Amaya's new hat

Amaya's new hat
Originally uploaded by CrochetDad

My granddaughter, Amaya wanted a hat! Boy was I excited! I said "what color?" She said "Wellow". Since I'm a Los Angeles Lakers fan, I added a purple band. I might produce a pattern for this. It came out well.

Now she asked "Can you make a pink one?"  Guess what?  - I'm making a pink one, of course.

Crochet Pattern finished for Unisex Ribbed Fedora

After seemingly unending modifications, I've finally finished the pattern for my Unisex Ribbed Fedora.  Sizes available for Toddler/Youth (18-19 inches), Small Adult (20-21 inches, and Large Adult (22-23 inches).

As many of you know, I'd rather crochet than write patterns, but I've had so many requests for this pattern, I felt I'd better get something out there or I'd lose some credibility.

This hat is now the hat I wear everyday.  I've had many nice comments from people I meet.   

The shape of the brim and crown shape is maintained by nylon line - you know, the kind that is used in lawn edge trimmers. 

Final Version of Fedora

I think I'm satisfied with this version of my Fedora.  Next comes documenting the pattern.  The hat band will be different (this version was done hastily so I could wear the hat to my grandson's soccer game - team colors are Maroon and White).
