Hat 86

For hat 86 I used some black Bamboo yarn and grey bamboo yarn that has some silver and gold coloring on it.   The Edging was taken from the book Crochet Edgings and Trims.  In the end, a kinda neat looking hat.  I'd like to try the same style during Xmas with some red and white to make a candy cane hat.

Hat 85

Hat 85 made with Caron Simply soft yarn in a HDC stitch. I had some real pretty buttons that I added to the side for a little extra decoration.

Hat 83

I like hat 83 quite a lot.  I used a stitch that was in Crochet Edgings & Trims and  instead of just making it an edging, I repeated it throughout the hat.  I was thinking if I used different colors throughout it would look like a pretty flower garden.  I'll have to try that one day.

Organized Yarn!

For a while now I've thought about getting a yarn winder.  I kept putting it off thinking I could just hand roll everything and it would just be fine.  A couple weeks ago while looking at my yarn stash I could only shake my head at how unorganized and messy it was.  I went and ordered a yarn winder off of Amazon that same day.  After about a week of non stop winding I have the prettiest stash ever! I'm so happy and keep looking around the house for more yarn that I might have missed.  Definitely worth the money and finding yarn is just so much easier.

Hat 82

This past Xmas I was part of a secret Santa and my Santa got me these very cute ceramic butterfly beads.  My first thought was how cute they would look on a hat!  So I just made a basic hat and put on a cute little butterfly bead.  I love how much just a small touch can add to a hat.

Hat 81

For hat 81 I started the hat in rounds then changed it to rows to make it ribbed.  I recently bought a bunch of craft buttons so wanted to throw them into the mix too.  The hat turned out a little smaller than I wanted, but still seemed to work.

Hat 80!

Here is hat 80!  Made with some Red Heart Soft Yarn in light grey heather and some cute feather yarn in shiny pastels.   I think the feather yarn is so pretty but haven't really had a chance to use it, so I thought I'd try a little extra on this hat.  I might have added more but I'm worried it might make it a little itchy to wear.

Hat 79

For this hat I just used some basic acrylic yarn I had lying around and used a edging in Crochet Edgings and Trims book.  I like the way it came out, simple with a little extra.

Hat 78!

Hat 78 was done with some regular acrylic yarn that I had in my stash.  The light green almost feels like soft shoelaces.  Being that it was light and soft, I wanted to keep that part of the hat so just did a double crochet for that yarn.
