I was busy before Christmas making gifts. Because I didn’t want to spoil anyone’s surprise I couldn’t share with you all the makings. But now I can.
These were hats and necks warmers I made for the kids of my oldest cousin MJ who lives in Madrid. They have had an unusual cold winter there this year and I thought this would come in handy.
For the hat I used
this pattern from Drops with a few alterations.
The neck warmer pattern was inspired by Jennifers Neighborly. I love to knit from top to bottom. I don't know why but for some reason it is more fun. I'll share the neck warmer pattern in a later post.

These are lovely. The design and color.

I don't think I've ever seen a neck warmer. Love the idea and these look perfectly crafted. Beautiful gifts.
