Crochet Hello Kitty Stuffed Toy

I found a pattern for this Hello Kitty toy here.  I did have to make a few changes to the pattern because of the different textured yarns that I was using.  I also bought 12 mm eyes because my Hello Kitty worked up larger than the one in the pattern.  I made a bow instead of using a rosette to match the little hat I made in this post.

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.

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.
