I love this color combination, and the way the texture row looks like a headband with the flower on it.  I used the small version of the no-sew rose, the open version.

The model for this adult medium size is my studly husband!  The large size just has an extra round, so the two row color change wouldn't work as nicely for the large size.  Love how this turned out in Patons Classic Wool.

Happy Easter!  So thankful for our Risen Savior.
This little hat is perfect for Spring - cute but not too warm.  I used the large no-sew rose, the open way, coordinated with the color of yarn I used for the last two rows of the hat.

I made this size in a cute St. Patrick's Day theme.  The applique is here.  I just love how this pattern makes the colors pop!

This hat should fit older kids/teens and small adult heads.  This fits my small head perfectly in the youth size!  If the older kid or teen has a smaller head, hop down to the toddler size and add a 13th row if you need it.

Free Pattern: Up and Down Stitch Hat - Newborn

This hat was inspired by my late grandmother.  She used this simple, textured stitch pattern to make so many beautiful blankets, one of which my daughter uses every night.  Her dedication to beauty and perfection in her craft inspired me to begin crocheting, and it inspires me still.

For my Valentine's theme, I got my idea from this gorgeous picture of an item no longer available on Etsy.  I made my hat in red, changing to white for the last round, and added a heart applique from Skip to My Lou - though I only did rounds 1 and 2, leaving off the last round.  Perfect for a Valentine's baby!

This hat is a worsted-weight copy of this hat.  The spaces are uneven on this size, but I think it's pretty cute that way!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you're looking forward to a wonderful new year!  Here's a happy winter hat with a sweet textured detail row.

This is a thicker texture that I've seen a lot on Etsy.  It is simple, though it would not be a good project for beginners.  This hat is extra warm, so perfect for a snowy Christmas.

Love how fast this hat works up!  Because this pattern works up loose, it will probably fit more like 12 months to 2 or 3T.

An adorable live model for this one.  Introducing baby #3!  She is about 14 pounds.  For the picture of her, I added a small open no-sew rose.

Love this in the tiny premie size.  The precious bow is from a wonderful Etsy shop... Sew Whimsey.

Free Pattern: Thick and Thin Striped Beanie Newborn Earflap Modification

For a sweet friend, a sweet little newborn hat.  I just put the earflaps from the Earflap Hat Newborn onto the Thick and Thin Striped Beanie Newborn, and edged it a little differently.  So not really a new pattern, but some might appreciate the step-by-step.

On the three-month size I used the open version of the large no-sew rose.  Love these colors.

This hat is a worsted-weight copy of this hat.  I think it turned out really sweet.  It would be a great boy hat, too, especially with a little brim.

The spaces between the stripes on this size aren't even, as you may be able to see.  I guess this could be good, or it might be annoying.  If you'd prefer even stripes, go up a size or down a size.

I decorated this one for Christmas with the Wreath Applique.

Isn't this hat lovely?  This hat has such a sweet, girly texture.  I learned this stitch from The Crochet Stitch Bible. (It's called the Paris stitch in the book.)  Gorgeous bow by Bella Designs

Free Pattern: Deeply Textured Hat - Toddler

This is a modification of the pattern from The Laughing Willow.  For adult size, see her original post.

This size hat should fit through youth sizes, just keep adding rounds at the bottom to make it longer.  A helpful measurement when trying to determine how much longer it needs to be is ear-to-ear measurement.  Measure over the top of the hat and it should be long enough to cover the top part of the ear.

Love these bold colors together.  I originally thought of this as a boy hat, but the open version of the large no-sew rose really works!
