New Bucket Hat

This hat was my mom's idea, and it has grown legs and has run all over the internet! This combination of colors was her choice. I think it turned out pretty really! The contrast of green on green is really attractive. It is also very easy to make, so I decided once again to share it with you all. This is an ideal charity and gift project as well. Enjoy!

Eglantine

I love the almost wild sweet briar roses, especially, the climbing ones with rosy-red or just deep rose blooms. Eglantine is one of those. Even thou Eglantine's blooms are most of the time pink, the rose hips are a vivid color, so I decided to name this short scarf after that lovely rose.

Note- Side #2 is 1 row shorter than Side #1 at the Edge, the reason is because of the gaping hole of the buttonhole, otherwise, the tie would look longer on one side than on the other.
We correct that by making one side shorter.

Thread sewing needle with red thread and sew button in place opposite to buttonhole. Fasten off, secure at back.

Done!

Sapphire Lace Scarflet

The classic, go-with-anything quality of navy blue has made it an enduring color in women's closets for generations!
