Slouchy Shell Hat

Carter really liked this hat and it stays on his head!  This is another pattern I purchases on Etsy from Speckled Frog.  Yes, it was one of four patterns I purchased as part of the special she runs on her shop.  It is another pattern that is easy to follow and works up quickly.  I used Red Heart Super Saver.  You really should check out her shop!  :)

Newsboy Cap

This pattern has a little 'attitude' and is quite easy to work up.  The pattern can be made in masculine colors and is very suitable.  I purchased the pattern from speckledfrogcrochet on Etsy.  The direct link to the pattern is here.  The pattern is $4.99, but she runs a special of buy 3 get 1 free - so basically 4 patterns for $15.  She also allows you to sell the items that you make from the pattern.  The pattern works up in about 2 hours.

I used worsted weight yarn - Vanna's Choice Baby - it is such a soft yarn and you can purchase it at Ocean State Job Lot for $3 per 7oz skein.  In Michaels and other stores they charge more than that for the 3.5 oz skein.

Single Crochet Cap for Boys

My grandson, Cameron, requested a new hat :)  I made this pattern up as I went along.  I did not document it so will need to do that now that I see it!  I really like it and it has a much more masculine feel to it.  I used Red Heart Super Saver (worsted weight) and a J hook.  It took about 1.5 hours to complete.

Oh so cute...Cupcake Hat!

I fell in love with this pattern when I saw it on Etsy.  It is so easy to customize the colors and works up in a couple of hours.

I have not added the pom-pom yet (it makes it look like it has a cherry on top), but Gracie took the hat home :) so when she visits I will have to add it.

This is just such a fun way to use up scraps!

Check out the pattern on Etsy.  The Seller's Shop is YeahSureWhatever and the pattern sells for $4.00.

The pattern includes multiple sizes too!

Toddler Basketweave Earflap Hat

This is the basketweave pattern in a toddler size with earflaps added. This worked up in about 90 minutes as I had to write instructions during the creation. Gracie is modeling it - she is almost 3 so I suspect it would fit a 3-5 year old.

I am going to create this pattern for sale and will include the hat with and without earflaps.

This hat was worked in Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

Let me know what you think!

Adult Basketweave Hat

I posted this pattern the first time I created it, but it was with a variegated yarn and the basketweave was hard to see. This time, while I was capturing the instructions, I decided to use a solid color. It is much easier to see the pattern now. Let me know if you want to test the pattern out for me! I am planning on publishing this pattern for sale and will be including smaller size and male sizes as well. I used Bernat Berella 4 and a size H hook. It took me about 90 minutes to make, but I was also capturing the instructions.

Child's Granny Hat

This pattern worked up in about 40 minutes and only used about 1.5 oz of each color. Very easy to follow. The pattern is by Suzetta Williams and it is a free crochet pattern. You can visit her site here: http://suzies-yarnie-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/03/kids-granny-hat-c.html

She has a lot of wonderful free crochet patterns. You can also find her patterns on Ravelry.
