 special order batman hat, what more can i say?!

baby owl hat

this may just be my favorite baby owl hat yet! this was for an old hs friend's baby, made from all cotton yarn, and super soft. it's also the smallest i've made yet, to fit 0-3 months (though i hope it'll stretch a little more...). love the sleepy owl look!

monkey pirate!

do i even need any sort of caption here? the monkey pirate hat has to be one of my favorites yet!

pink frog

so if i was a little skeptical about a blue puppy dog, you can only imagine what i was thinking when my hubby wanted me to make a pink frog for his neice for Christmas. and i must admit, if i liked the blue puppy, i LOVE the pink frog... way to think outside the box hubby!

nothing like big bulbous eyes to make a frog look great!

and lots of green spots, cause a frog looks better with spots!

and my personal favorite touch, a classic little black fly at the end of her tounge!

ribbit!

puppy dog hat

so when my husband told me he wanted a blue and white puppy dog hat for his nephew for Christmas, i must admit i was a little skeptical, but i LOVE how it turned out!

 i had some fluffy white yarn on hand from a long time ago, and it even had blue flecks in it, so i thought it would make a nice base color, and i couldn't be more pleased with how it looks! i was able to match the blue pretty much exactly, so the mis-matched ears and the spot by the eye worked great.

after that, all he needed was a little pink tounge!

wendy hat

in honor of my awesome sister-in-law, wendy (who loves purple and all things french), i made this purple woolen beret. i also made one exactly the same, but cotton (same color though) for a friend of mine that liked this one so much but lives in a warmer climate :)

girl shark

the last shark-hat i made was clearly for a boy... this one had to be dolled up with a double bow and 'killer' eyelashes, and made of soft alpaca wool. 

(ps my model's only 5, but the hat was for a 10 yr old girl, so it looks a little big in the picture)

Christmas Owls

we LOVED these hats (hopefully my adorable nieces do too!) even my baby was playing with them--and he doesn't like hats!



these cute little owls have mittens to match, cause it's always fun to accessorize! note too, i did add eyelashes to the bigger owl, and i also added the matching purple string to the sleepy baby mittens after the picture was taken

 

close-up of the larger hat, I LOVE this orange chenille yarn, this particular color was left over from a previous hat, but i look forward to getting more of the super-soft yarn for future projects!

 

and a close-up of the sleepy baby owl, it was looking a little plain, so R (my 3-yr-old) said i should add a bow:


 

great idea R!



fireman hats (and another owl)

it's been hard to get anything posted on this website lately, because almost everything i've been working on has been for christmas, and i wouldn't want to risk people figuring out what their gifts are ;). these cute little firehats are for my girls' best friends, two brothers who love firemen/trucks/etc... naturally these little firefighters have plenty of gear, but i thought a little winter-weather appropriate hat might be nice :). we gave them to the boys yesterday, and their mom informed me that they love them, so it's good enough for me! Merry Christmas J & D!

also another of the cute little sleepy owl hats for a sweet little toddler. i loved the turquoise-purple combo--one of my personal favorite owl-hats to date!

newsboy hat

this little beauty is for a friend, made from alpaca yarn, it's super-soft, and just a bit slouchy. It looks huge on my 5-yr old, but I promise, I made it to fit my friend :). We loved working in the little flower... just a bit girly, but not too much.

I'll have lots more new posts and ideas up after Christmas--amazing how limited I am in what I can post till then!

big and small owl hats

these hats are so fun and cute, they're made to match, one child and one adult, colors and type of yarn chosen by the buyer. after all, what girl doesn't like pink and purple?

 switching it up a little for a grown-up owl hat is a necessary for me, so i mixed the gray in, and gave it a little more of a sassy adult look :)

more owl hats

everyone loves a good owl hat :)

i made these for a couple girls in my girls' ballet class... i would sit and crochet and talk to the other moms, and they were a big hit. naturally, the new owners get to pick out the colors. my 3-yr old and i had an idea too, to try for the next one, with a fade in color moving from one solid color on top to another at bottom, but something mixed in between for the fun of it. if anyone's interested in trying that, let me know :)

acorn cap

 note the earflaps and ties, makes it a lot easier to get it to stay on baby's head, and it's cute to boot!
