Hats, Hats & More Hats

Some ladies in my church have been knitting and crocheting hats to donate to charity. I chose to crochet my hats, because I'm much better and faster with the hook than with knitting needles. My goal was to crochet 10 hats. I was able to finish 13 hats before the collection day.

Newborn Elf Hat

I crocheted this newborn elf hat as a baby gift for a good friend. She picked out the cute aqua and orange yarn to match a baby blanket she made . I love this hat. It's so cute, and quick to make up.

Cable Knit Hat

I forgot to make note of when I started this hat, but I’ve been working on it for a few months, a little at a time. It’s the first thing I’ve knitted in the round. I like how it looks, and I learned how to do a double decrease. The only thing I would change is I would make it a little longer. I wanted a hat that would cover my ears, but this doesn’t quite make it. I was so happy to finish it, that I was not about to frog it halfway to make it longer. Maybe I'll give it to iBob and I’ll make another one for me!

Kaitlin's Hat

Here is another Jack & Jill hat made for E's friend Kaitlin.

Jack & Jill Hat

With all the birthday parties my kids are getting invited to this month, I decided to make these cute hats. It kills two birds with one stone, an almost free gift and use up my fabric stash. It came together quite easily. The hardest part was trying to decide what fabric to use (isn't that always how it goes, though). This one was for my niece who turned 2 yesterday. Now, on to the next one for E's friend who is having a B-day party tomorrow night. Thanks to my friend,Tresa, for buying the pattern and letting me borrow it!
