Peaches Pinks and Red Hats and Scarves


This is made from two different types of wool that match in colour.Both lovely warm peach shades but one is  very soft cotton wool like texture an the other an ordinary acrylic blend wool.There are six  perfect little peach flowers in total.





PEACH BEENIE STYLE HAT

Another lovely warm shade of peach.This is a simple acrylic blend wool but tightly crocheted it is very warm.The brim can be worn turned up or down on most of the bernie style hats...


This lovely shabby chic style hat always puts me in mind of marmalade[definitely one with the orange peel still in] It is such a juicily fruity mix of orange colour wool and a little bit Christmassy really,just needs tinsel

^This is the hat photographed from above^


Very sweet simple shade of pink wool hat,again thickly crocheted for warmth



A lovely pale pink collection of wools in a shabby chic style hat.Great for keeping your hair in place on windy days as well as keeping the chill out.The brim is crocheted in a warm bubblegum pink colour wool,with a lacy edge.

This is a great city hat,a beautiful way to stand out in the urban landscape like a modern Red Riding hood! Crocheted thickly in a rich lush red wool which is a bit festive looking too for when you  are feeling Christmassy




I love these colours,they work so well together.The bubblegum pink and the hot red.It took quite a bit  of insistent requesting [nagging] to get my mother Molly who does all the crocheting and knitting to finally put them together as she does not like red at all and generally opposes it.

Cosy Cream and Neutral Colours Crochet Warm Wool Hats

These mostly neutral or mixed colour hats are the ones that will go with any outfit or hair colour.

style hat is very soft and sweet,a bit smaller than the rest of the hats.It has a very soft touch a sort of velvety soft texture


This is an unusual mix of colours hat but the pink and light brown works beautifully.It would be flattering to any hair colour but i think it would go very well with red hair


Definitely a hat that would go with most outfits.The black and white and gray wool is the same sort of super soft velvety wool as in the rainbow wool in the first hat but the cream is an ordinary acrylic blend wool


This is a deceptively warm hat.Very thickly crocheted in cream acrylic blend wool and beautifully trimmed with white wool frilly lacy look edging.I think it might be a bit more modern looking without the flowers on it...
 My mother Molly who does all the knitting and crocheting for the MollysKnitted shop loves making the flowers and tends to put them on everything!But they could be easily snipped off without any damage to the hat if requested...


Another deceptively warm hat,very thickly crocheted.Perfect to keep the chill out on a winters day


The flowers work beautifully on this scarf!Looking like a heavenly garden border in full bloom...

The scarf itself is a bit wide and works equally well as a pretty wrap



This is a very very soft hat,the wool is of a velvet like texture,it is lovely to handle and warm too. It`s a bit like a Santa hat in reverse colours[there is a Santa hat available and an Elf hat!}



I love this hat.It`s a large hat and would fit a larger head size or a head with lots of hair.It`s just so pretty with all the frilly wool crochet layers it is really very sweet!

Plump and Pretty Cosy Colourful Cushions

If you want to lay asleep amidst the flowers for more than acouple of hours then these beautiful flower festooned cushions might be just the thing for you....
 Pink Frilly Cushion

This baby blush pink colour cushion is the sweetest and most girly of all the cushions.It has a pretty little daisy garden of white flowers on each side.

There are two cushions in white.This one has more creamy white wool in it than the other.There is also a slightly shiny pearly look thread running through the cream wool used.There is a pretty little flower garden of pastel pink and blue flowers on each side.
 White Heavenly Cushion
This is the most unusually coloured cushion of all of them.The pink blue and green layers on this side are reveresed on the other,with the green being in the centre and the pink on the outside.I can`t help thinking about the hanging gardens of babylon when i look at it,it is so lush...
 Rainbow Flowery Cushion


This blue cushion is the most loosely crocheted of all the cushions
 Beautiful Blue Cushion

The peach wool used in this cushion is a heavier type of wool not at all like the acrylic blend wools used for all the others.It is a bit like a cotton yarn
 Peachy Cushion


I know i should tag this cushion 'shabby chic' but the 'shabby' bit does not come easy! It has huge bright blooms on both sides in an almost patchwork like style.

 Lacy Edged White cushion

This gorgeous garden flower bed of a cushion shabby chic style  recently sold.


This lovely yellow cushion was unexpectedly tricky to photograph.I think the delicate pale pastel yellow wool used is much prettier in reality.

Hackers






I just logged in to do a lovely post full of lovely new Mollysknitted items.There are half a dozen new pretty cushions now for sale on my Mollysknitted Etsy site and i found all these weird chinese folders in Google docs.What on earth are they?I have no idea and no interest.I have not got the time to translate all this.Hoping publishing it might put them off.

It spoils my lovely blog of lovely handmade items,but not for long!And anyway on an aesthetic level i think the chinese writing is a bit pretty anyway!
