Bella is Tinkerbell for Halloween, of course, we called her Tinkerbella all day! We have a wonderful zoo here in Toledo, and they do an annual thing for the kiddies called Little Boo at the Zoo. She had to have a hat to wear in the 50 degree-100 mile an hour breeze, so I knitted her up a little punkin hat. She is also wearing three layers of clothing!
Yeah, this is fun!!!
I used Plymouth Dreambaby doubled and it is so soft. It almost feels like velvet or velour when you double it. I can't believe how soft it is. Just right for a little punkin head!
Specs: Billi-Jean's Pumpkin Hat (free pattern)
Plymouth Dreambaby in Orange and Green
Size 6 dpns
I added a purl stitch every 10 stitches to make the pumpkin ridges and I didn't increase to 85 stitches. I love the i-cord top!!! So cute!
All bundled up from the cold.
I also made another Montego Bay Scarf. I had so much trouble with the first one, I was determined to start another so I could get in more practice. I am happy to say that I finally got the concept of the pattern and could do it with my eyes shut. It only took me a scarf and a half, but I finally got it!! (I'm a little dense sometimes!)
Specs: Montego Bay Scarf from Interweave Knits
Sock yarn from The Sheep and Wool Co.
Size 8 circs
I added four rows of garter stitch to each end and four knit stitches to both sides.
OH MY GOSH does she look adorable in that hat :) I hope you all had fun, I was too much of a wuss to stroll around the zoo in this cold weather...brrrr!

Tinkerbella is adorable! I love her punkin hat too. =) I'm impressed that you mastered montego. I've put it down three times now because I just can't get the pattern! It's so frustrating.

Tinkerbella is adorable! I love the hat! The 2nd version of Montego bay turned out terrific. :-)

Tinkerbella looks so cute in her hat and the yarn you knit it with makes the hat look really soft and squishy. I can see that she thought it was a whole lot of fun! LOL Your scarf, too, looks wonderful. Well done, for mastering the pattern.
