Hat 69

 Hat 69 done with some light yellow Fun Fur yarn and Caron's Simply soft in Dark Country blue.  I only added a few rounds of yellow just in case the fun fur makes the hat itchy.  I don't think so though since they do hats, scarves, etc in the stuff.

Hat 68

Hat 68 is another quick simple soft hat.  The light blue is one of my few remaining balls of  bamboo yarn and the pink is Caron Simply soft.  I wanted to make a light summer hat which is why I used a DC instead of my normal HDC.

Hat 67

Simple little beanie cap with some light purple Bernat Baby's Breath on top and some Caron Simply Soft on the bottom in Plum.

Hat 66

For this hat I used the Addison Hat pattern from the JPF crochet club. I always loved this hat, though I hope the big holes won't be too much of a problem. The yarn used was Caron Simply soft in Ocean. Always takes me a while to get the hang of making this hat, but it's all worth it in the end.

Hat 65!

Hat 65 is some very very soft pink yarn twined with a shimmery satin type yarn all done with a HDC stitch. The finished hat was so soft and pretty, if I liked pink, I'd consider stealing/keeping it!

Hat 64

Hat 64 done in Sapphire Vanna's Choice Yarn and some yellow and blue fuzzy yarn that I had just a little bit left.

Half the year is done and I think I'll be able to make it so I have 25 hats when I drop them off. I've been doing other projects and somewhat feel no creativity when it comes to making hats. But I did buy a book that of edgings and trims so was thinking I would just make a bunch of beanies with some pretty trims to make life easy until I feel that spark again.

Hat 63

Not too long ago I bought a bunch of yarn from a lady. It had all kinds of fun yarn of varying color and amount. This was one of the yarns in that bunch. Since it was a striping type yarn the top of my hat turned out much different from the bottom. I thought it came out pretty neat looking overall.

Hat 62

Hat 62 is simple and soft with a little sparkle thrown in. The black is Caron simply soft yarn and the other is some yarn I had around. You can't see very well, but it has some nice pastel shades and a little bit of gold going through it. Simple and pretty, it's how I like it.

Hat 61!

Happy Mother's Day! Here is hat 61 I did recently and it has become one of my favorites. I've always loved crochet flowers but have a hard time actually doing them. I found this pattern, Butterfly, Flower and Leaf, over at Craft Passion and they were just so fun and easy to make I made a few just to keep around. So I made a simple HDC stitch hat with some off white yarn and put a few flowers on it with some of the same yarn tied around to make a thin band. I think it turned out very nice and plan on doing a few more with the flowers since I love those small little flowers.

Princess Peach Amigurumi

So after making those Mario Mushrooms and sending them out, my friend's daughter requested a Princess Peach. I only found a couple patterns online but nothing that I really liked since I wanted something a bit more simple. So decided to try it out using a different pattern.

First I tried using the Kokeshi Dolls pattern to make the Peach doll. I figured something a little different. It turned out okay, but not exactly what I was looking for. So that little princess went to my niece who seemed to love it.
I then took that same pattern and fiddled with it a bit and added arms. I even made the arms movable which I thought was pretty neat. I sent off the Princess Peach and I'm hoping she likes it. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Both dolls I used the Caron Super Soft since it has so many bright colors.
