My New FUN SUN Hat

I used my Vintage Cloche pattern to make this fun hat in cotton.  (The pattern is below in a previous post.) I changed the brim a little by making my first two rows "1 sc in first st, then 2 sc in 2nd st, repeat around TWICE).  I did not need to do any more increases after that! I added a few extra rows to the brim to make it more of a sun hat.  The yarn used in this hat is Peaches n Cream but plan to make my next one using Hobby Lobby's I Love That Cotton Yarn!

You may want to use a size larger hook if your cotton yarn seems a little heavier than your acrylic, which I think this particular yarn does.

The bow is from a pattern by Tara Murray (Mamachee) so I cannot share that pattern but there are plenty of bow patterns out there for free!

Enjoy!

And the WInners Are......

Mary Lou Ruiz!!!  Congratulations!  

and Jo Anne Zavala, congratulations!

I will mail it tomorrow!!  I will send an email requesting your mailing address!

Another Giveaway (see my first one also)

I bought this yarn and cannot use it because it has wool in it.  I am allergic to wool but I know someone, somewhere can use it.  It is three skeins of Lion Brand, Wool Ease, 6 oz. yarn.  See my other giveaway.  I will pay for postage just to find it a good home and make someone's day.

Drawing will be Saturday, June 21st.  Please leave your name and email address.  I will notify the winner and post it on here next Saturday!

Thanks,
Janice

Yarn Giveaway

We are moving and I am consolidating and purging.  I found this yarn that I have been storing and, at first, I was going to give it to Goodwill.  Then, I remembered how some of the ladies on the blogs and Facebook pages I am a member of were so excited when they found yarn bargains at yard sales.

On that note, I want to say, yes, some of the yarn has been used, mostly when I was re-learning how to crochet a few years ago, but I switched to different yarn after I started selling on Etsy and I hate to see this go to waste.  If you like Red Heart Super Saver or Craftsman yarn, then this is for you.

I will do a drawing on Saturday, June 21st, and will send this yarn to the winner free of charge, even paying for the postage.  It has been stored in a smoke free, pet free home.

If you are interested, please leave your name and email address below so that I can let you know if you win.  I will also post the winner next Saturday.  I know it isn't much, but free is free and someone would love to have it!

Thanks!  Good luck!
