Baby Hats!

I forgot to post these when I made them!
Purple baby hat for our little girl, the other one was given to my husband's cousin for their baby of unknown gender. The baby has now been born, it turned out to be a boy.

Both hats made from Ice Yarn. Size should be about 3 months.

This week's finished items!

This week I started and finished an adults hat made with Stylecraft Chunky Harlequin, and a baby's waistcoat from the same yarn. In total, I used 2 balls. Last week I started a hat in Ice Yarn, making a ribbed hat. This took me a while because it was US sc in back loops only, so I had to concentrate to just do one loop. If I was to do it again, I would do US dc so that it goes a bit faster!
I put the waistcoat on a teddy to model it, the yarn is hard to photograph!
And here are the hats:

The purple one matches the baby hat I made our little girl.
And I had enough yarn left over to make 2 headbands!

New hat!

I'm making my first crocheted adult hat! Decided on a ribbed hat, it is taking a while, crocheting US sc in back loops only is much slower then if it was both loops, or dc! I shall persevere as I am halfway there. When it's done I want to put a pompom on the top, partly to hide where it will be joined as the hat is a rectangle with a side seemed and gathered at the top.
I want to add a photo, but google have removed the app so I'm having to use the website on my phone and I can't upload any photos. Will have to fire up the ole laptop!
Here is the photo of the work in progress! Hopefully it will match or at least co-ordinate with the purple baby hat I've made with the same yarn (Ice Yarn).

Bicycle saddle cover

Today I put my completed saddle cover on my bike. It's made from mainly short scraps, where the colours are longer are random amounts I cut off a skein/ball.
Saddle cover (almost finished).

The cover on my bike.
Instead of elastic like the pattern says, I crocheted a chain that just fit when loose, put it on the bike, then tied the chain into a bow.
Pattern can be found here: http://www.andsewwecraft.com/2013/03/guest-post-crochet-bike-seat-cover-tutorial/?fb_source=pubv1
