I made this simple little shawl after looking at the Dragonfly Shawl and being too lazy to do that one!

G hook

fingering weight or sock yarn - at least one skein, but if you want to make it bigger, you will need more yarn

yarn needle

pins and a surface for blocking - I used large push pins and did it on my wooden deck

it's up to you!

This pattern is written by a lazy person, so your going to have to use your noggin to work it out. It is more of a sketch than an all out pattern. Good luck! I know you can do it! (I am also a very friendly person who is more than willing to answer questions and help you along.)

Logwood Shawlette

the very middle of each row will always be a Shell

This little guy was made as a freebie on my blog in 2009. I tried making this one with a bit of a heart shape. If you shop at Target* you would have seen that little pink Owl pillow with similar Pink and Red colors. This was my inspiration for this little guy.

Materials: G hook, Redheart Red (1 small skein), Tapestry needle, Fiber fill stuffing, 2 safety eyes, white yarn (scraps)

Around 5 inches High

I originally made this for my daughter, but had many people ask me about it and the pattern, so I wrote it down and first put it up on Ravely and desided it was time to shre it here :)

Tahki Cotton Classic in 2 colours (Colours A & B)
Sm- 2.50mm or as needed for gauge
Med- 3.25mm or as needed for gauge
Lg- 3.75mm hook or as needed for gauge

I don't have actual measurements, but the Small should fit a child and the medium should fit a small adult and the large shout fit an average size adult.

The medium size is shown in the photo.

Sm = 7dc per inch
Med = 6dc per inch
Lg = 5 dc per inch

If a larger size is still needed just adjust hook size up.

abbreviations:
ch = chain
slp st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
st(s) = stitch(s)
sk = skip

Instructions:

(NOTE: the beginning ch 3 of every round always counts as the first stitch,
Rnds 1-9, Do not turn at the end of the rnds)

Top of cap:
With A, Ch 4, join in 4th ch from the hook to form chain loop

Rnd 1- (right side) ch 3, dc 12 times into the chain loop, join with slp st into the 3rd ch of 1st st. (13 stitches),

Rnd 2- Change to B , ch 3, dc into same st, [2 dc into next st] around, join with slp st into the 3rd ch of 1st st. (26 stitches)
