Rainbow Slouch Crochet Hat

Winter is coming! No one wants to admit it, especially me, but it's true.

My kids love when I make them hats because it's easier for me to make what they want instead of aimlessly roaming stores looking at hats that are ok, but not really what they want.

I made this rainbow slouch hat for my daughter a few years ago and while it still fits, it is very well worn and she could use a new one. It's about that time of year to crochet hats so we're not scrambling to find something on that first cold day.

You can certainly use any color combinations you (or your child) wants, but I don't think I've met anyone who doesn't love a rainbow.

Pumpkin Hat with Matching Diaper Cover Newborn Set

It's probably a good thing that I didn't know how to crochet when my kids were babies because I would have made all kinds of cute and crazy outfits for them. But just because I don't have babies anymore doesn't mean I don't enjoy making things for babies.

Fall is one of my favorites times of the year. This pumpkin hat and matching diaper cover would look nothing short of adorable on any baby!

This hat will fit most newborns, but the diaper cover will fit most babies up to 9 months.

Pom Pom Monster Beanie

If you caught my post last week about making a basic beanie, you know that I love making hats. Whether it's to sell in my shop or for my kids to wear, that basic beanie pattern is what I use to make any hat.

I have a lot of friends with kids younger than mine. Sometimes being around those little ones reminds me that toddlers can be little monsters. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. I have my own and I worked with children for many, many years, but if you've been through that toddler stage, than I think you can see what I'm saying. Those little ones inspired me to make little monster hats for the little monsters.

Add this pattern to your Ravelry library to save it for later

Basic Crochet Beanie

One of my favorite things to make are hats. The possibilities are endless once you know how to make the basic part of the beanie. My kids love when I make hats for them. They love that they can choose the design knowing their hat will be different than anyone else in their class.
