Week of Hats: Day 4

Festive cable knit beanies with detachable pom poms. I am so excited about these pom poms! They just open up a door of possibilities--for myself and those who buy/wear my hats.

Festive Cable Knit Beanies

I made this hat in two sizes because the first one came out too small (like they often do). Anna is wearing the child size, but sports both versions of the pom poms. Ah, the beauty of innovation...

Week of Hats: Day 2

Today is Tuesday and here is your second dose of hats for this very special week. I found this pattern online through Ravelry and made both versions of this hat earlier this year. These are closely my favorites of the bunch. Enjoy!

Spring Beret

The citron is the regular version and the eggplant is the extra slouchy version.

I believe that I used needles one size smaller than the pattern called for. I also freestyled on the increase a little bit to add some extra detail. The only tricky aspect of this pattern is making sure that you keep your stitches straight; I had to troubleshoot on a few occasions, but I really like how they turned out.

Week of Hats: Day 1

I recently added a bunch of my projects to my Ravelry account. And to show off my work (and diligence) I began posting each item to my Facebook page one at a time. It dawned on me yesterday that I should have done this through my blog instead. Thus the Week of Hats is born. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Flower Hat

I made this hat while on vacation in Maine this summer. The pattern for this cap is from Narumi Ogawa's Mr. Funky's Super Crochet Wonderful and was the perfect project for a road trip from Maine to Massachusetts. The flower is detachable and my good friend Anna models it very well.
