At least Miss Fashionista likes it

I made two of these yesterday, one for each of my girls.  Iona, who is the least trend conscious of the pair, looks great in hats, and thinks anything I make is just fabulous, put hers on and said: 'Oh my goodness.  I look so ugly."

Not a winner then.  But Eilidh, who would rather wear nothing at all than be seen in something she dislikes (true story), hasn't taken hers off.  She even turned up for breakfast in her pyjamas and hat.  Fair enough.  I'm good with pleasing some of the children some of the time.

Two hats in one day with this pattern is a piece of cake.  Truly. I actually made three, probably four if you count the early cack-handed attempts at learning the pattern (I'm not fluent in crochet-ese). If you used the thicker yarn and bigger hook that the pattern specifies (I used what I had - we're doing that a lot around here these days) you could probably knock one off with your morning cup of tea.

I want one! And I know a girl (or six) that would look too great in this.
Enough to get me to learn, finally, to crochet.
And using what you have is the best way to go, I think. Makes you realize all the little stuff around you that might get overlooked if you didn't need it.
Take care,
Tara

OOH I so wish I knew how to read a crochet pattern! This would look soooo cute on my niece.

Need I say more?
Crochet ahoy!

Gorgeous. I love that blue - if I crocheted I'd make one immediately.

I have a new found fascination with all things crochet, so thanks for the pattern link. Her hat is very fetching!

Oh, joy! Thank you so much for posting a crochet pattern. Most bloggers knit like crazy and I am hopeless at that. But this is so cute and crocheting is something I do know how to do. I look forward to checking out this pattern.
