Big head Wolf beanie - great gift for dad

 And suddenly the temperatures have dropped. The cold weather has arrived, the snow started to fall. Keep yourself warm, as well as your head and body. Don't be careless, winter is here.

Let me show the hat I've finished to knit yesterday.

It was long term project. I started to think of this design a few month ago from different angles. Made a sketch, studied more deeply DesignaKnit9 software and tried to knit some swatches on the knitting machine. Watched a few video tutorials on YouTube. Sometimes I got an obstacle as shortage of knitting machine skills and asked those who knows better and more. Thanks to God, I found right people and right answer on very specific question I had. 

People around me have been saying that I like to study. I would say no, I like to knit only 💗And if I discover something new and get new skills, the only reason is I like to knit.

Had fun making this big head beanie which now available at my Etsy Shop

The hat creates trendy look and makes leisure perfect during cold days.

The hat could be made in different sizes from smallest 18 inches head circumference to large one 26 inches. I presume how complicated to find right beanie for big head and made this cute design available for it. 

Updated: I've made a Charcoal grey beanie as well and it's also available at my Etsy shop

Probably the best Christmas warm gift for Her

Thinking of something very special for Her? 

These eco friendly warm alpaca beanies are designed and hand knitted in Ireland. 

A delightfully soft beanie in a slouchy, fair isle hand knitted hat in finest quality pure 100% alpaca wool. This will quickly become your favourite Satin lined beanie to pull on when it's chilly outside! Treat yourself to a touch of luxury for the cold winter months.

Alpaca is four times warmer than lambs wool and it doesn't pill (bobble), so you will find this hat looks good for ages.
Alpaca is one of the finest and most luxurious fibres in the world. It is known for its softness, superior warmth, lightweightedness and durability. It won't pill and will last much longer than synthetic fibres.

Choose from three popular colour styles, all ready to dispatch in 3-5 business days.

The quickest way to get warm

Alpaca is one of the finest and most luxurious fibres in the world. It is known for its softness, superior warmth, lightweightedness and durability. It won't form pellets and will last much longer than synthetic fibres. I started to knit with Alpaca wool recently and I did not expect how lovely it could be.

I can just say "here is my design" and that's it. I like to make new hat designs. Only I know how much effort is hidden in these words.

Making swatches, stitch by stitch, washing and drying it to see how fluffy the yarn is, a lot of fibbers had wool-like softness. I patiently waited for about two days letting it dry.

But the lovely dried swatch sometimes isn't suitable for a hat design: it's wider or more narrow than I expected and I can not include four and a half repeats around a head. It needs to be four or five, or six. But six repeats of flower pattern make a hat wider than needed and five repeats make it too narrow... So I probably need to adjust the flower pattern and try to make a new swatch. And wash it, and let it dry again... Anyway, I like the process!

Ok, what can I knit with Alpaca wool? - Winter accessories.

What I know for sure, however, is that they like to keep themselves cosy wherever they go, whether that is skiing (and other outdoor activities) or simply going to their local grocery store. A hat made with Alpaca wool is a brilliant solution for that. And of course, a satin lining is added.

What do my potential customers look like? I think of they gender, age, location, interests and so on. I am sure all these teens, ladies or gents prefer to get warm.

They could easily be from any country worldwide thanks to the wonders of the internet, but they could also be people with Irish roots living abroad.

I go through all steps described above and I produce luxury alpaca handmade hats designed in Ireland. You will find examples of them below.

Welcome to My Etsy store to discover it.

I carry 19-24 inches sizes.

Christmas gift for husband Men's knit alpaca hat

 Here the blank sheet of paper of my blog, I did not add any post for a while. So, let's start my story what happened with me since this time. I am sure that everyone has they own story, let's read my one if you interested. At November 2020 I can say: our live is changed. I would be never ever think this way in the Spring 2020.

Ok, lads, a bit earlier, in February 2020 I had a flight to Italy where I got 9 kiloes of lovely wool. A bit later on I was thinking: why I did not attend Venezia which was so close? And I've decided to back to Italy again to enjoy by it's beauty

But world is changed very dramatically. I still have not a chance to travel to Italy but I got a chance to stay home and knit, and knit, and knit! I would be never expected to get such luck!

This is my first design made since this Spring, I've made it in two colour ways and very enjoy by it. 

These two lovely hats were hand knitted with 100% Alpaca wool, they are available at my Etsy shop in six sizes.

Which colour way is better for you? Thank you in advance for the respond.

Welcome to my Etsy shop for lovely Christmas gifts for Him

Sincerely yours,

Summer cotton hat for women design #505

I recently started to маке summer hats by my own design. Actually, I marked this design like #505 as it brings me 505th sale at my Etsy shop . Being creative person, I tested the 505th hat Design with different color cotton yarn: antique rose pink, coal grey, light gray, off white,  taupe and brown ones. From my point of view the coal grey hat color is trendy now, as well as pink hats are very askable by my customers. Lots of people are like off white and brown color cotton summer hats as well.

I added lovely an edge to it which matched to the hat pattern.

I carry sizes 18" - 23".

ok, lads, please see it below

 

I would like to skip some steps how did I do my design, i.e. sketch, crocheting, adjusting the sketch, back to crochet again, every step was noted, testing, waiting for nice weather to be able to take a picture, taking it (hooray!), adjusting of photos and finally publishing it at my Etsy Shop 

This update added later on. I really like this hat and my customers ordered some ones more in different colours, have a look. I have been posting it to customers using quick courier service.

Here one of reviews I got recently, I was pleasure to read it at my Etsy shop

Stay at home crochet projects

Hi everybody who read this. I did not post anything for a while since February. Yes, I was making some designs and published it, it's my regular work I love very much. The situation is changed quickly and dramatically. I mean COVID 19 spreaded over the world.
I concerned about the situation like you do.

My mornings start from reading virus' updates and it's just not only my curiosity.
Then after having breakfast I go to my workroom and continue my current crochet project. It's really my STAY AT HOME PROJECT. What kind of benefit for me is? I work on the project which I like to make, I feel relax during uncertain times and when these times will be finished I will probably improve my skills and make some gifts for someone special ( which is not too bad).

Due to virus Irish Post suspended delivery to majority of countries with impacted on my business. At the moment I can not post my women's crochet hats. But the good news is I have 49 crochet dress / top / plus size patterns and 23 women's hat patterns. All these patterns are suitable for a STAY AT HOME PROJECT and it became more attractable recent days.
