Designed to mirror the colours of the backyard chooks ( chickens ) I was a child , this is a crocheted beanie that only uses about 50 g of the main colour and about 25 g of each of the other 4 colours .

I decided to design a beanie on my grandmother’s birthday after a couple of months of isolation due to Covid - 19 lockdowns in Australia where I was knitting and crocheting but not designing .

I found some violet Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 8 ply in my stash and added the various other colours of the rainbow . The stretchy nature of the ribbed section makes it warm and comfortable . Taking only 50g of the main colour and ...

Crocheted loosely on a large hook , this Super Market Bag becomes a traditional string bag when it stretches on its first use . Gauge is not important but as I crochet loosely , you may need to go up a size in the hooks . The pattern uses less than one ball of Lily Sugar n Cream 113 g yarn .
