Work In Progress: Some Sort of Hat

Considering that I have the word "hats" liberally distributed through everything about SweetShop Creations, it has occurred to me that I should actually make some.

So here's what I'm working on right now...

...wonder what the finished product will look like...

Peace!

New Item: Estonian Earwarmer!

Hello SweetShoppers! So do you remember last week's yarn of the moment? I'm happy to say it's been turned into this:

The Estonian Earwarmer!! 

Basically, it's a thick basketwoven headband in a neutral multicolored yarn that goes with everything.

New Item: Papergirl Hat! (and yes, more earrings...)

Hello SweetShoppers!

I realized the other day that although one of my original ideas for the SweetShop was to make hats...I hadn't made one in a while. So I got out the trusty K hook and some gray acrylic yarn that was just begging to be used...and came up with this...

The PaperGirl Hat! See, it's not really a newsboy cap, so why not call it a papergirl. It was either that or call it  the Baggy Gray Pseudo-Rasta Tam with Curvy Brim and Elastic. Brevity always wins. 

Also, because I just cannot stop myself, it seems, I've made even more Curly-Wurly earrings...yay! (Or should that be, ~sigh~?)

Peace, y'all!

New Item: Winter Tam

The derfy look on my face is what happens when I've taken fifteen great pictures and decide to go for one...more...shot...just in case.

 

S'what I get for being vain.

 

I don't usually work in stripes. No real reason, I just don't often think of hat designs or any designs featuring stripes. I'm more of a color block girl, I think. But these colors coordinated so beautifully and unexpectedly, I thought I'd do a warm winter version of the rasta tam. 

The yarn is a beautiful wool/alpaca/silk blend that is fuzzy and gorgeous and soft.

The hatband is elasticized and the hatband folds up and around in all sorts of fun bendy ways.
 

That facial expression...look, you've seen other pics of me. All I can do is say my eyes are usually the same size, and I do, in fact, have a chin. Focus on the hat, people. The hat. It will make you look gorgeous, even if you're making a derfy face.

 There's no big story behind this pattern, I just wanted to make something that looked like a baseball cap for those bad hair days, but was a lot cuter. I made quite a lot of these last year and became thoroughly sick of making them...but because they sold so well last year, I've brought them back! 

It's such a simple pattern that I can whip up two in a day...so I make them to order, in the color you choose, using Caron Simply Soft yarn and my trusty K hook.

The hat band is elasticized, which is tricky because the brim has a little extra stiffness and bend and I don't want the hat to get too bulky. 

I wish I'd also made that glorious tomato red sweater on the model, but alas. We have thrift stores and a good eye to thank for it's appearance on this blog.
