Hat Attack

I am a hat making fool. I really liked the pattern, so I made a few and have plans for some more. Now I have a nice hat and a sweaty hat, both of which I like. No second-string hats for me anymore. And if you don't know the difference between a nice hat and a sweaty hat then either you don't wear hats enough, or I'm just gross.

This is the first hat I made - for myself. I found the "Loira" pattern, 
through the Pinterest, at Where is the Wonderland?
I also made a less slouchy one for the kid with an added pom-pom.
And then, in good old fashioned over doing it style, I made myself
another hat with some scrap yarn. The grey yarn is from an old cotton Gap
sweater that I unravelled. The stripes are light pink cheap acrylic.

  1. Jealous of your hat making abilities! I've never needed one until now...and at this very moment, with all the snow on the ground (with more to come), I'd love to have one. Maybe I should use all this snowed in time to learn how to make cool things!

    1. You could always wrap a towel around your head :) But honestly, crochet is easier for me than knitting...although I don't think that's true for everyone. My mother in law has made sewn fleece hats. That might be faster if you have a sewing machine.

    1. That was the first time we'd taken her to the mountains to play in snow. She was good and done after about 30 minutes!
