Crocheted Hats

April 19, 2011 by debi.

I have had a lot of fun this last week making lots of new crocheted hats for my website.  As I was looking at my inventory, I found that I was sadly lacking in summer cotton crocheted hats.  I decided that I would start crocheting hats last week, and it was so much fun.  Sometimes I get so focused on working on the website that I forget that I have to actually make new items, or it starts to look boring and stale.  So this week I will be adding 5 new crochet hats.  I have made two cloiches, and 3 lace beanies.  One of the cloiches is a little wild with a variegated pink and white yarn, but the other is fairly traditional, done in white with a denim blue yarn for accent.  

The pattern for the cloiche hats come from the book Vogue Knitting on the Go - Crochet Hats.  This is a fun little book with all kinds of patterns.  I think that you croheters out there, will find it fun, and the patterns are pretty easy.  If you are new to crocheting the patterns have easy to follow instructions.

I am including a link to a pattern for the Addison hat that I made.  I did not follow the instructons completely, but I will give the changes that I made.  I figure everyone can use a new crochet hat pattern.  I made this one in a denim cotton.  It works up in a couple of hours.  Rather then crocheting all of the rows, so that the hat folded up, I did just enough rows, so that the hat was a lace beanie.  The link below is to the hat pattern.

These are the other two crocheted hats, that I made last week.  If anyone is interested in the patterns, and I will be happy to send them away if you register in my blog or website www.dreamsbydebi.com .  

Since I knit and crochet a lot, I either watch movies or listen to audio books.  I don’t watch much regular tv, so I am always looking for new dvd’s or recording movies on my dvr from cable.  My kids and husband are always laughing at me, because I am fairly predictable about what I watch.  I tend to watch movies with a moral, apocolyptic movies, or chick flicks.  Some of my favorite movies that I have watched recently are Hidden Secrets, Walking on Water, The Secret of Jonathon Sperry, Day After Tomorrow, and of course my all time favorite Sweet Home Alabama.  Some of the books that I have listened to recently are Night Road by Kristin Hannah, The Brotherhood by Jerry B Jenkins, God’s Guest List by Debbie Macomber, and Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley.  I have been reading several books also The Edge of Apocolypse by Tim Lahaye, The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges, and I just got Vanished by Kathryn Markel. 

It has been an enjoyable week, but now back to the grindstone.  I actually need to work on the website, and finish my Small Business Marketing on a Shoestring class this week. I really enjoy writing for you, and would love to have you register on my blog or website, and I will be happy to send you a free pattern for a hat.
