Heather Lavender Hat 2026

 Heather Lavender Hat 2026 

I started a new ski hat for my niece Heather, she loves hats. I will be posting as I work this . The ribbing is a new ribbing I made up using different stitches just because I liked them. Below is a picture of the start of it, and I made a chart also.  The chart part does not show up well here. I will be changing colors in the next one I make for this pattern

Long, fold 2 pieces in 3rds and hot glue to forehead of angel, take 10 pieces and tie with a piece of yarn in the middle; tightly to look like a part. cut off excess yarn, hot glue on top of the bangs just made to hide ends of bangs yet leaving enough of bang to look good. Pull rest of hair to the back and nape of angel tie a piece of yarn around it to hold in place. You can also add a flower here.

Decoating Your Angel:

 Cut a piece of 1/8 in ribbon 20 in long tie around neck in small bow, ends will hang down front of skirt. You can add a flower over the top of bow if you wish. around bottom of skirt add rhinestones, or beads, at the top of each shell so they will have a zig-zag look. If you wish you can use hair spray and spray angel and us  pearl dust, of glitter to make her sparkle! just have fun!

You can either tack or hot glue halo on. Take a piece of yarn and place it around middle of wings and pull center together and tie snuggly, you can either tack it on angels back with darning needle or hot glue it on.

If you tack it on use the excess yarn from tying the middle together, if you hot glue, cut off excess and hid ends, before gluing.
