Ah! It’s finally summer and school is out! Now I’m able to divert the mental energy away from the unplanned homeschooling and back to writing up patterns for my crazy creations. I had fun creating this wide-brimmed sun hat for my little one. And, since he likes to carry his baby around sometimes, I made a mini version for dolly…
After I’d finished making the CONSTRUCTION BACK PACK, I had some yarn left over. So I thought, hey, why not make a hat to match? Since I’d used cotton for the bag, and it’ll still be sunny here for several weeks, I thought a sun hat would be perfect. So, here it is, my Construction Sun hat. This hat is…
I had a lot of fun designing this sun hat for myself and I love how it turned out! I used a the Lily Sugar n’cream cotton yarn – one skein of white and one of red, white and blue ombre. The colors in the ombre skein randomly pooled in a way that gives this hat splashes of color so…
With summer just around the corner it’s time to start thinking about trips to the beach and fun in the sun. I realized my older boy didn’t have a sun hat that fit so I set to work and whipped up this super simple classic style sun hat. It reminded me of the french riviera town so I named it…
This design was inspired by the look of stripy five point star blankets and my love of making hats. Recently I started to wonder how a star design would work in a hat and quickly got to work on this new idea. Since it’s summer, I decided that this hat should be a summer sun hat, and because I’ve made…
It’s finally finished! I’ve been working on these elephants for weeks! Here is my elephant parade sun hat! My idea for this hat started out as wanting to try the elephant blanket trim I’d seen around. Wanting to make something other than a blanket, I thought they’d look great in sun hats for my boys. ***This post contains affiliate links…
I’ve been busy working on my new baby elephant parade sunhat. While designing the sun hat I found I needed to figure out a new way to make a sun hat brim since I wanted a different style to hats I’d made in the past. Continuing the increase where it left off at the top section of the hat has…
Inspired by the photos of the little Russian girl’s sunhat I saw a few years ago when it went viral, I wanted to create my own unique summer sunhat. I’ve tried to make hats like this before and did manage an adult size hat with a similar design. I’d used Aunt Lydia’s thread for that and it turned out well…
Whenever I start to think about a new design I always go look around and see what’s out there. I look at styles, elements, details, design, then from there I start to develop my own design, incorporating a little bit from here and there, then adding my own twist and style to create something new and unique. I’ve been thinking…
I am delighted to present my latest design: The Chevron Cascade Pocket Wrap! This design started out with a request from a friend for a poncho or pocket wrap/shawl to keep her warm this winter. In searching for inspiration, I found the incredibly popular Perfect Pockets Shawl by Sonja Hood. My friend liked this one but asked for something longer…
