Puff Stitch Hat

This is my completed crochet puff stitch hat. This hat pattern in by Teresa Richardson (The Crochet Geek on YouTube). I love this hat. It was very easy to make and I followed right along with the video tutorial. I was actually unfamiliar with the puff stitch before making this hat. I really like it though and it was easy for me to learn. Teresa is a great teacher. I am already thinking of a few patterns of my own that I can incorporate this stitch into. The flower in the picture is actually one of my own patterns. It is posted here on the blog: http://crochetcrazymama.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-bloom-pattern.html. I thought adding the flower made the hat even better. There are many ways you could accessorize a hat like this one. This was another awesome pattern by Teresa!

Striped Slouchy Hat

This is my new slouchy hat design! It took me a while to perfect it the way I wanted, but I am happy with the way it turned out. This is a beginner pattern. I will be sharing this pattern with you all today. So make sure to come back and look for it if you are interested. I would love to see how yours turns out! I made this one using RedHeart Super Saver yarn. I think depending on the yarn you use this hat will be a little slouchier. Is "slouchier" even a word? LOL Anyway, this hat is for an adult size, but decreasing the amount of stitches in the increase round, or using a smaller hook you could always make the hat smaller. The same goes for making it bigger, just use a larger hook, and/or add a few extra stitches to the increase round. Hope you all like it! :)
