I used scrap yarn I was given. The orange/black (acrylic?) yarn is kinda scratchy, so I put a thick fuzzy chenille type on the band around the head. The knit pattern was made on my DIY pen loom with a slightly altered "rib stitch"(It really a 1 over 2) I learned online. I made the pom pom body, but the head is a store bought pom pom I had left from another project. The spider (cat) eyes were also bought for another project. Overall, I think it turned out really cute. It looks ordinary until you see it from the back staring at you.
My daughter didn't want to give it up, so I guess I'll be making her one. Probably pink/brown.
Ooh I want one too that is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristin.
ReplyDeleteBeanies are a great beginner project. They don't take a lot of time to finish. I learned a great deal while making it and had fun decorating it, too.
I'd wear one all year long if he'd scare off the biting insects around here? :)

found a picture of your hat when I was searching for pumpkin carving spider patterns. I loved it so much that I'm trying to make my version with my knifty knitter round loom.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear I could inspire you! And, thanks for commenting. :)
DeleteGood luck on the hat!
