It's a pleasure to greet you here. Although I understand that the purpose of this community is oriented to the publication of content on Mondays, I dare today to share with you all my participation in the challenge proposed by our dearcalled [Challenge: Christmas exchange of handmade
I was a little worried that I would not be able to participate, due to my daily occupations during the week and the little time I can dedicate to other tasks. However, I am pleased to be able to share my handmade gifts, particularly in the crochet technique. I made a Christmas hat and a small guitar.
Below, I will explain a little about how my experience was and to whom I have decided to dedicate these little details.

Christmas hat
It is one of the elements that most attracts my attention at Christmas, along with the tree. However, due to time and other factors I decided to look for options to knit a small miniature Christmas hat. It wasn't easy, I ended up looking for help and changing a little bit the steps to make it. The truth is that it was not perfect and I apologize for that to the person to whom I dedicate it. Below, I leave you the video I took as a reference for its realization, in case you feel like it.
In short, since I started to make the slip knot everything started wrong. So I had to drop the knitting and replace it with a circle of six chains joined by a slip stitch. From that change I started to knit the loops similar to the ones explained in the video, although they were not perfect I managed to assemble the hat. And this is how it turned out.
I dedicate this lovingly handmade gift to our partner at Hive, along with my best wishes for her this Christmas.
Mini Guitarra
Mini Guitar
I tried to make something that represented him and that he feels identified with. So, without hesitation, since I thought of him I knew that the guitar would be a nice detail. Although I would have liked to represent the figure of an electric guitar I tried to do my best and this is what I achieved, following a tutorial that caught my attention to weave what would be a miniature classical guitar (it measures approximately 5 centimeters).
Below, I share with you the video that I took as a reference for its realization, I hope it will be useful.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, may Love, Peace and Union never be lacking in your homes.
