My Favorite Elf Hat

This was one of the first items I made up on my own, back when selling was my focus.  I think it is still my favorite hat to make and wear.  I will be making a few new ones this year.  I have the pattern listed as child 3-10, though the hat easily fits me, as well.  Really I think it's more of a one size fits most.  Gotta love a mostly universal pattern!  :)

Look how little my girlie is, in this picture!  Picture was taken a couple years ago.

What you will need:
I hook
Worsted Weigh Yarn (4 weight)
Scissors
Yarn needle

Cozy Cowl

There is nothing that I love more than a super simple crochet pattern.  This pattern is exactly that. 
I made this cowl with Homespun yarn.  It is also extra wide, so when it is worn as a cowl it is super cozy and it is wide enough to pull over your head. 
 

Cowl worn like a hood.

It not only fits my daughter, but it also fits me.  Guess that is something else that I love, a pattern that is versatile enough to work for almost everybody!
Ok, onto the pattern.

Adult Size Breath of Spring Hat

After posting the Toddler Breath of Spring Hat (pattern can be found here), I had a lot of requests for an adult size pattern, so here it is....FINALLY!  I know it took a while to get this finished.  I thought I would have been able to crochet this up sooner, but between wip's and family, it took some time.  Thanks for being so patient with me and understanding.  :)

Adult Bulky Beanie

It was suggested to me to make a pom pom hat, like the red infant hat.  I thought it was a fun idea, but was going to wait until the next hat season to make it.  That was until I received this in the mail:

My very own goodies!

Yep, my mom stuffed some homespun into a goody box that was for the kids.  *I* got some goodies, too.  :)  (Thanks mom!)  It was such a wonderful surprise.
Since I had some new yarn, I decided to sit down and work something up.  I decided not to put poms on this hat, but you could EASILY add them.
I LOVE how this yarn worked up.  The colors are gorgeous.  The hat itself works up really quickly and is easy to make.  This is what I came up with.

First pattern of the new year!

I. am. back!!!  It has been a longer break than I had intended, but a much needed break.  Things got crazy around here for the Holidays.  We went back home for Christmas and we were there for a week.  After we got back from vacation, my son still had another whole week off from school.  YAY!  I love having him home.
Now that the Holidays are over, I am getting back into the swing of things.  Last night I wrote up 3 patterns and I still have so many ideas swimming in my head.  I can't wait to get them all worked up!
The first pattern that I am posting is for a newborn hat.  It is made with Homespun yarn.  I use to hate working with Homespun, but have found the love for it.  I can't get enough of homespun!
This hat works up SO quickly!  I can work it up from start to finish in about 30 minutes.

Crochet Earflap Hat

I love this hat pattern.  I use it all of the time.  You can change it up a million different ways.  Most character hats start out as either a basic beanie, or an earflap hat.  It just depends on what you put on the hat.  This is a great pattern to get you started!

I did it again!

After buying the Hanging Key hat pattern from Hooked in Yarn, I started to oogle another pattern, her Zaggin hat.  Guess what...I caved.  I bought the pattern and I am SOOO glad that I did!  How awesome is this hat?

Zaggin Hat

 I love her patterns.  The Zaggin hat is so much fun.  I can't wait to make a Christmas colored one.  Can't you just see it in red, green, and white?  

Not only have I been busy with the patterns that I bought, I have also been lucky enough to test a couple of patterns for her.  She is so talented! 
This is her Twisted Lines Hat.  I have claimed this hat as my own.  Yep, this year I have a brand new Winter hat.  :)

Twisted Lines Slouch Hat

This is her With A Twist Hat.

With A Twist Hat

I can honestly say that I don't know which hat I like better.  If the With A Twist fit me, I think I would have two new hats.

If you are looking for new crochet patterns, you have to stop by and check out her page!

Fun new hat!

It is not very often that I will buy a crochet pattern, but when I can't get something out of my mind for a couple of days I tend to cave.  This is one of those times.  A few days ago I saw a fb post for a really fun looking hat.  I tried to talk myself out of buying the pattern, I really did, but when I saw that there was a sale on the pattern I couldn't stop myself!  How can you pass up a sale?!
This is what I spent most of yesterday working on.

New hat.  Pattern by: Hooked in Yarn

Yep.  3 hats in one day.  It's not often that I am given that kind of time by my kids, but when I told them they could have what I was working on they were a bit more patient with me.  These are great in team colors!  (that is my orange and blue OKC Thunder hat.  THUNDER UP!)  I love the striped affect in the hat.  How pretty would this be in pink and purple?!  My daughter would LOVE that. 
These hats have a fun little surprise.  They have a great reverse pattern.  This is the hat inside out:

Reverse side

How fun is that?!  2 very unique looks in one hat.  It's not very often that the inside of a hat looks as good as the inside.
The solid color hat is just as fantastic!  It has a wonderful texture.  I find the texture very fun.  So much more interesting that the typical HDC or DC that is usually seen.  I love that it's not just ribbed, but an actual texture throughout the hat.

Solid color. 

All in all, I am VERY happy that I broke down and paid for a pattern.  I think this is the best buy that I have had in a long time.  I now have my eyes on another hat pattern of hers AND she has another item coming out in THIS pattern.  I can't wait to see it!!!

Yay Autumn!

This is by far my favorite time of year.  At least it is back home.  It is still in the 90's in OK.  :( 
Not only am I excited that it is Autumn, I am excited because this is my busy time. 
I haven't gotten a whole lot written up in the last week because I have been working on orders.  I think my best seller right now is a Mummy Hat.  I was lucky enough to get in as a tester for the pattern! 

Mummy Hat.  Pattern by: Mamachee
Finished hat made by me is available on Etsy!

Isn't that hat great?!  I wish I had thought up the pattern.  Mamachee has some great patterns.  I have a number of them and plan on getting more.  :)

I am trying to work on some Christmas patterns.  I have some ideas written out and can't wait to work them up! 
I hope you are all enjoying much cooler temps that I have been having. 
If there is something that you are hoping to see a pattern for, let me know!  I am always looking to add to my library!

The adult hat is identical to this, only bigger.  (of course)

Ask and ye shall receive!
Last week I had a blog visitor ask me if I had an adult size pattern for my Pumpkin hat.  For some reason I hadn't thought of writing one.  I am so glad that it was asked!  Over the weekend I sat down and wrote up the pattern.  I hope you like it!  Now my daughter and I will have matching hats for the Pumpkin Farm in October!  She is just tickled pink that I have the same hat as she does.  :)

Post Holiday

How was your Labor Day Weekend?  I hope everybody had a relaxing weekend.
Our weekend wasn't much different than most weekends.  Unfortunately, I didn't get nearly as much done as I had hoped.  Somehow the weekend just flew by.   
Tomorrow is back to the grind.  My oldest goes back to school, which means I have to set my alarm.  :(
I plan on tomorrow being picture day.  I need new pictures of a few items, so I can get them listed on Etsy.  I need to start refocusing on selling.  It's hard to work with yarn and think of hats and scarves when it is still over 100 degrees.  I have to get started though! 

Basic Newborn Beanie Crochet Pattern

 This pattern can be embellished a bunch of different ways.  You can add ears for animal hats, custom color brims, attach a flower (or any kind of applique), add a pom or two, or just make it a single color.

Back to school

No, not for me.  For my son.  He had his first day of 3rd grade last Friday.  Why they started on a Friday this year, I will never know.  LOL!  With being busy with back to school stuff at the end of last week I decided to give myself the weekend off.  Boy was that nice!  We spent a lot of time playing with the kids outside.  It was a very good family time weekend.
I did work something up though.  It took all weekend because I was just doing a few rounds at a time.  Who says only the kids should have a fun hat?

Adult square pom hat

How great is that?!  I am going to be working on a child size, too.  I think this may be my next pattern. 
Tonight I will be trying to get a variety of coffee sleeves made.  We'll see how I feel after the kids go to bed.

Who says YOLO?

I have had so many ideas floating around in my head.  I finally sat down and worked one of them up.  Let me tell you, it feels GREAT to check something off of the list.  Of course, I finish one thing and think of three more.  LOL!
So, who says you only live once?  This hat takes care of that!

1-up Mushroom.  I am working on a red one, too!

I have to say, there is something strange about making something that feels like a blast from my past, but is still very popular today.  I think I made my son the happiest kid on the block, tonight.
Now, on to the next project.  :)

Slow couple of days

So...not much going on these last couple of days.  Not to say that it hasn't been busy, just not very busy with crochet.
My son starts school on Friday.  Can you believe that, a FRIDAY!  Is it just me or is that a little strange?  Today we went to his school to find out who his teacher is.  I am very happy to say that I think she is going to be wonderful.  I am having a hard time adjusting to the fact that I have a 3rd grader.  I don't know where the time goes.
With school starting that means that I will be working on some pre-k skills with my daughter.  Next year she will be old enough to start pre-k.
I am looking forward to the weather cooling off.  Well at least for it to start up north.  Here in OK we don't start to really cool down until November.  I really enjoy the busy crochet season.  I think I have a lot of really great new items this year.  I have a great child slipper that I will be debuting soon.  I am really excited about them.  I made a pair for each of my kids and they both like them.  It's not always easy to please them both!

Since I haven't really worked on anything new over the last couple of days,  I will leave you will something cute.  My daughter doing her duck face.  :D
