Watery Hat

I finished the hat with the leftover yarn from the Watery Scarf! I really like it~ I used this pattern from the Lion Brand site. I like it because the brim comes out just enough to shade my eyes and it's warm. Sadly, I probably won't get to wear it much once summer comes. Yay! My first hat and scarf set. ♥

Dad's Hat

Dad works offshore on oil rigs and it's really cold here (Freezing weather in Texas!?!?), so I offered to crochet him something. He requested a hat, since he can't wear scarves offshore for safety reasons, and I found this pattern at Crafty Christina's blog and decided to make him one because I was sure he'd like the simple but nice look over something frilly because, well, he's a guy. It's a bit longer than the one she made for her husband at my dad's request. The wig head makes it look enormous, but wig heads are smaller than actual human heads and it fits a human head wonderfully. Hopefully it will keep his ears and his bald spot warm.

The black yarn is Lion Brand Wool Ease and the brown is the same Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted yarn in chocolate that I used in my previous hat. ♥

Cloche Hat

I've always loved to wear hats, which is convenient since my eyes are very sensitive to light. While I was in Macy's doing some New Year's sale shopping with my mom, I tried on a cloche hat because I thought it looked cool and discovered that I look OK in them. Sadly, it wasn't discounted enough to get, but I found a very nice pattern for them here. This is modified a bit because of a screw up and me being to chicken to try back post double crochet. I want to make a grey one, too, and I'll probably try doing the bumps with that. I really like the way they look.

Anyway, I finished this during game night and sat around at the table like an idiot wearing it. I love this hat! Mom had the flower pin on hand (it came with a shirt of hers and she didn't like it with the shirt) and I think it goes really well with the hat. She also has a purple and, if I remember correctly, a black one? I may also get a cream-colored ribbon to put around it, too.

I used Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted yarn in chocolate for this. ♥
