Who Let the Monster Out… Crochet Crazy!

.

Last night when my crochet window of opportunity opened up… (My 2-3 Hour Crochet time…) I sat down once again thinking about what to make…  I realized this weekend was the Blackberry Festival/ Car Show in our little town… And I thought I better get a couple more items in the shop to sell…  Something quick… Ok another owl hat!  Super easy and fun to make…

Toddler Owl Hat…

With some time to spare… I decided to try something a little different… This year I have been noticing Monsters have been very popular… I scanned a few of my favorite sites for ideas and quickly worked one up…

One Eyed Monster…

.

Like I said yesterday… The Owl Hat Pattern is from Repeat Crafter Me... I love her stuff… And, the Monster Hat was also inspired from her picture of a monster hat… I didn’t follow her pattern,,, I just made up my own… But… It is almost exactly the same… So credit to Repeat Crafter Me for her design ideas!!!!

.

Lots of fun and I intend to make many more monsters…  Here are a few more pics…

3-6  Month Size Owl Hat…Lavender and White

.

Also off the hook and to my Etsy Shop... Another Soft and Stylish Cowl…  I now have the pattern worked out and should have this FREE Pattern ready to post in the next couple days…  It is also really beautiful and very quick to work up… This Cowl was made using a slightly less bulky yarn Rated a (5) in yarn thickness,,, The previous Cowl’s were made using a (6),,, I actually like the Cowl’s that had the thickest yarn… They were way more “plush”… But, this is beautiful and I would wear it this fall!!
