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!

My New Hat and First Pattern!!

I crocheted and tore apart, crocheted and tore apart a hat that I was making for a friend.  She had given me an "idea" of what she wanted.  She wanted it in off white and it seemed that everything I made just looked so boring!  Finally, after about 3 weeks of doing that, I came up with an idea for her.  She loved it, I loved it and I have even sold a few in my Etsy store!  Persistence pays off!

And...I just love the little flowers!  Sort of vintage looking, don't you think?


I  am currently working on writing my first two patterns and this is one of the two.  I think I am almost done.  I am making one more hat to test it before publishing it.  Being my first pattern, it will be a freebie.

Keep your eyes open for it!
