It's snowing hard and is very nasty out. Kids are home for the day from school and I am desperately waiting for a call from the hubby. He drives and delivers Coca Cola to stores and I haven't heard from him since early this morning. So I need a diversion and some thing QUICK fixed!

12 rounds! Great and realy quick.Plus looks good! Hope you hubby is o.k.
ReplyDeleteThanks! he got home late, and a little stressed, but just fine :)
ReplyDeletePretty hat. I think I will give it a go. We have been stuck at home all week with snow and ice. My kids and I are suffering from Cabin Fever and are really getting on each others nerves! I need a hooky escape!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and so quick! I did this hat up in no time and my 5 year old loves it! Glad your hubby made it home ok.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful patterns!
I hope your husband's ok! I understand that you worry!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and warm beanie...thanks for the pattern. Please feel free to enter my Giveaway - that'll give you something to do for 2 minutes ;-)
So pretty! Hope your husband was fine. I understand! My husband does custom farm jobs and is always out in this nasty weather and sometimes is in areas with no cell coverage. It's enough to drive a woman a little crazy. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis hat is so pretty and I am going to give it a go right after I finish crocheting a baby blanket. So glad your Hubby made it home safely and you are back to posting patterns again. They are easy to follow and work up quick.
ReplyDeleteLove the hat pattern...thanks for sharing and glad to hear your husband was okay! Phew!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the right look I have been searching for. I would like to crochet a heathered gray hat for a little girl across the street; she just turned one. For her, I'm going to attach a gigantic crocheted flower as well. Thanks for sharing your patterns and talent with us!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all liked it. Wasn't sure about posting it. :) Have lots of fun and happy hooking
ReplyDeletelove love love!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone's feeling better! On rounds 5-8, do u keep going around, or slip stitch aT the end of each round

I love it! I will definitely be making a couple for my girls this winter.
ReplyDeleteI love this hat! Thank you for publishing your pattern. I am going to make two as gifts for my nieces this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern. I am going to make it as soon as I can get to the store and buy some yarn. My Granddaughter will love.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted to make this hat for an adult, how would I increase the size?
ReplyDeleteIts very cute. I made it today... but it fits me instead of my niece, I must crochet big, it measures 22 inches round. What does yours measure?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great hat, but I needed the hat to fit an adult. I took a chance and added a round to duplicate round 4, and it worked very nicely. The adult pattern reads as follows:
ReplyDeleteRound 4: as written
Round 5: repeat round 4
Original rounds 5-8 now become rounds 6-9
Original rounds 9 & 10 now become rounds 10 & 11
Original round 11 becomes round 12
Original round 12 is your final round
I hope this helps all who want to make this for a teen or adult.
Again, GREAT pattern for child or adult!
I never crocheted a hat before, but am going to give this one a try. It doesn't look very hard. And is adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to find your site. Thanks for the precious hat pattern! and thanks also to KHAdams for the adult sizing :):) There are so many nice crocheters in this world!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI knit and crochet and like making hats. Here in the Central Valley of CA we rarely need a warm hat or scarf. :(
But my husband and I have chosen to move to ND this June and are very much looking forward to snowy winters. It's been years for us both and we want to experience 4 distinct seasons again, including snow! So, I am looking forward to making more hats and even using wool and being able to use it!
Very cute and easy to whip up! Thanks I think I will put a cute flower on the side and my grand-daughter should love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I saw this on Ravelry & knew I had to make it for my 10 yo daughter. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I'm new to crotchet so bear with me if this is a silly question... how do you get a "double strand"? Do you use 2 skeins or do you roll a ball as double? Thanks
