Hats galore!

I have been hat making lately. And seems that everyone wants one now. I went to Ben Franklin to buy yarn and I was wearing this hat (ignore the fat aging chick wearing the hat) And the cashier ordered 2 from me. Same pattern I have used before just single crochet band instead of slip stitch.

Then I made hats for Fluffy and Noodle and their friends at school are going bananas for some. Seems I am going to be doing a lot more hats!
Here is Noodle in hers. 

Here is the pattern http://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/LW3558.pdf but let me give a bit of advise.
Instead of 16 rows before the ear flap I did 18 for Noodle. 16 makes it super short and not workable at all.

Hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying some yarn time. I am making hats and matching fingerless gloves for my kids and grandkids. And slipping in a few for me too :)

  1. How cool that people are commenting on and want your crochet hats! I like yours in the green. I has a nice textured look. And that ear flap hat on your daughter is adorable! Glad you are feeling like crocheting. It's getting to be that time of year. Where do you live anyway? Is it England or do you live here in the good ol' USA. For some reason I think you are across the pond in England,. Maybre it's because of your unusual name. What eveh
