Green Hat Finished

The other night I finished a hat--

 to go with this scarf--

I decided to not put a flower on the hat. I really, really liked it until I tried it  on. No way could I wear it. It is very, very tight. The brim is too large and obstructs vision although the brim probably could be turned up for a different look. My crochet stitches are loose so I was surprised at the tight fit. This hat will be frogged and become a new project. I do like the looks of this hat and the great way the pattern was written. I may try this hat again with a larger hook and take off a row or 2 on the brim.

It's almost Christmas so I hope everyone has caught up with their holiday chores and are enjoying the season with family and friends.

Hugs to all,

Sharon

If you were here earlier, you may have noticed a problem with the pictures displaying. I have fixed this now (fingers crossed). Thanks for your patience.--S.

Two Finished Projects

I just finished making the seafarer's cap.  Here's a look at how it turned out--

I was a little concerned about how to join the ends together and I did some googling and found a great video on Youtube that shows how one lady did it, It was really simple and I was making a big deal out of nuthin. :)



Earlier this year I made a hat for myself and I just finally made a scarf to match. Here it is--

Pattern

It is a bit hard to see the colors here but it is a variegated brown color. I'm a bit limited with my photos lately since I forgot my camera in Kentucky and I didn't bring my styrofoam heads to put hats on.

Crochet Hooks

Hat and Scarf Set

Just finished a hat and scarf set for a Christmas present. Here it is:

Hat pattern here

Scarf pattern here

I've used both of these patterns many times before. I know I tend to get "hooked" on certain patterns and make them over and over. This time, instead of the bow the pattern calls for or the flower I usually put on the hat, I used a different flower and you can find the pattern here. I put a button in the middle of this flower to dress it up a bit.
