Simple Slipped Stitch Hat

     I started (and finished!) this particular pattern on Thanksgiving day. Isn't it just lovely? I grabbed some random stash yarn that I have (Stash yarn NEVER ends! :P) and used up about half of it. I absolutely ADORE this hat!

 
A closer look at the stitch pattern...

      However, during the course of its creation, I broke my circular knitting needles. *cry*

     RIP 6 mm (I love you!)

A Simple Double Crochet Hat

     On November 25th, I'll admit that, hatwise, I was in a state of panic (not really, but it makes for a better story :) ). Mary and Paul had come over for an early Thanksgiving and, since they weren't going to be here for Christmas, I was going to give them their presents early.

     There was only one small problem... I hadn't even started Paul's hat, yet! 

     Thankfully, I found this beauty (which I can only say is an AMAZING hat!). It is super easy to crochet up, and I finished it the same day I started it!

Basic HDC Beanie

     This beanie was made for my nephew Aaron, whom I mentioned a few posts back. I used three different colors of blue. I think that the colors added a nice touch to an otherwise plain beanie! Plus, I got rid of some stash yarn, so that is ALWAYS a good thing!

A Milestone Reached

     My seven year old sister Hannah has finished her very first project! It is a baby hat for our niece Elizabeth that she made all by herself (including the bow)! Crochet on, Hannah!

Halfway There!

     Heart and Soul hat by MollyGirl Yarn was the perfect pattern for my "halfway there" pattern! I have now made 10 hats and 1 infinity scarf! Only 11 more to go! Woohoo!

Blue Moon Beanie

     This hat is another one of my creations. It's pretty much a basic ribbed beanie with a really cool crown. It was super fast to knit up and I had a lot of fun with it!

Just The Easy Bits...

     I have finally found a knit AND crochet pattern! I am so happy!
~Story Time!~
     As you have probably noticed, I have been knitting and crocheting hats like crazy lately as I try to finish them by Christmas! Unfortunately, I really don't like casting on that much. The creator of this pattern (Melissa Mall) is a like minded woman and created a pattern that is just MARVELOUS!



     It's so slouchy!
