I wanted to improve my crochet and knitting skills of all things small, and was given a free pattern from a charity shop Age UK to knit or crochet little cosies. Pink and blue striped pompom hat cosy - crochet I practised magic loop, and a few basic crochet terms following the beginner pattern. Beehive - knitting - a quick free pattern by Amanda Berry I made the bee by knitting small rectangle and adding eyes and yarn loop wings. Seagull - knitting - pattern by needles and pins, Rainbow pompom hat cosy - knitting straight forward st st changing colours every 2 rows. Fluted cosy - knitting vintage pattern (copely) Etsy - I remember seeing this pattern as teapot covers and dolls hiding spare toilet rolls an interesting knit I tried giving it a more modern look using royal blue and white and dividing colours on pompom -
