Hat 60!

Hat 60 was made using the Lion Brand Easy Sideways hat pattern (need to sign in) with a little change on the end of the pattern. Instead of weaving it together I made a cinch tie on the top and attached a couple of pom poms. It can be worn as both a hat and a cowl and I've seen similar patterns online before. I would like to do this type again but next time using the Convertible Hat pattern. Yarn used was Michael's Loops & Threads in Neopolitan.

Hat 59

After doing Hat 52, I still had a little of the poofy yarn left over. So figure I'd just finish that last little bit off by pairing it with some regular green yarn I had. Nothing too complex, just something simple.

Hat 58!

So about a month ago I saw someone on craig's list selling some yarn. I went over to her place and she had a nice big tupperware full of all different types of yarn, from expensive silk to red heart. I gave her one price for everything and went home with all types of new yarn! This was one of the yarns that was in there.

Hat 58 was done with a HDC stitch. The yarn is actually a few yarns plus threads to make up a nice bulky yarn. I loved how the pattern in the colors turned out in this hat. I added a bit of simply soft Caron in natural to add to the overwhelming pink. There are a couple of rolls of this type of yarn that I have so expect to see similar yarn in future hats.

Hat 57

So I'm a bit hooked on joining yarns together. It makes the work go so much faster and I love the looks of 2 different yarns twined together. Here on hat 57 I had a very pretty pastel yarn and paired it with some Caron simply soft eco in Natural. I especially love joining yarns with the Caron simply soft line since I always found it to be slightly too thin but always loved how soft it felt. Whole hat done in a HDC stitch.

Hat 56!

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is hat 56 for mom! Simple hat using a HDC stitch and just some Caron simply soft eco in Chocolate and some pretty white yarn that has a slight sparkle and texture joined to form a neat design with a little bit of shine. I was able to make this hat rather quickly because of the joined yarn and I really like the way it came out.

Hat 55

For hat 55 I used 2 different yarns held together for the top. The colorful one was a puffy ball yarn I had and I just held it with a Vanilla Caron Simply soft yarn. I ran out of the color yarn so just finished it up with the Caron yarn on the bottom. All done with a HDC stitch.

Hat 54

Hat 54 is light and very soft. For this hat I used the same yarns that I used in Hat 30. I still had some of the soft dark blue yarn left and I loved the way Hat 30 looked, I figured I'd make another with the same colors. The whole hat except the brim has my Bamboo yarn and I just twined it with the darker yarn to make the stripes. All done in a HDC stitch.

Hat 53

So here we are with Hat 53. On the top is just a poofy type yarn I had in my stash and twined with some light grey yarn. When I ran out of the poofy yarn I just traded it for some Caron Simply Soft yarn but in blueberry to match the top part. I like the effect of the blue and grey together on the bottom, makes the blue look like it's shining in some areas.

Hat 52!

Hat 52 was done pairing 2 different strands of yarn. The first one was just some Caron's simply soft eco in natural and I paired it with some yarn that was brown with small little green, orange and brown puffs.I ran out of it near the end, so finished it off with just the natural. I'm glad I ran out since I think it looks great this way. All done in a HDC stitch as usual.

Hat 51 with the New Year!

A new year begins, and with that, a new batch of hats! Here is Hat #51!! The top yarn is my fav Bamboo yarn and the bottom is Lion Brand's homespun yarn all done with a HDC stitch. I made it extra long in case you want to cover your ears or flip it up. So soft and comfy that I'm thinking about making another just for me.
