This Thick Warm Crocheted Winter Hat lives up to it’s title. With front post stitches for insulation, my brother loves how fast this hat warms his head.
I crocheted the Boy Beanie v2.0 for him, also using Red Heart Super Saver in paddy green, but it turned out too tight. I was thinking of trying out the Husband Hat for him, but he requested a Cable Hat, like my gray one.
I really enjoy the Cable Hat pattern, but after making that hat several times over to get the right size, I had no desire to make another for a while. The Thick Warm Crocheted Winter Hat pattern seemed like a good compromise.
This hat is my first with a brim and it looks very bulky in the picture. When worn on an actual head instead of a yarn ball, the brim stretches out a bit more.
In other news, I’m working on a new set of photos for the Through Any Window Baby Blanket tutorial. Three rows were out of pattern order, so I’m re-photographing them. The actual directions are correct, but just remember the color order is jumbled. Also, I’m planning a new tutorial for a neat little crochet technique I came across on YouTube.
Today is the third annual World Kidney Day!
*That’s cool* a random fact
One in nine US adults have chronic kidney disease.
The hat looks great! Its so nice that your brother appreciates your crochet. The hat us a great color too.
I didn’t know there was a world kidney day or that so many people suffered from kidney disease.
What a nice sis! The hat looks good. I’ve never done a hat with a brim either but yours looks great.
All right more pics for the Through any window blanket!
Awww what a nice sister you are love the hat so cute and love the green. I meet up with other moms here in Milwaukee who kids have liver and kidney diseases since Nesa my oldest have a liver diease it helps me to talk to other family that has to take care of there kids that is suffering for a GI diease as well. At times the meetings are sad but, at times it helps us as parents to come together in that time of need. So I know about the suffering. :(
Great hat! I love that green.
That is a really nice looking crocheted hat! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I know what you mean, I knit a cable hat for my friends birthdaywhich is this week, but it looks like it will have to go to Calista who will be 8 tomorrow and she is not very big. :-)
Love your site
The hat and the headband are both so pretty! Post stitches make me nervous (I’m a timid crocheter), LOL!
I feel like an idiot now, because I just realized that you live in Washington State – I had seen “San Juan” and “island” a while ago, and assumed you lived in Puerto Rico, LOL! I guess the crochet hooks into the snow at the top of your blog should have been a hint that you don’t live somewhere tropical. Hey, but at least that lake in the photo looks fairly blue – definitely bluer than our green Lake Erie here in Cleveland. : |
