Happy Birthday Mom!

Took my hats and some cupcakes to the chemo ward this morning!  The nurses didn't know who I was but were happy to have hats.  My sister made it a point to tell them that I come every year and bring hats, I'm always glad she comes with me.   I am really missing my mom and next year will be 10 years, but it feels like it wasn't that long ago that I was with her. 

Hat 225

I know I used a pattern for this hat, but can't remember what it was.  I'll come add it if I remember.  Pretty hat using Caron Simply Soft yarn.

Hat 224

I always like to use the Homespun yarn because it's so soft and I love the texture!

Hat 223

Used some Grey and Variegated colorful yam to make this hat with some spike stitches!  So pretty and colorful! 

Hat 222

I used the Spike stitch to do Hat 222! I wanted to make sure you could see the neat stitch so I just made a couple rows with the variegated yarn.

Hat 221

I still have leftover Holiday Homespun yarn from Lion Brand! I love this yarn because it's got a thin gold thread through it so it's just a little glimmer in the red and the white! I used the Give it a Whirl pattern from Ravelry to give it a candy cane look!

Hat 220

For Hat 220 I used the Candy Puffs Beanie pattern from Busting Stitches! I used a pretty peach baby yarn so it's nice and soft!

Hat 219

I wanted to make a hat that could be worn by a woman or a man.  Used up some yarn I had to make a tri-color beanie!

Hat 218

Quick Slouch hat for 218!

Hat 217

For Hat 217, I had some leftover yarn from one of my trips to the mainland and I paired it with a thin white yarn to give it a little extra pattern.

Hat 216

Next week Friday I take my hats in! I've got them all done and have currently working on my Xmas crochet! Here is hat 216! I started it with some scrap yarn and then finished it with some Caron Super soft paired with leftovers from my shawl yarn!

Hat 215

Hat 215 is done with the Candy Puffs Beanie pattern!  It's hard to tell since the yarn is variegated, another hat to try and do with regular yarn!

Hat 214

Hat 214 is from from the Go with the Flow pattern.  It doesn't quite look like it because of the variegated yarn! I'd like to do another in a colored yarn so it can look a bit more like the pattern!

Hat 213

So this is a super scrap yarn hat!!   My husband said it needed a bit more than on it's own, so I figured I'd go super eccentric and add a bunch of flowers to it!  It's pretty funky and fun, I came close to keeping it!

Hat 212

I got this yarn in the mainland somewhere and I love it.  Its pretty enough to just make a whole hat looks super cute!

Hat 211

I have some extra Moroccan yarn left over from different projects.  I always love the pink, but didn't have enough for a whole hat.  Luckily it looks great with a off white yarn

Hat 210

Turns out I didn't have enough Red Heart Purple yarn so switched it to some of that cowl yarn that seems to be never ending!  I thought it made the hat looks kind of neat!

Hat 209

I had gotten some Lion Brand Heartland yarn a while back but didn't have that much left.  Just enough to pair the green, and blue with some white to make stripes! I had more than I thought at the end so added a the little extra!

Hat 208

A while back my sister had given me a cowl from the store that she didn't want.  I took it apart and that purple thin yarn has lasted me through so many hats!  Here it is with just some white yarn, looking all pretty!

Hat 207

So this yarn I had used to make the prettiest scarf for my Aunt!  It came out really nice and I had just enough to give this hat some pretty colored stripes!

Hat 206

Just some Red Heart With Love paired with some Variegated yarn I had in my stash!  Made it a little poofy and mushroom like for cuteness!

Hat 205

Hat 205 is more scrap yarn!!  Luckily a lot of my scraps aren't just small amounts but really the perfect amount for a hat with one or two other yarns.  I really like this black and white striped hat and all the yarns are really really soft!

Hat 204

A friend of mine had given me the grey poofy yarn a while back.  I had made Hat 179 with it and still had some to spare.  It's such a soft yarn that I really wanted to use it on a hat instead of somewhere else.  I just paired it with some thick red yarn.

Hat 203

I had just a little of this pink scrap yarn but it's so pretty I wanted to use it all up!  So I just put a cute little stripe in the hat to show off some color!  The Grey is a Caron Simply Soft yarn!

Hat 202

This past year there have been a few women protests.  My cousins live around the DC area and asked if I could make them some pussy hats!  So I made them a bunch, then made some for the neighbors and in the end I had one left!  Along with this hat having political connotations, in general I find them to be really cute hats!  So thought I'd throw it in for fun.  It's a Caron Simply Soft yarn paired with some shiny colored yarn.  Pretty holey so it can be worn when it's a little hot out.

Hat 201!

Been working half the year on random things for friends and family along with throwing in a hat here and there.  The past month I've been really focusing on making my hats so I'm not churning them out in Dec.  This year will be the year of the scrap hat!  I've been going through a lot of my scrap yarn so there are a few hats that are done with different yarns from that pile.

Hat 201 was using my Turkish scrap yarn.  I always loved this yarn and my scraps really make a nice hat! Just a basic HDC beanie!
