Claire De Lune

I need to break them down twice to finally happy enough wit the result. From the beginning the name is Claire De Lune, in the process I called it Scary Night (my husband insisted to add people hung their head at tree branch on the chart). Yes and it was scary night until I attached the moon.
The bag is about (11x4x10) inch. Here are some pictures of the finished project

If you are interested in making one, leave a comment and your email address. I'll send you the color chart in excel workbook format.
Thx, Happy Crocheting!

Green Lantern Earflap Hat

Yes, and it's GREEN, honestly this is my firs hat project

A color work hat requested by my husband. He just wanted the green lantern symbol, and I'm the one who improvised. I don't know this is because the green color, or green lantern itself made him a huge fans of green lantern. All i know, he loves green (as a back up I start to make color chart for other lanterns)

With cotton yarn as the material, this beanie is warm enough but not too hot (as person who live in tropical region, the need of warm headcover is not primary, except if you are frequently hiking or camping on the mountain and sleeping in a tent, but my husband is getting cold easily-i wonder how-so a hat is necessary.
