I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

| Simple sc rib pattern from Lion Brand: Tweed Hat Lion Brand Tweed Stripes Yarn, 1 skein Gauge: 11 sc = about 4 inches (10 cm) Ch 26 Row 1: Work a sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across - 25 sc Row 2: Ch 1, turn, working in back loops only, sc in each sc across Repeat Row 2 until piece measures about 19 inches (48.5 cm) from beginning. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread tail through ends of rows along one long edge and pull to gather for top of hat. Knot securely.

ReplyDeleteI like the quote you have on your blog about giving. This year I gave a lot of little presents to people who weren't expecting anything. I just listened to my heart and gave a little something to those I thought needed a little lift and it has been one of the biggest blessings I have ever had. I think it truly is more blessed to give than receive.
What beautiful colours, your hat pattern is wonderful quick and easy and will make a lovely gift for my brother.Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteOh so beautiful, Josie! She will be thrilled! Love the beanie too, really lovely! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
