As I promised in this week's
WIPW, I would share the hat that I made for my friend and lovely writing critique partner for FO Friday. We decided to do a swap, she would make me a necklace, I would crochet a hat for her! Of course, I was stupid enough to send her the hat before getting good pictures, so I apologize for these terrible iPhone ones. I've asked her to take better pics once she gets the hat, so keep your fingers crossed. If that happens, I'll swap them out.
I love how this hat turned out and plan to make one for myself! You can find the pattern
here.
Materials used:
5.50 mm (I) hook
Caron Simply Soft (Hat-
black), Debbie Bliss Stella (Flower-
Magenta)
Yarn needle
I worked on the hat from September 24-27 (though it's a fast hat to make and could probably be completed in 1 day).
Share your FO projects!
Very cute! Love the flower..
ReplyDeleteI did successfully make a baby hat for my friend's baby shower in a couple of days. But when I tried making a hat for me it just did not work out. I tried 4 different times and a couple of different styles and I just could not do it. but I will try it again sometime!
Hi Tami! Gosh, I'm fairly new here, and I forget you have FO Friday! You've gotta make a blog button for it, so I can put it on my sidebar. (Where are my manners? Pretty please, if and when you can!) My sidebar can oftentimes be just as much a personal calendar and bulletin board for ME, than it necessarily may be for decoration/anyone others' benefit! LOVE your hat, and that you could trade with a friend!! That's always fun! LOVE the Caron Simply Soft yarn too! I'm making my sweater with it right now, and it's perfect, I think, with just the right feel and that little bit of sheen to it!.. I REALLY am tempted to make a second one!... Have a great weekend! ~tina
ReplyDeleteI actually have a FO post this Friday so I've linked up, after the success of managing a WIPW post as well!
ReplyDeleteI love this hat! I definitely want to make one too!
ReplyDeleteTrisha, thanks! The tricky thing about hats is to figure out if they will actually fit once you finish the increase. I seem to always have to add a row or two of increase before continuing onto the rest of the pattern.
ReplyDeleteTina, what a great idea! I'll try to make one for WIPW, FO Friday and FYS in the coming weeks. :) I don't love the feel of Caron Simply Soft when crocheting with it, but do love the end result look and feel! I just have to get used to its slipperiness when crocheting. Thanks for posting!
CraftyCripple, thanks!
Alea, totally make this hat. It's cute on and fits great, too!
what a cute hat! the flower makes it even cuter!
ReplyDeleteThat hat looks very stylish. Reminds me of the hats back in the 1920's Flapper days.
ReplyDeleteI posted my somewhat FO.
Your hat makes me wish I knew how to crochet! Thanks for organizeing FO Friday!
ReplyDeleteYay! I finally have an FO to Friday about. Very exciting. And love the hat! It's got a vintage feel to it that's really cute. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteSorry for my silence this FO Friday but I was out of town Friday morning- Monday night! I'll be looking at your posts shortly! Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteatangledyarn, thanks! I wasn't sure about the flower at first, but I think it really adds something.
Denise, I think it is a modern take on the 1920's flapper. It kind of fits the same way.
Affiknitty, thanks! It's actually a very easy and quick hat to make.
Paula, thanks and can't wait to see what you posted!
