I delivered this blue-and-white beanie while we were out yesterday.
An endurance rider saw the pink beanie I’d made for another rider and said she’d love a blue-and-white one. I was able to get the wool on special and I didn’t charge her making it. Luckily, it was a good fit. I knew the size of the pink one and knew it had to be bigger than that so fortunately it fitted well.
She said she would spread the word so maybe I’ll have more to crochet in the near future. I used a fancier stitch with this one.

I have several that I wear during the winter. They really do help keep your ears warm.

@JudyEv I understand. I'd never try to make clothing items because of the sizing factor. I always preferred making blankets and bedspreads.

@DaddyEvil There is a bit of leeway with beanies. Sometimes I ask for a circumference measurement which makes it easier.

Judy that's so cute. You do really nice work.
I'm gonna start wearing these this winter. I remember last winter my ears were getting so cold to the point of hurting. And I was getting chills up my head.
^ Something like this will be perfect
Nice job :)

Looks neat. I always thought wool is worked with knitting needles.

So nice, I want to learn how to make things like this, or more specifically, I want to learn how to crochet, period. I love the handmade aspect, kind of like a homecooked meal as opposed to take-out. Just a couple of days ago I was looking on YouTube and telling myself that I'm finally going to commit to learning how to crochet (after more than a decade of not mastering it yet
).
