I am, or I guess you can say, I WAS not ever a hat kind of person. So many of my friends love hats , and could get away with putting their hair up in a pony tail , throwing on a baseball cap and heading out for an AM jog, or to run errands. In all honesty, I always thought they looked perfectly fine doing that. But when it came to me, it just didn’t work. If I use a baseball cap, the only thing it would do is give me hat hair, and those cute little berets that you get at the store, well, for some reason, they just slide right off of my head.
While browsing through Ravelry, I came across an awesome designer by the name of Donna Rutledge-Okoro. She has this pattern available for free (very nice of her). I decided to make this for my friend who has a birthday coming up. The pattern calls for any worsted weight yarn and a size J crochet hook. I chose naturally Caron’s Country yarn because it’s soft and luxurious look and feel.
I am not kidding when I say that this project was both fun and easy. It also worked up in only about an hours time. I tried on the hat once I was finished, and it did not slide off of my head. I admired the comfortable feel and the style, and I loved this hat so much that I kept this one for myself. I was able to work up another one for my friend’s Birthday present. I can’t wait to give it to her.

It looks great! I was never a hat person, and even though I've been converted by some really cute hats I've found on Etsy, I'm still unsure about berets...
ReplyDeleteThanks Pili. Since I've always thought that hats look a little funny on me, at first I put it on and thought "Hmmm, will anyone take a look at this and think I'm wearing a crocheted shower cap?" But then I noticed how comfortable it was and how easy I could cover up a bad hair day, and now I'm making them in all different colors.
