Christmas Noel Collar

My first year of participating in the Scheepjes Christmas Blog Hop. This means that every day, for 12 days, a member of the Scheepjes Bloggers makes a Christmas inspired pattern. You can get this pattern for free. Yesterday was the turn of Kirsten She made an asesome Christmas crosstitch mug cozy and tomorrow it's Maria's turn.

Ella Scarf

It's a fine striped scarf, as you can expect from me. This yarn is such a joy to work with. It is soft and colors combine beautifully. The pattern of the scarf is pretty easy, but it is advisable to make a sample of a different yarn. The mohair is in fact not so easy to rip.

Het is een fijne gestreepte sjaal geworden, zoals te verwachten is van mij. Dit garen werkt zo fijn. Het is heerlijk zacht en de kleuren zijn prachtig te combineren. Het patroontje van de shawl is vrij eenvoudig, maar het is toch aan te raden om een proefje te maken van een ander garen. de mohair is namelijk niet zo eenvoudig uit te trekken. 

For this scarf you need / Je bent voor deze shawl nodig; 

4 skeins / bolletjes Mohair Rhythm and 4 skeins / bolletjes of Alpaca Rhythm;

Foxtrot
Hip Hop
Robotic
Quickstep

I let this know ahead, so you can choose the colors you like for this scarf. Because next week the pattern will be here and you can start right away. Maybe a Christmas gift for someone?

Ik laat dit vast weten, zodat je vast kunt kiezen met welke kleuren jij deze sjaal wilt maken. Want volgende week staat hier het patroon en kun je lekker aan de slag. Misschien nog een Kerst kadootje voor iemand?

 

Sneak Peek

Here is the promised Sneak Peek

Hier is de beloofde Sneak Peek

But first my yarn choices. What do you think. I picked a soft pink, a plum, a dark and a light grey and they come in great names; 

Foxtrot

Quickstep

Hip Hop 

Robotic

And of course, I opted for Alpaca and Mohair, and I'm going to crochet with them single thread.

Maar eerst mijn garen keuzes. Wat denk jij. Ik koos een zacht roze, een pruim kleurige, een donkere en een licht grijze en ze komen in die geweldige namen;

Foxtrot

Quickstep

Hip hop

Robotic

En natuurlijk heb ik gekozen voor en Alpaca en Mohair, en ik ga enkel draads met ze haken.

And the sneak peek? Here it is and in a few days the reveal. Do you recognize it? Can you guess what it's going to be?

En de sneak peek? Hier is het dan en in een paar dagen de onthulling. Herken je het al? Kunt u raden wat het gaat worden?

See you in a few days again and what is your favorite dance?

Zie je over een paar dagen terug en wat is jouw favoriete dans?

This is how the shawl looks in a solid color. What do you think?

Lotte shawl

And here she is. I am very happy with the result. The colors remind me of the beach and sea.

En hier ze dan. Ik ben heel blij met het resultaat. De kleurtjes doen me denken aan strand en zee.

This is what she looks like when you crochet her in a solid color. Also beautiful, isn't she?

Zo ziet ze er uit wanneer je haar in één kleur haakt. Ook mooi toch?

And here again the colors from which to choose.

En hier zijn nog een keer de kleurtjes waaruit je kunt kiezen.

Will you come along next week for the pattern? You can then copy or download the pattern for free.

Kom je volgende week langs voor het patroon? Die kun je dan gratis kopiëren of downloaden.

Triangle or rectangle. What's it going to be?

Surprise, it's another shawl but not a triangle or rectangle. It will be a combination of the 2. How I'm going to do this? I'm going to show that next week, when the shawl is ready. Love for you to return next week for the reveal.

Verrassing, het word weer een shawl / omslag doek maar geen driehoek of rechthoek. Het word een combinatie van die 2. Hoe ik dat ga doen? Dat laat ik volgende week zien, als de shawl klaar is. Hoop dat je volgende week terug komt voor de onthulling.

Knitted Zahra shawl

 A while ago I published the pattern of the Zahra shawl. You can find the pattern here Zhara

Een tijdje terug heb ik het patroon van deze shawl uitgegeven. De Zahra shawl. Je kunt dat patroon hier vinden Zhara

This shawl is crocheted, but I can imagine that your not able to crochet or you don't like doing it (What I really can't imagine, but ...)

Deze is gehaakt, maar nu kan ik me voor stellen dat je helemaal niet kunt haken of het niet leuk vind (Wat ik me eigenlijk niet kan voor stellen, maar...)

 For it may be that you are a true knitter at heart. What should you do if you really like this pattern? I came up with the solution. I just made a knitting variation. And this is how it looks;

Want het kan zijn dat je in hart en nieren een echte breister bent. Wat moet je dan als je het patroon ook mooi vindt? Daar heb ik nu de oplossing voor. Ik heb het patroon nu ook in een brei variatie gemaakt. En dat is deze geworden;

For this shawl I also used the beautiful yarn from Scheepjes;

2 skein Invicta Colour 951

1 skein Invicta Extra 1347

1 skein Invicta Extra 1340

But you can also choose your own combinaties.

Voor deze shawl heb ik ook weer het mooie garen van Scheepjes gebruikt;

2 bollen Invicta Colour 951

1 bol Invicta Extra 1347

1 bol Invicta Extra 1340

Maar je kunt natuurlijk ook weer je eigen kleurcombinaties maken uit het brede assortiment

I hope I made all the knitters happy and that you'll come back next week, because then the pattern will be available here.

Ik hoop dat ik alle breisters hier blij mee heb gemaakt en dat jullie volgende week terug komen, want dan zal het patroon hier beschikbaar zijn.
