The Dyeing Spinster

I managed to knit and crochet 21 hats and headbands before mailing them out tonight.  Many more than I thought I would get done! After finding a crochet hat pattern that I really liked though, I went crazy with variations in color and edgings. I had so much fun making them!  Alot of the crochet hats were made by holding 2 or 3 strands of different color and weight yarns together for a variegated look.  I’m really happy with the whole lot of hats and I so hope the kids love them too. =)

Here is a group shot of the hats:

Hats from my stash - I had made these a long while ago with no one in mind…I just wanted to make something/try the pattern out:

Crochet Hats - The pink hat is the first one that I made with this pattern and started the whole ball rolling =)

Then I tried a different border:

And added some frill =) :

And then I came up with my own design!:

Bon Voyage Hats! Bring the kids as much joy as you brought me! =)
