After watching a few YouTube videos, I got the basics committed to memory and started. The first mitt fit my hand and I immediately started on the second so I wouldn&#8217;t have an unfinished pair. I&#8217;m already thinking of what changes I want to make for the next pair. Though the mitts fit, I think I&#8217;d use a larger hook and make the mitts a little wider, at least for myself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1442\" src=\"http:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Twodivinehats-241x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Twodivinehats-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Twodivinehats.jpg 408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/>A hat pattern that I have memorized this year is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MjqFS-mTgpA&amp;list=PLDkvuIH0KgcxEUwnWmdkk9on77vSetYbA&amp;index=16\">The Divine Hat<\/a>. There are several videos online but Fiber Spider\u2019s version is easy to follow. I\u2019ve made the hat at least 10 times since finding this video in September. Once I memorized the pattern, I have been able to make the adjustments that I need for different yarns and hooks based on my gauge. Once I finish making my holiday gifts, I will make myself a hat in that pattern with a coordinating scarf in some Noro that I purchased because I like the design that much.<\/p>\n<p>Tests and trials, but no tears &#8211; maybe a bit of ripping out stitches but so far 2021 has been a fun and productive crocheting year and there\u2019s still a month to go!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Happy crocheting!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why not try something different?
