Bell Hat and CAL-Doily


From Hats


From Hats

This new hat has quite a different story to tell, first I had a hard time deciding what pattern to use, second, after knowing what pattern to use, I do not have the required yarn indicated in the pattern, the pattern says worsted weight, and all I have is from ultra-fine to sport-weight yarn.

It took me two days to decide what to do with my dilemma, I want to make a hat for my in-laws, but because of limited yarn supply and with only 7mm hook, I cannot make a bigger hat fit for an adult.

Therefore, I decided to combine two sport-weight yarns with colors old rose and baby pink. The result is remarkable, the first angle is modeled by my youngest daughter -Abbie...she can't wait to try it out. My eldest -Angel, models the second, they both called it a bell hat, because of its shape. Actually, I got the pattern from the internet by Melissa Rotert from Crochet Me just click the link to get you there.

I'm also doing a CAL- from Crochet Allsorts its a Heart Doily, and it is done by stage. So far the group is still on the 1st stage, I just finished the 1st stage yesterday so I decided to post it along the hat I finished last Monday.
