’s Clues). Since these were all made for young kids I wanted them to be fun and whimsical, as well as soft and warm.
So that’s it for the Christmas gifts for 2020. Some of the things I made for gifts may be recreated and listed in my Etsy and ArtFire shops (those ornaments were a lot of fun to create- I can definitely see myself making more of those). If you’re interested in any of my work be sure to check out my shops and see all I have to offer. And if you’d like to purchase something similar to what you’ve seen in my Christmas Gifts posts or other posts in my Gallery category, just send me a message and I’ll see what I can do for you.
Thanks for stopping by!
