owl hats, my FaVoRiTe

So First you have this....

Then you get this!

 

I know, I know, nothing new, you have seen many of these and they are all the same. I just really enjoy making these. They are about the only project I actually finish.

Here is a close up.

The yarn I use is so soft and pretty

Lion Brands Baby First is the yarn. It is cotton yarn and it is the best when making these little owl hats.

I would use this yarn for all my projects if it came in different colors and wasn't so pricey.

To me pricey is $5.99  But when I use my michaels coupon it is only $3.  I can live with that.

And here they are before the faces. Pretty boring right?

And here we have it! So much character!  My friend asked me to make these for her niece who is having twins. I hope she enjoys them. (I think she will)

more scratched off the list...

This sock monkey was a special request to make it blue instead of red!

What do you think?

This order is for a brother and sister...so cute!

And the owl hats are my favorite! I just love selected fun colors!

Thanks for looking! gotta get busy again!

a little extra time...

I was able to make one for my daughter! I love the colors and she has a really nice coat and it matches perfectly.

this was done with loops and threads charisma yarn, it is extremely soft.

I used a g hook, 14 rows down and 48 stitches across.

I still have orders coming in so off I go to stich some mo'.

I will be updating my waiting list daily.

not just for kids?

So if I'm making  them for everybody else I figure I should have one for myself. I mean, i do need to stand behind my product!  At first I thought they were just too cute for kids but now I'm liking it for myself.

The pattern I'm using is just one I made up myself. In the beginning I started with a pattern but never got the sizing right because I would use different types of yarns and hooks.

So here is one I whipped up for myself. I wore it today out in public and i felt kinda spunky!  And a little immature but you know what? I love it. I think it turned out so cute and if I'm going to sale them then I think I need to wear one too! I made this one out of my favorite yarn lately, it's called Loops and Threads country ?  And on all the hats I've been making I have been stitching a half double crochet throughout. 

  soooo not just for kids?

And then I just finished another sock monkey hat, this was  a special order for my friend at work. I LOVE this! I'm getting faster and better with each hat. And I got another order today for 5 more sock monkey hats. I had to put together a waiting list! I'm about 2 weeks out!

And I'm linking up to these parties:

Make something monday

its out of control!

I have a waiting list for these owl hats!
So far I have to make 10 more owl hats. Some people have ordered just one while others are ordering 2 or 3! I don't know how much longer I can keep up but I sure am having fun!

I love this color combo. A friend at work asked for these colors and I think it turned out so cute!

for my info: used H hook, 14 rows down 56 stitch across. I have been putting down this info in case I want to make this exact hat again then I know how many stitches to do because I have not been following a certain pattern.

This one also turned out perfect! This fits anywhere from 2-8 year old. I used a g hook 48 stitches around and 13 rows down.

What makes this so much fun is hearing about the stories when the parents are giving them to there kids. One of my friends gave one to her grandaughter. Her grandaughter is 7 and loved the hat so much they had to take several pictures! Her grandaughter also said " I don't think anyone at school has one of these!" She thought it was cool that it was really unique and you know she is absolutely right! I have seen the character hats in stores and they got nothing on these!

Thanks so much for looking!

this is why...

my friend came into work with her new baby!  And remember my latest owl  hat? Well it fit her perfect!

look how cute it is! those hats are 10x adorable when on a baby! Once everyone saw that the orders started pouring in!

here's one right here! I love these sock monkey hats! I'm selling them for $20. So far I need to make 2 more then I need to get busy fulfilling all my owl hats orders.

I use a half double crochet throughout and i started with pattern  but had to adjust it because I could not get the gauge right. I ended up using a b hook (i know tiny) and 2 strands of yarn just trying to get the gauge right.

And I struggled with the ears trying to follow a free pattern so I just bagged it and made up my own pattern for the ears. I wish I could share it with you but you wouldn't understand (because my instructions suck). You probably notice I have no tutorials on my blog...its because I'm horrible at trying to explain things and it is VERY TIME consuming. That is why i appreciate everyone who takes the time to write up free patterns and tutorials.

And this one is sold...yay! Thanks so much for looking! gotta run...
