Cotton Unisex Fedora

I've created a new hat! This one's a unisex fedora made from cotton yarn. The crown is made from two strands and the brim is three stands. The color is "Camel" with a black band.

Mary J Blige Reflections Hat (CrochetDad version)

I was inspired by the hat worn by Mary J. Blige on the cover of her "Reflections" album. Her hat was apparently knitted, but since I don't knit well, I decided to try one in crochet. This is the result, in cotton yarn.

My daughter, Cambria has claimed this one, but I've had requests for more. The pattern is in the works, which I'll hopefully be selling on Etsy and Lulu.

I forgot to pack a hat...

I forgot to pack a hat on a recent trip, so I crocheted one. I like this hat, so I'm working on the pattern to sell. Made with 2 strands of cotton yarn, it's very comfortable.

Matching Hat and Mittens

The hat and mittens shown are for a customer who ordered the hat for her granddaughter after buying one for herself.

The mittens are my first attempt at making mittens. Enjoy.

Dreadlocks Wig for Halloween

My son asked if I could crochet him a dreadlocks wig for Halloween. Never one to turn down a crochet project, I started immediately. That was back in June. This seemed to take forever.

I started with a net-type cap and added a chain of 50, then crocheted slip stitches back down the chain for the dreads.

He's pleased with the result.

My New Favorite Hat

I just finished this hat, and it's a keeper! I wear it all the time, and have gotten many complements and even a request for one!

When my son-in-law saw it, he called it my Riverboat Gambler. I like the name, so that's what I'm calling it, too.

New Pattern Available

I've added a new pattern to my Etsy Store.

The pattern can be made as a beanie or a cap with brim. The bling band is made from soft drink pull-tabs.

I've shown some examples of the color changes to make your hat unique.

The pattern is also available on my Lulu Store for direct download.
