For The Love of Crochet~
.
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!!!

The second one I whipped up was just colors I love… Grey and Berry!

Last night I sat down to do a little crochet work… I have 4 Afghans in progress, 2 of them are almost finished… If you are like me, I love quick projects and Afghans aren’t usually in that category! Hmmm,,, I really debated on trying to finish up one of the Afghans, but I decided to start something new and something I could finish in one evening…

My friend Kathy Lashley over at Elk Studio Handcrafted Crochet Designs has been designing hats and wow are they beautiful! This time I choose her latest hat, “Hounds Tooth Hat” and to top it off it is a free pattern… Click here to get the pattern. While you are there, check out her other patterns too!

I loved this pattern and it was easy to follow and I was able to finish it in just a couple of hours! I did make some personal modifications, I added the brim and flower for a little femininity. I made it out of a nice cotton yarn for summertime too! I can’t wait to make more of these with and without the brim and flower… I think they will be a hit especially in the winter and in wool!!

So here is to Quick Projects, Hounds Tooth Hats and Flowers!
