My Life Harriet
This is the second pattern from Darski's free Harriet pattern set found here.
Notes:
I tried to document hook size this time but I have more limited notes on the yarn.
I have no idea which brand I used for the darker grey. The lighter grey is from my last shipment of JoAnn's Big Twist Yarn. While I always found their worsted 4 to be a bit lighter it had one of the widest selection of colors available. I will miss their yarn.
Hat:
I used a J hook and followed the directions as written.
Skirt:
I used a hairband for the skirt elastic.
An H hook worked for the skirt when using elastic.
Sweater:
I used an I hook for the sweater.
Reminder there is an extra row added to the bottom when you finish the back and sides so consider that before adding more rows for length. I had to work around this as I had added additional rows for length and didn't have room for another row when I was finishing the edges.
I added a row around the collar as it seemed a bit tight.
The sleeves are finished with ss.
Scarf:
I changed the count to 100 as I find it to short otherwise. I finally noted this on the pattern after making the first attempt too short.
This is made with left over Mainstays Pink Blend that I used for the baby doll's Valentine outfits.
The shoes are made from Sweet Silver Creations Sailor Pattern that has been my got to shoe pattern for years. I'm not sure if it has been working with so much thread recently but I've gone from making these shoes with an I hook to a G hook for this pair as they've been a bit large. You can purchase the pattern here.
