AW and PIPs
I have been on a binge of sorts with crocheting cute little hats for my baby that will arrive this Thursday! I posted the 3 hats in the background this past week, but the ones up front are new...(I re-did the Booby Beanie)
This next one is made with similar yarn as one of the back hats, but this one is a stocking cap with a tail, whereas the other one is more of a beanie with a tail.
When I got stuck on something, I just went over to YouTube and figured out how to incorporate the stitch I was looking for. This last hat is actually a combo of two different patterns!
I can't wait to see my little guy in these

Thank you! The Pumpkin Hat was quite easy, you just crocheted rows, then slip stitched the ends together, then used green yarn to single stitch decrease the top. Then I made the spiral/vine and knotted it on!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
