Beanies and headbands collection 2009-2013

Hello everybody,

today I want to show you my a part of the beanies and headbands I made in the last 4 years:

The first few works were made with cheap
wool that I got from some supermarket.

For later projects, I switched to better
quality wool.

Here's a list of wool I used for my beanies:

Schachenmayr Boston
MyBoshi
Lana Grossa Mille II

When looking at my beanies,
you will also notice that I switched my
way of making flowers.

So far, quite many people asked me what the most difficult pattern for me was.

For me, the chess pattern (see next image) is one of the most difficult ones as you are working with two colours and you constantly need to check the number of stitches you made + you also have to check that your work does not get too tight.

As you have probably noticed, I have made some beanies twice-
this was due to the fact that some people saw my beanies and wanted to have a beanie with the same colour/pattern- but in the end, each beanie is
unique :)

This beanie is probably one of my "masterpieces". I made it for a friend of mine who is allergic to wool.
Due to this, I had to used a 100% cotton yarn for this work. It took me quite a long time to finish this beanie as
the cotton yarn is EXTREMELY thin and you only make slow progress.

This is one of the beanies I made for my older sister. It is the only beanie for which I made a bobble. The sparkling stones on the beanie are special stones from Swarovski which you can iron on fabric/wool/yarn ect.
