Adventures in Hat Making

June 15, 2017

I’m just loving the heck out of crocheting! Learning all the different stitches, making my stitches better and better with practice, trying different patterns – and even making my own patterns… all of it is just so much fun.

It’s funny because, while out on the boat last week on vacation, I mentioned I should have brought my yarn and hook. My mother-in-law said I need to learn how to just relax. Immediately my husband piped in that this is how she she relaxes. And he is correct. This is how I relax. It’s so calming to my mind and my body. Basically, if you haven’t tried knitting or crocheting, you really should. Once you get past the initial confusion of learning something new, I really think you would love it!

This first hat is the one I made for my youngest son. I measured his head and then also sized it with the yarn around his head. I don’t know if that was completely necessary. I did it because I made a hat for my middle son, and it ended up being far too large for him. Anyway, I used this pretty brown yarn by Vanna White.

I did a row of double crochet and then the rest was the wattle stitch, stitching the sides together, and cinching it at the top. And bam, a hat! And it fit! Double yay.

I also put together a pink one just to try it out with a thinner yarn. Plus, you know, pink!

This one I did a couple rows of single crochet and the rest was the wattle stitch. I stitched the sides together, cinched the top, and added a cute pom pom on top.

I just love this stitch!

You can check out the video below to learn how to do the wattle stitch. It’s the video I used. Such a simple, yet beautiful stitch.
