This is a free pattern from Joann Fabrics. I worked it up in Red Heart yarn and I still have enough in the skein to crochet a matching beanie. That will be my next project.
This hat was a purchased pattern. I used Bernat (green) and Red Heart (ecru) and followed the directions for the toddler size. Instead of using an I hook, I used an H. Guess what? It still came out adult size. Next time I will try using a G hook with 3ply yarn to see if I can get the size to come out correctly. I really loved the pattern - very easy and looks really cool, so I will definitely experiment with it.
I just finished this set! Very cute and it was a pattern in "Mother & Daughter Hat & Mittens". It took about 5 hours to finish the hat and mitten set. This will be a Christmas gift for one of my nieces so I made the toddler size.
This is my daughter Amy showing off the hat she made from my very first pattern. My niece Jennifer has also test the pattern for me. I will be selling my patterns for a reasonable price when I have finished setting up my web site.
Thanks to Amy and Jenn, I have the best testers out there!
