I've been in the hat making mood lately. They are so quick and easy to make, and there are so many cute patterns available, they are kind of addicting :)
I made the two hats in this post for my mother-in-law. I liked them so much I wanted to keep them for myself, they really turned out great.
The first one was made from this pattern. It consists of a "cloche" style hat with a wide brim and a large, multi-colored flower. I used two strands of a worsted weight yarn instead of sport weight like the pattern called for, and used a size L crochet hook in order to reach the correct gauge.
I attached the flower with safety pins so it can be removed or switched for a different colored flower.
It's SO HARD to take good, attractive pictures of a hat (and yourself) without help. This is the best I could come up with. I got tired of trying to look "good" so I just started making weird faces.
I almost like them better :)
The second hat I made from this pattern. The pattern is called "Elegant Hat'." I REALLY liked this one, and actually tried making one for myself, but the color of yarn I used the second time was awful, and it ended up being too small, so I gave it to Madelyn. It looks pretty cute on her.
This hat has a band that was made using reverse single crochet, something I haven't tried before, with a bow attached to the band.
Here's another "pretty" picture.
This is a good look for me :)
