{made} — vanilla berry baby hat.
Over the holiday weekend we attended a fun baby shower for our friend who is expecting a little girl in a few months. I wanted to make something cute with only a touch of girly, I like to keep things more simple. I decided on crocheting up a hat, I know LA is warm and babies don’t need hats as much, but this pattern worked well I thought because it was pretty open and airy. I used a cotton blend yarn so that too will help keep her cool.
I modified the pattern a tad, I eliminated the few rows of single crochet around the brim, just left the shell edging because I thought it was daintier for a little girl. Also, did the last two rows in a contrasting rose color.
Congratulations Kelli and Mike!
The pattern is available for free on ravelry.
{made} — brown bear hat
Not sure why I call this project that, but for some reason it just clicked. It’s such a fun looking hat, I was going to make this for my father-in-law, but it came out WAY TOO SMALL. It is almost to small for me and my head is pretty petite. This was one of the few times I checked my gauge before hand too, it sucks that it isn’t accurate in the pattern.
Lots of seaming, which I tend to avoid, but this ended up being super cute, now I just have to work on getting the size right for a guy.
The pattern, Lidsville by Kellen Wallis, can be found in this book.
