Numbered Hats

Mike and his friend asked me to make them numbered hats to match their coats they wear in their snow board races.  Don't judge them too hard this was my first attempt at something like this.  I made a graph in excel and tore apart my hats many times.  I don't plan on making more anytime soon:)

Below is one of the coats Mike's mom embroidered a few years ago for them.

Earflap Hats from Creativeyarn

I made these Earflap hats from the blog Creativeyarn in this post here.  I did change the earflaps a little bit.  I couldn't get the circle ones to work out.

I gave the blue and black one to a friend.  I tried to do the earflap strings a little different.  They didn't turn out exactly how I imagined them to.  I think I will stick to braids.

This black and white one is for a friend for Christmas.  I really like how this one turned out.

I left a flower off the purple one.  My friend this one is going to doesn't like things to be to girly.  Me, I like the flowers.

Hello Kitty Crochet Hat

I made this hat for my friend's daughter for Christmas.  I got the free crochet pattern from here.

December 2011 Basic Beanie

Yes, I have made more beanies.  My request list for them doesn't ever seem to shrink.  I have another post of these here.  There is a new "snow camo" hat I made for a friend's son (it's not the same one from my prior post).  He wanted a hat to match the one he saw Mike wearing.

Mike wanted a hat made out of the gray yarn that I made the Baby Bear hat out of.  He wore it for a couple of hours until a friend of his said he wanted a hat like the one he was wearing.  Mike gave the hat to his friend and now I need to make him another one.  Good thing I still have more of that yarn.

Mike thought he needed to include Mustard in his picture.  Poor thing didn't expect to be hanging out on his head!

I'm off to make more hats.  I have many more I need to make before Christmas.

Crochet Angry Birds

I am so excited about the crochet Angry Birds I just made!  I had a lot of fun making these, and it was nice to take a break from hats.  This is my first attempt at making a toy and I really enjoyed it.  I found free crochet patterns for these on a blog Crafts by Starlight.  She has some fun items I want to try out.

Here they all are hanging out on my mantel.

Red Angry Bird.  He probably looks the angriest:)

Black Angry Bird.  He is my favorite and the first one I made.  I love his head feather.

Blue Angry Bird.  He turned out a little goofy looking.  I don't think I got his eyes on right.



King Pig.  I'm glad there was a pattern for a pig.

Cloche Hat

Below is a crochet Cloche hat I made for my friend.  I have made this hat before in this post.

My little sister was nice enough to model this hat for me.

Flower Headband

I made a flower headband for my friend's daughter.  I had some extra green yarn from a different project I am working on (hopefully it will be on here soon) and decided to use some of it for the headband.  I have made this project before in this post.

My little sister was nice enough to be my head model this time!
