Happy client ~ Clare
I received photos today of Clare, whose mother also purchased an owl hat for her. The hats alone are cute, but seeing them on humans makes them so much more adorable. Especially on little girls named Clare!! I just had to share with all of you!!
Thanks for the photo Ande and Clare, I'm so glad you love my hats, they look simply stunning on you!

St. Patrick's Day Crochet Top Hat
So I saw a photo of a leprechaun hat online and just knew I had to try and create one of my own. I needed motivation and thankfully had a photographer acquaintance request one to use as a prop. I played around with it today and was so excited I was able to work it out! The yellow buckle was tricky. I didn't mean for it to ruffle but I thought it looked so cute that way, I decided to keep it! It's amazing how accomplished I always feel when I can't figure something out and then I finally get it!!
Here it is! I'll try to get a photo of a baby wearing it. Just for fun I tried it on but it's a bit to small (obviously) :) But I think with a few bobby pins I may be able to pull this off on St. Patty's Day! Maybe it would need to be a little smaller actually, to look more like an accessory rather than a too-small hat!! Also, because of the fact I am childless, I tried it on my adorable talking Brother Bear and he just loves it!
$25 and this adorable little holiday hat is all yours! Contact us to place an order :-)

Crochet Beard Hat
So I totally fell in love with the little boy beard hats and bought a pattern, courtesy of myohmycutiepie. I tried it out last night with my nephew over here and he loved it!!! I also love that it uses two yarns simultaneously! The hat quality is much thicker and warmer. I never would have thought of using this technique for hats but I will have to remember this for some of my other hats. It's also a great way to get a multicolor pattern going. I was not sure how I felt about the hat in photos but seeing it on him won me over! My brother saw it and said that would be great to keep his face warm in the winter when he's working outside.
The only downfall with this pattern is it is only available for child sizes. I try to only buy patterns if it includes baby through adult sizes. I will have to play around with it and see if I can convert it to an adult hat (this shouldn't be difficult) and make the beard larger (this could be tricky). Here are some photos of my adorable little nephew/model!

Baby Owl - Purple & Green
Here is a custom order for a newborn purple and green owl. So adorable.. I love making newborn hats, they always turn out so precious, no matter what the animal or colors used to create them. This one was no exception. I added a bow to this one which turned out great also. I love when our clients pick their own colors, it's really helps to make them feel like they are truly a part of the process.
Katie's Creations!
Here are some of the beautiful hats Katie has made. Send us an email if you would like to place a special order. I kid you not when I say we have every color of yarn that is out there!
Panda?
This hat is a work in progress. I was bored and wanted to try something new. I think next time I would try making the bigger black part of the eyes bigger. Also, I need to try some different options for the nose and mouth. And as you can see, I still need to add the braids. But either way this little guy is super cute!
Girls Football hat!
So the football hat was a huge hit once I uploaded the photo on my facebook page. I received a request for a little girls football hat. This sounded like a great way to get creative. How do you take a football hat and make it appropriate for a little girl? Well that's easy... just add some pink and a flower!! Instead of using solid pink, I used a baby yarn that was pink and white. This add is easily one of my favorites to date. Super simple and super cute! I'm hoping to get a photo of the little princess in her new hat to share with you all!
Are you ready for some football?
This hat was a custom order. A client is having a little boy and wanted to do know if I could do a football hat. I think it turned out so precious! At first I made it without the pom pom, I was worried it might look a little girly with it on there. But after adding it, I can see now just how wrong I was!
This was for an out of town client but she assured me she would send a photo of little boy blue in his new football hat and I can't wait to see it on him!
