One of my goals recently has been to remake some of my older hat patterns that only made in one size so that they will include multiple sizes. A lot of my earlier hat patterns I only made in one size, depending on who I was making it for I may have made it only in adult size, or only child or toddler size, or sometimes even a baby or newborn size. But over time I started making each new pattern that I released in multiple sizes, typically 5 sizes including 3-6 months, 6-12 months, toddler, child, and adult.

My kids started school this week and there is something about kids going back to school that makes me so ready for fall. I don't love the summer, or more specifically I don't love the heat, so I am ready for cooler temperatures and one of my favorite cooler weather things to make is hats.

A couple days ago was Groundhog's Day and apparently Punxsutawney Phil says we will have 6 more weeks of winter, but here in Utah it feels like winter hasn't even started yet so it doesn't feel very likely here. Since it hasn't felt like winter I feel like I have had a hard time getting excited about making winter stuff. But I have made some hats that I want to share, starting with this pattern that I am posting today. 

Friday Five: 5 Hats to Make with Variegated Yarn

 

This fall/winter season has been unusually warm where I live so I haven't had many opportunities to pull out hats and scarves and all of the other winter gear, but it is that time of year. Crocheted hats are probably my favorite wearable to crochet, so I have quite a few hat patterns on my blog. I will probably share a lot of different hats in my Friday Five roundups over the next couple of months, but today I thought I would focus specifically on hat patterns that work well with variegated yarn.

A few years ago I used my Cricut to create some crocheted hat templates. Ever since then I have wanted to make a printable version, since the others were only helpful if you had a Cricut. A printable version would work for anyone. It has been on my to-do list forever and as we are heading into fall and crochet hat season I have been working on some new (and revamping some old) hat patterns so I figured this is the perfect time to finally get this project done. 

Friday Five: 5 Hats to Crochet for Costumes

  

It is Friday again, so time for another Friday Five. I haven't posted at all since last Friday because it has been a busy week for my family and I have been focused on spending time with them. My oldest son left on a 2 year mission for our church a couple of days ago so the past week has been busy packing, preparing for him to leave, doing a few last things as a family before he is gone for 2 years. But like I mentioned last week I have so many fall projects to share, as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas projects, that I don't want to miss any more weeks of Friday Five. For today I have chosen a theme that is not really halloween specific, but it could definitely be used to help make halloween costumes. Today's five patterns are crocheted hats that can be used for Halloween costumes, or you can just make them for a fun hat to wear all fall/winter!

It is finally fall, although it doesn't yet feel like it where I live, but that means it is time to start making all of the cold weather crochet projects. Hats, scarves, blankets, etc. Of all of those different projects hats are probably my favorite, although I do enjoy making all of them.

Last week I shared a new scarf pattern, the Trinity Stripe Cowl, and today I have the matching hat, the Trinity Stripe Hat. Both patterns are part of the Scarf and Hat or the month put on by Oombawka Design and the Stitching Mommy. Each month they both share new hat and scarf designs, as well as having a guest designer, which this month is me!

It is Day 4 of the Book Inspired Craft Week, and today I am choosing a book from my very favorite genres when I was a kid. And this book was one of my favorites, it is called Snow Treasure.

We have had some cold snowy days the last few weeks in Utah, and to me that means it is the perfect time to sit down and crochet some hats. A few months ago I had picked up the new Red Heart Super Saver Speckles in 5 different colors with the plan to make hats with it. It took me a while to decided on a stitch pattern that I wanted to use because I knew with the speckled yarn the hats would be pretty busy so I needed to keep it simple. It is similar to working with variegated yarn, not every stitch works well with busy yarn. But I also wanted some texture so I played around with a few different stitches before finally deciding on one.

Now that it is November I feel like the temperatures are finally starting to cool down enough that it is almost time to pull out the winter hats, and coats, and scarves. The last couple of weeks we have had days where it feels like you need to bundle up in the morning because it is freezing, but by a few hours later you are ripping off layers because it has warmed up so much, so it has been more sweatshirts and hoodies  rather than full winter get-up, but it will be here we know it.

I am excited to be participating in the Christmas in July Make Along with Underground Crafter. I have participated in this make along for a few years now and it is a fun way to get a head start on Christmas crafting. I know I always wait too long to get started and never finish half of the projects I have planned.

Last week I shared a crocheted cowl that I made for the Scarf of the Month Crochet Along with  Oombawka Design and The Stitchin Mommy. I mentioned that I would also be the guest designer for their Hat of the Month Crochet Along, and today is the day for that!

Here in Utah we welcomed the new year with a big snowstorm. We got about a foot of snow dumped on us on New Year's Day. It started in the middle of the night and snowed all day and into the next. I was grateful we didn't have many places that we needed to go until the snow stopped and the roads finally got cleared.

 I love fall, it is my favorite season. I don't know why exactly, there are just so many things about it that I love. My birthday is in the fall, I love the cooler (but not too cold) weather, I love the leaves and the colors of everything. Plus fall leads into the holiday season with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other winter holidays, which I also love.

Hats with the Cricut Hat Press

I had the opportunity to try out the new Cricut Hat Press and I had a lot of fun with it. I enjoyed choosing designs for the hats and then actually making them. I have tried making hats in the past and it was super tricky. Trying to deal with the curved shape of the hat was a big challenge. 

Baby Bear Crocheted Hat

A few months ago we had a family baby shower for my sister who was expecting her first baby. All of the girls in the family were invited and my girls each wanted to put together a gift to give to their new baby cousin from them. Each of them picked a little book, and chose a design for a onesie. My youngest daughter's nickname is Mare-Bear, or sometimes just Bear, so she chose a bear design for her onesie and a bear book. At the last minuteI thought it would be fun to add a little baby bear hat, so I made one up really fast to add to her gift. 

Boxed Beads Hat in 5 Sizes

Not too long ago I shared a new crocheted hat pattern. It used the bead stitch in a different way than the other bead stitch hats I had shared previously, boxed in between double crochet stitches and rounds of single crochet. It was also made with a bulky weight yarn, Caron Colorama O'Go.

 Yarnspirations recently sent me some of their new O'Go yarn to try out and with fall just around the corner, and hopefully some cooler weather, I thought it would be perfect to make a new hat pattern.
