I was so excited when I discovered that by turning the leaping blocks and stripes stitch pattern on it’s side, that I would create an almost woven look for the Heights Beanie! It’s so much fun to alter stitches just a little bit to get a whole new look.
The Rustic Lace Hat and the Rustic Lace Scarf make the perfect light weight, lacy set for cooler temperatures! They work up fairly quickly and use only chains and double crochets.
The Checkmate Beanie is a super soft and chunky hat, that despite the holes, will keep your head nice and warm on those blustery winter days. Pair it with the matching super scarf called the Checkmate Scarf that you can find at this link to complete the set!
Wavy Shells Beanie
Hello everyone!
We got our first snowfall yesterday. It was beautiful and ominous at the same time.
It’s definitely time to start stocking up on the winter necessities once again and what a better place to start than with a beanie! I say you can never have too many winter hats and scarves!
Navy Clusters Hat
Hey Everyone!
When I crocheted the Jess Mess-y Bun Hat, I loved the cluster stitch and wanted to use it again and again and again. And I thought what if not everyone likes the ponytail hat? Or what about women with short hair?
I, myself, prefer the full hat without the hole for my hair to peek out. I’m the kind of woman that wears my hair in a ponytail most of the time because I’m too lazy to style it. (Truth bomb) LOL! So, that’s why I prefer a full hat like this Navy Clusters Hat.
I’m able to let my hair down and it doesn’t matter if I’m having a bad hair day or not. The hat covers any wild locks that have a mind of their own. Unfortunately, the minute I remove the hat, my hair goes right back into a ponytail.
C’est la vie, I guess.
Jess Mess-y Bun Hat
A friend of mine asked me last year to crochet her one of those messy bun hats. I said sure, but then I let it go. I didn’t ask for any details like what color she wanted or what style of stitch. The holidays were coming and I thought it would be a nice surprise for her to get the hat for Christmas. When I imagined what I would make her, I pictured something classy and feminine. I also wanted a color that would literally go with anything.
I believe I achieved everything I envisioned with the Jess Mess-y Bun Hat. (I hope she doesn’t mind the play on her name. I thought it was cute!) Although I do think I probably should have called it the Jess Ponytail Hat since I’ve never seen her messy, but it just didn’t have the same ring to it.
