New Crochet Cloche… The Sadie!

.

Out of my sketch book and on to my hook!  This weekend my first dream hat pattern came to life… I’m calling it Sadie (A turn of the century family name),,, Sadie is a 1920’s inspired Cloche…  In honor of my Grandmother, Beatrice Ryan Ramshaw!  I dream of her wearing something like this as a young woman to a party or dance… And the colors,,, A Sea Spray Blue… This floods back memories of her,,, She drove a 1970 Sea Spray Colored Cadillac… Some of the best childhood memories were with her driving  and my cousin and I sliding across the back seats of that Cadillac,,, Power window and plenty of room for my cousin and I to have tons of girl fun while driving through town with Bea!!!  And who could pass up a purple hat… My favorite color as a girl,,, And of course she painted my childhood room for me in a great shade of purple!

.

So are you ready to see Sadie??  Here are the first two Sample Hats…

Crochet Hat Obsession….

.

Once again when I sat down to crochet last night, I pondered what to work on… I have several works in progress… Lots of things on the back burner and I really felt like whipping something quick up… again!

.

I loved the hat I made the day before! Kathy Lashley’s Hounds Tooth Hat from her Free Pattern Page at Elk Studio Handcrafted Crochet designs… I made some adjustments to make it feminine… I got a great response to the additions of the brim and flower…  But last night I really just wanted to make her pattern and follow it to see what I thought of just the beanie… Masculine or Feminine would only be determined by the colors…

This is my first hat with the feminine touch… Tuesday nights project!

.

I decided to go with my daughters school colors for the first hat of the night.. “Blue and Gold”… I loved the way it turned out!!!
