Hat 100!!

Hat 100!  For this hat I used the Marigold Hat pattern over at Mr. Micawber's Recipe for Happiness Blog I actually left out the Marigold since it's already a busy hat and I didn't want to over do it.  I will probably be making this hat a few more times and using the Extended SC since it makes the hat a little lighter without adding big holes. All done using Caron Simply Soft Yarn.   Yay for hat 100!

Yesterday was Mom's birthday and the day I usually try to drop off my hats, but being that it was Saturday they weren't open.  I also have family in town so I will probably try and drop off the hats on Tuesday of this week.  It's been a busy month and not much crocheting going on, but will be taking a trip which means airplane crochet time plus road trip crochet time maybe.

Hat 99!

Hat 99 was done with a thin shiny yarn I had around in a HDC stitch.  I tried a few different buttons and flowers, but found these two gold hearts a friend recently gave me.  Put them on and it seems to work nicely.

Hat 98

For Hat 98 I used some acrylic worsted weight yarn, I think it might have been Vanna's Choice, but not sure.  This hat was done in the same style of the Easy Sideway's hat, but with a twist.  After each color change I'd leave a long tail before and after and then at the end I made one big knot with them.  I like the way it turned out and plan on taking out all my colors of simply soft and making a crazy colorful hat with a nice rainbow tail. And if someone wants, they can always cut the tail a bit shorter if it's too annoying. 

Hat 97!

Hat 97 was made with some yellow fun fur and Caron Simply soft yarn.  I think I actually crocheted the hat around Easter and that's why I chose those colors.  I was crocheting in the spirit of spring!

Hat 96

For Hat 96 I used the Garden Party Hat pattern which I also used in Hat 90.  I actually made this one first and used Vanna's Choice yarn which made the hat a bit larger than I wanted so made Hat 90 with thinner Caron yarn make it a bit smaller. I'll probably add a bow or flower to add a little color before I give it away.

Hat 95

Hat 95 was made using one of the last few balls of my light blue Bamboo yarn and Caron Simply soft.  I used a edging from Crochet Edgings & Trims.  I had made this hat for a friend of my sisters but the edging I used had such big holes I decided to make another one with less spaces.  Time is moving quickly and Mom's birthday is coming up on the 8th.  I have 2 weeks to get everything ready to take down to the chemo ward.  Then time to begin another year of making hats.

Hat 94

For Hat 94 I had a ball of this chunky wool yarn.  I loved the colors so used the whole thing for the hat and just added a brim with some black yarn.  All done in HDC yarn.  The colors are much nicer than the picture can portray. 

Hat 93

I think this hat is made with Lion Brand Alpine Wool yarn.  I had an skein lying around from a previous project.  Since it's such a nice yarn, I wanted to have it stand alone.  Hat done in a HDC stitch.

Hat 92

Hat 92 is me trying to use up some weird green yarn I had.  It's almost like shoelaces but a bit softer.  Paired it with a Caron Simply Soft black yarn to make a simple beanie type hat.

Hat 91

Hat 91 is a simple hat made with Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice yarn in Denim Mist.  Even though it's simple, I really like this hat, though looking at it now, I think I will add a couple flowers before I sent it out to add a little extra color.
