Shop Handmade :: Crocheted Hats for Kids

Want to make sure your child keeps their hat on this winter?  Get them a funky hand-made hat!  Our kids don't want to take their new hats off at all, even when they are inside!  Have no fear...if you don't have the skills to crochet or knit a hat for your child, there are places you can find hats for sale!  Henry's Angry Bird and Max's Creeper came from my friend Tela, who owns the Bluegrass Boutique.  And Ella's Owl and Sam's Minion came from a Craft Fair, made by Susan of Susan's Handmade Crafts.  Ella's hat has a mini hat to match for her Kit doll.  So if you want to be able to spot your kids easily while they are whizzing down the hills sledding, consider a handmade hat!  You can check your local craft fairs, as this is the season for craft sales...or contact Tela through her Bluegrass Boutique Facebook Page.   

one down, three to go

i finished henry's winter hat last night.  it took me one week to make.  because i am slow.  it probably would have taken my crocheting mentor, auntie annie, about an hour to make.  i am still pretty new & slow and I have to sneak in these little pockets of time for crocheting.  it calms me.  so i have one winter hat finished, and three to go.  ella's is on the hook now. 

i love this pattern for the "little people" hat, i found it on etsy, created by mamachee.  i made several of them last winter too, henry came home from the hospital in one.  if you are looking for an easy pattern for cutting your crocheting teeth on, i suggest you look no further.  fyi:  i made henry the child-sized version, because my stitching is so tight the infant one wouldn't fit his big noggin.

what are you making this week?  please do share!
