Aviator Hats

This is a kid sized hat, done all in double crochet with a single crochet white trim.

This one is preemie sized.

Bikini

I might've been able to wear this when I was ten, but I made this for a cute little twenty-something gal who filled it out better than I ever could.

Felt Book

I had a little more detail in this book than I did in the previous one, probably because I had a little more time to put this one together. It'll be nice to make a book for a baby with a shorter name sometime.

Watermelon Hat

Camel Hat

This is the first time I've worked a pattern like this, and I'd do things differently when/if I attempt it again. I carried the brown yarn over from camel to camel, and my stitching got too tight...so tight it wouldn't fit on my daughter's head. I wound up cutting the tight lengths of yarn on the inside, hoping that it would provide a little more 'give' and wouldn't start to unravel the camels if I applied some glue to the cut ends. That was semi-successful. I think I'd do the entire hat in single crochet next time so that my stitches would be more consistent throughout. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...it just required a little more thought than I wanted to give while I watched American Idol.

Cowboy Hat

I did this a long time ago. I know that I didn't have a pattern, used two colors of yarn at once, and it's double crochet. Other than that I don't know how I made it.

Chihuahua #2

This one has larger eyes, and a head so big that I had to have him seated, otherwise he would tilt forward onto his nose. It's the same pattern as my previous chihuahua.

Blue Wig

I found this site for making a yarn wig. It involved bundles of yarn tied to a crocheted yarn hat. It didn't really work too well for me, so I wound up crocheting a basic hat, then taking apart the bundles and re-attaching them in smaller sections. I started at the crown and created a center part, then added bangs and filled in wherever I noticed blank spots.

Pink purse

Crocheted pink purse with a braided belt used as the strap. I did this awhile ago, but I'm pretty sure it was a Ferragamo bag type pattern I used.

Hook Holder

One of my few sewing attempts.

Jury Duty Hat

I started this while I sat in the holding room for jury duty. I got through 2/3 of it before my name was called for a "special trial" that starts next month, and might last for twenty days. It's a basic double crochet in lime green with single crochet in dark blue. A single crochet brim is added at the end. And no, the hat isn't misshapen, but my head apparently is!

Preemie Hats

The striped and green hats have brims.
