New Hats Coming Soon!

I am constantly making new things, especially around the holidays. Unfortunately, time doesn't always allow me to take pictures of every custom order or gift that I make. Once in a while however, I do get a few shots in.

A few weeks ago I was asked to make two little hats for the daughter of a friend at church. It was a thrill to make tiny hats in vibrant colors, and it inspired me to make some more.  Below are those two hats and an additional two that I made shortly after. I will most likely be listing them in my Etsy store soon.

And of course, I couldn't forget the boys so I made this one which will be going to a friend's little boy soon. I made him one when he was born, but he has outgrown it already.

And I was feeling left out, what with making hats for everyone but myself, so I made myself one too.

You can wear the flower in the front or on the side, but I prefer mine on the side. I will probably be listing this on my Etsy store also.

Special Request

This week I got a special request to crochet a toddler hat based on a picture. This was really exciting for me because I've really been enjoying doing more crocheting, but I was getting sick of making slippers. Plus, this hat is adorable; I wish I could claim that it was my idea! Now that I've made this one though, I'm going to try to come up with some others with a similar style but my own spin on them.

This is the original picture...

And this is the one I made...

Now obviously this person has more talent for taking pictures; I still have a lot to learn in that area, but I think I did a pretty good job matching the design. The funny part is, other than the light pink, I already had all of these colors at home.

Here are some close ups of the hat...

If you have any ideas or requests for anything, let me know! I'm excited about trying new things!
