Granny Square Cowl - Part 4 of our Mini Mother's Day Series

Image
Hello everyone, it's time for our final instalment of our Mini Mother's Day pattern series.  If you are from the UK, happy Mother's Day, take some time out of your day to treat yourself and make this quick and easy cowl. If you are from the US you still have plenty of time to make this as a gift.  I hope you enjoy the pattern... You can find  part 1 ,    part 2  and part 3 here... I have used Stylecraft Batik Elements DK in the shade Titanium and matched it with Jarol Heritage DK in Winter White.  Although I have used different colours for some of the patterns, they are all designed to be a matching set and you can of course use the same colourway for each one. There is an ad free, pdf version of this pattern available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work... Granny Square Cowl Materials Stylecraft Batik Elements DK & Jarol Heratige DK (less than 100g in total) 4mm (G) hook & 3.5mm (E)

Granny Square Fingerless Mitts - Mini Mother's Day series part 2

Image
Hello everyone, it's time for part 2 of our mini Mother's Day pattern series and this week we have the mitts to match the boot cuffs we made in part 1.  It's another granny square design (you know how I love granny squares) and they are quick and easy to make. The mitts will fit an average adults hands but can be adjusted for bigger or smaller hands by going up or down a hook size.  You could even use less rounds for your squares to make them the right size for a child.  The pattern is easily adjustable. I have used Stylecraft Batik Elements in shade Magnesium and Stylecraft Batik in Cream to make my mitts, but you could use any colours you wish or make in just one colour.  This is a great project to play around with colour, the options are limitless.  I would love to see yours, why not join the  Facebook group  and share your photos or use #lullabylodge on Instagram. As always an ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you fo
