Hats! Hats! Hats!

Ah! I have been busily making some hats! I have a friend who is expecting her first baby in about 3 weeks time! We are very excited for her to get into motherhood and go through that BIG experience! I was having a hard time deciding on what beanie to make for her because she hasn't really chosen a theme for the nursery (she is just going to "go with it" and see in the future) So I finally just broke down and told her "Hey I am going to be giving you a beanie at your shower so what do you want?!" I figured may as well let her choose. She chose a brown bear beanie 3-6 months size so he can wear it this coming winter, and it turned out DARLING! This is my first "bear" beanie so I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out. Would I have to undo some of it and make a different decision on colors? Different eyes? But I am happy to say the first try for everything just worked out! I plan to put a listing for this in my Etsy Store soon because I love it so much!

This hat was made with Lion Brand "Homespun Yarn" and the color I chose was "Pearls"

The other beanies I have been working on have been more for the "fun" of it. I love trying out new stitches and seeing how they will work out as a beanie so I have this basket weave stitch beanie that I fell in love with! And the color is so much fun.

This hat was made with my all time favorite yarn "Caron Simply Soft" the color is "Blue Mint"

I found a fun chunky yarn in a nice mint blue and made a aviator beanie out of it. I accented it with a nice cream and added buttons. I am hoping Cedric will fit into it this winter, we'll have to see!

And then a personal favorite color combo! Grey and Green! I had some extra grey laying around and I cannot remember what the brand is. :( But it is really soft and cuddly!

What fun it has been to just crochet for fun! I really need to get busy and start listing my hats in my Etsy Store. I have been procrastinating it, but I think this week I will just have to do it and see how fast they sell. I want to start getting some bulk made up for the winter season, I just don't know what will sell best. It is however my first year really getting into selling online so it will be trial and error for now!
