I’m taking part in the monthly Crochet-Along hosted at the The Curious Pug!
This month it’s the slouchie beanie from Little Things Blogged. I didn’t get started right at the beginning of the month, partly because making wooly hats when it’s midsummer and 38 degrees celsius outside just feels wrong, but mainly because I only just finished making all he crafty bits for Christmas on Christmas Eve!
Christmas Day arrived, and with it grey skies, lots of rain and a need for jumpers, socks and wellies (obviously to stop us missing the UK climate!) Perfect time to make a hat then!
I struggled to decide on a colour to use, so decided to use all of them instead – stripes 🙂
I was impressed at how quick it was to make, by lunchtime on boxing day it was done!
If I had time before the end of the month I would make one of these crochet mannequins like Alycia has on her shop – such a cool idea, then I wouldn’t have to model it myself for photos!!
Here is my finished stripey hat 🙂
I love the candy colours!
Thank you 🙂
the colors are absolutely beautiful and your hat looks fantastic! for the mannequin head, i bought a white styrofoam one, and then altered this pattern a bit to fit it: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/96209767 (her shop is on vacation mode now though). thanks for participating!
Thanks, looking forward to the next one 🙂
I love how colorful your hat is!
Too adorable! Great job! I want to make one of those crochet mannequins to model for me, too. 😉
Ok – I LOVE your colorful stripes… wish I had thought of that… I think I will have to make another hat!!!
So many colours…. love it!
