One Ball of Purple Yarn and a Car

Isn't it amazing what you can do with one ball of purple yarn?
I made a crocheted hat, crocheted flower decoration, and a knitted neck scarf.

I did the knitted neck scarf with the same pattern as last time. But I made a edge on the scarf so it's smoother and nicer.

1. Right side: Pick up the first stitch as if to purl -do everything in between- until the last stitch which you pick up as if to purl.

2. Wrong side: Knit the first stitch through the back-do everything in between- and then knit the back stitch as normal.

I also crocheted a hat sort of beanie through repeated half double crochet and double crochet layers interrupted by single crochet layers. The crocodile stitch flower is attached to a pin so that I could switch up the location of it.

 I also made a little toy car out of felt. It's two layered with polyester fluff in between. I sealed the edges with the blanket stitch.

Crocheted Hat pattern:


BAND
Note: Each dc of Rnd 1 of the Band is worked around (rather than in) a ch, to create a tidy edge.
Ch 76 (or however many that is required to place around your head). Being careful not to twist, join with sl st in first ch to make a ring.
Rnd 1: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), dc around (rather than in) the next ch, *hdc in next ch, dc around next ch; rep from * around, join with sl st in top of beg ch-2.
Place marker for beg of rnd. Move marker up as each rnd is completed.
Rnd 2: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), do NOT turn, FPDC in next dc, *hdc in next hdc, FPDC in next dc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch-2.
Rnd 3-5: Rep Rnd 2 three more times.
(A good example of the band and front post double crochet can be seen here)
