My latest crochet project, the "Woodland Hobbit Cardigan," is suitable for any hobbit wanting to stay warm and cozy. Fortunately I have a little time left to make a second one so the hobbits will not fight over it!

I purchased the pattern from SylvChezPlum's Etsy shop and I modified it some by changing the style of the sleeves and making it a bit longer and flared. I also added the mushroom patch/pocket (pattern from ch1306 on Etsy) and I used colors that reminded me of a forest at twilight. The original pattern is a bit more polished... I like to add a lot of whimsical elements to my work, mostly to create a distraction from the amateur and occasionally sloppy elements! If you happen to crochet, this is a very thorough pattern with great visuals and it is worth every copper! Finally, this little hat is warm and epic. While Lindon-inspired, it is still clearly a hobbit hat. I changed this up a bit too, but the basic free pattern can be found on Ravelry.
