hat / scarf set and more teddy bear squares

Here's the first item off my hooks made with the yarn I received from Sandy at The Bridge and Beyond. It's a scarf and hat set using 8 ounces of Red Heart Tweed worsted weight yarn in Irish Coffee. (corrected yarn amt. It is 4 ounce skeins, but took 2 skeins for the set.) This is a very nice yarn, easy to work with and gave a really good looking set. I enjoyed working with it.

I wish I were better at judging how much yarn needed for a project. I'd have made the scarf slightly shorter and the hat larger. I used every bit of the yarn. But it is what it is. The hat should fit a man though might not cover the ears entirely, as you can see on Logan. The scarf is about 6 1/2" x 65".

Logan is also hogging the remotes! I had to take the photo so I could put him back in his place and watch TV.  :-)

Next up I am working on more teddy bear squares for a friend's upcoming new arrival. Since I don't know the sex of the baby, I will be making white squares now and when the baby is born, the squares will be bordered in either pink or blue and joined.

I've changed the pattern a bit as I wanted a solid look around the teddy. For these squares I've chained 45 then worked a solid filet block at the beginning and end of each row. Other than that change and the dc row top and bottom, I followed Judith's pattern.

I used an H hook and worsted yarn (pounder). The finished size of this square is 11 1/2" x 10 1/2". It is wider than it is long, but that doesn't matter since I'm using all the squares in one ghan.

Happy crocheting!
