Crochet Caps

as cool as that sounds, crochet is (allegedly) having a massive renaissance!

and, well, i think it can be pretty cute when used properly!!
the one is a "Shabby Hat" for maia, using Wool Company "sky" and scraps from my stash
i crocheted a little flower to decorate it too-
paul thinks it looks like a '20s baby hat!

and another for eli-
this time a brimmed beanie, using the same yarn as the babydoll dress i just made maia :-)
see? it isn't all bad is it??!

Love that pattern, I'm pretty bad at crochet, I tried making one for Bella and it fitted a doll :( Not too sure what I did wrong :P

I'm being uber lazy but what pattern did you use for Eli's hat? Friend wants one like that for her babe. Lovely work!

here ya go nikki- Cheri Hat :) dead easy, just goes round & round til you get to the brim!

nic- i found the pattern a bit off too.. i did a 6m size with a 3mm hook, for the toddler size it says to repeat the last round 6 times, i did it 11 times!! otherwise it was going to look more like a kippah! lol...
