Light House Ski hat Update 8-9-25

Since this is a test pattern, I'm going to be changing things in it when I do the actual pattern, as I found out I don't like the way some things are looking.  But below is a picture of what I've done so far 

March 2025

I decided to make another ski hat, I'm going to use eyelash yarns, a fluffy white yarn, and regular colors to make it. I'm going to put a lighthouse in it on a brown and green grassy hill with birds and clouds in the sky. Below is a picture of the start of this, I have all the yarns and the needles and just need to work out the details on the pattern and write it out  because I drew it out first, the colors are brighter in the picture. I will up date you as I go. 



 






April 2025

I've started knitting on the Light House Ski hat following the pattern and chart that I made, I've worked the grass, the hill and part of the lighthouse with some birds and clouds in it. I still have a lot go and there are a lot of threads I have to carry along behind the hat and will have to work them in when done.  


Here I have worked of my pattern, but I am starting to not like the way it’s turning out, I think it has just too much in it.  To me it looks like an old woman dancing. Lol.











Below is the finished hat but I really don’t like it.



And it still looks like an old woman dancing, and I still don’t like it, so I have started another one with a lot of changes to my pattern.
