Purple Bow Hat

There are hats like these all over the internet, especially Pinterest. This is just my version. I love the way this purple seems to pop! There will be a pattern for this coming soon. I just need to finish drafting everything up and getting it rolling.

Curly Q Hat

I did a few hats to donate to a silent auction at my church. This is one of the hats that I whipped up. I tried to do things that were cute, yet really pretty easy to do. So this is a newborn beanie with scalloped edging and the curly q's on the top. You can use any size beanie, the pattern posted below is the one I used. It is for a newborn.

Curly Q Baby Hat

Hook: Sz K

Yarn: At least 4 colors worsted weight yarn


Round 1: Ch 1, 6 sc in chain

Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around to end of round (12 sts) place marker

Round 3: 1 sc in next sc, 2  sc in next sc, till marker (18 sts)

Round 4: 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 2 sc in next sc, till marker (24 sts)

Round 5: 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, 2 sc in next sc, till marker (30 sts)

Round 6: 1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, 2 sc in next sc, till marker (36 sts)

Round 7: 1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, 2 sc in next sc, till marker (42 sts)

Round 8-14: SC to end of round

Round 15: Change color so show scalloped edge. SC in first st, 3 DC in next st, repeat till end of the round. Tie off

Now it's time to make the Curly Qs for the top. I made two of each color but you can add more. I also played around with the length. Have fun with this and be creative!

Use K hook and ch 15 for a shorter one, 25 for a longer curl

V- stitch: SC into 2nd chain from hook, ch 1, SC back into same ch, ch 1. Do this down the whole chain and it will begin to curl like it does in the picture.

Attach the curls to the top of the hat. And there you have it!

Flower Hat

I made this hat for a friend that has her own photography business. She told me exactly what she wanted and this is what I came out of it. I must say I really love this hat. Probably not as much in real like but I like this as a photography prop. It's just charming and incredibly girlish. 

I will be getting a pattern out for this hat, hopefully quite soon. I just wanted to get some pictures out, because I was so pleased with the outcome of this hat!

Baby Minion Hat

Many people have become familiar with my Despicable Me Minion Hat Pattern. Now we have a a slightly revamped version for the little minion in your life.

All I did to mix this up was start with less stitches than I did in the adult sized one. I started with 54 stitches and basically guessed my way through the rest of the hat. I will say I think it turned out adorable.

Owl Hat Pictures

Many of you remember my owl hat I posted about here. I made these hats for someone that has their own photography business. I had gotten some pictures from her of the hats. Her pictures are obviously leagues better than mine.

Seriously how adorable?! I am still drafting up the pattern for this hat. It will come eventually!

Hoppin' Hat

I always see the cutest hats around the internet. I see loads upon loads of ideas that I couldn't even hope to attempt them all. My Ravelry queue is packed and I have a whole file full of ideas. This one, however made it out of the to-do box and onto my faithful model, Jasmine.

It also made it onto an actual baby. This picture was taken by Stefanie at BP Studios. If you in the metro Detroit area check her out here!

I used size 10 needles and worsted weight yarn. Cast on 52 stiches. Work in a 2x2 rib pattern for about an inch. Then switch to pink yarn. Knit only in the round for about an inch and a quarter in the pink. Switch back to gray for the next inch. Then switch to blue and knit for an inch and a quarter.

Now here is the trickiest part of this whole hat. take half your stitches and put them onto a spare needles or a scrap of yarn. Then you join the first set of stitches into a round. Switch into the gray yarn and knit about 5 rounds. Switch to your dark pink and knit for five rows. Switch back to gray and knit about five rows. Then switch back to green. Here I just knit until I felt like the ears were long enough. Then I decreased as following:

- *knit 3 k2tg* till last set of 5 stitches. this one I knit one then k2tg twice

- knit a round

- *k2, k2tg* till end of round

- knit a round

- *k1, k2tg* till end of round

Take remaining stitches and tie them off.

Then do the other ear in the exact manner.

To get this hat to scrunch up like that all you need to do it take some scrap yarn and a plastic needle. I just slid the yarn through the hat until I achieved the desired effect.

Then your hat will look at fabulous as this...

Oh Jasmine, my ever faithful model. I wish her head was a tiny bit bigger, but for now she will have to do. I think I just need one of my married friends to have a baby I can outfit in all this stuff!
