Minion hat

I made this hat up as I went. I started out using Sarah’srepeatcrafterme.com Owl hat child size.. Like the hats in previous posts. (I love her patterns!)
When I got to round-9 I changed the yarn to black and followed the instructions for rounds 9-11 in black, then changed the color back to yellow and finished rounds 12-13. Then I did 1 round in blue of DC’s and followed the instructions to finish the hat. I made a single eye like the owl eyes only the final round of single stitches using gray, I worked in on the chain loop facing me only so that it made the gray/silver look more 3-D to look like goggles. 
I did use a G-hook because I wanted the hat smaller.

Happy Crocheting!

Crochet gifts are not cheap. They are made with love!

Something to think about!

More owl hats by Knotty Becca!

Another owl hat that I churned out. These are so much fun!

 

 

This hat is being modeled by the one and only Hulk Hogan. :) Not bad on such a short notice!

This is not my pattern. I have to give all the credit to fellow crafter, Sarah @RepeatCrafterMe.com.
Her patterns are so well written, and she has graciously shared several of her patterns on her web site.


Happy Crocheting!

Dealing with life.

I am behind is sharing my latest crochet projects because life has tossed a monkey wrench so to speak in the works.
On July 29th I was diagnosed with Sarcoma Cancer.
Here is my personal blog with updates as I need to rant while waiting for tests, and surgery and lastly prognoses. http://her-royal-highness-blog.blogspot.com/
I have been crocheting a couple hats. It seems morbid, but I was planning ahead in case I need chemo. Wow that sounds depressing! Enough hats for now.



Happy Crocheting!

Sun hat for Red Hats Gal

My Mother-In-Law belongs to “Red Hat Society". I wanted to make her a Red Hat that no other hatter would wear. (Her in my creation at the bottom)
The inspiration for this hat came from Clare of “BobWilson123”. In her pattern and YouTube video she shows how to make a basic mesh hat and a brim that can be used on any hat pattern. So I took this pattern and ran with it.
See it here on Ravelry

I used a G-hook for hat and brim. She suggests a smaller hook for brim that resulted in a ruffly looking brim.
I used 2 colors of Carron worsted weight yarn. (acrylic yarn makes it stiffer I feel).
I mostly followed the pattern directions with some minor changes for the look I wanted.
With color “A” I worked rounds 1,2,3 & 4 skipped 5 My head measured approx 22 inches (the cap turned out too big with this round) I worked 6 rows with color “A” of round 6 and 3 rows with color “B”.
Brim: With color “A” worked round 1 skip to round 3 (rnd 2 made it too “ruffly”) Worked 10 rows, finish with a few slip stitches. The second hat, this white and black one only took 3 hours to hook!

I added some Roses
directions HERE and Wa La!

My Mother-In-Law. She's so "Sassy"!

Not just the wind whipping things up!

These last few days has been really windy here in Sacramento, CA. So I don't feel like working out in the yard much. SO I chose to crochet.
This is what I whipped up.
A shower slash kitchen scrubby by Andrea with the fiber forum. Pattern here.

I already tested it out in the shower this morning. (No pics of that) :)
