XMAS HATS - HIS AND HERS


free crochet patterns, crochet hats, beanies, christmas, xmas, how to crochet,


XMAS Hat in Santa's colours

will keep your ears and head warm

this Christmas and during the cold winter months


This Christmas my darling and I are going to be wearing matching crochet hats in Santa's colours, just for a bit of fun! 

And so you can have some fun too, I have decided to give you a Christmas gift of this XMAS HAT Pattern

This stylish unisex crochet XMAS Hat is great for when the temperatures drop and the wind blows. It is designed with a crochet cotton lining which is soft on the skin and ever so comfortable to wear, while the crochet aran outer layer keeps your head warm and toasty.

XMAS Hat is a simple striped crochet hat with the added bonus of a cotton lining. All you need to know is how to crochet in the round, how to single crochet, how to crochet in the front loop and back loop, how to change colour every round.

Suggested Yarns

My two (2) favourites for this project are Hayfield Bonus Aran with Wool for the outer layer, and King Cole Cottonsoft DK for the inner lining. You will need two (2) hooks 5mm and 4.5mm. The aran colours I chose are: Deep Red 830 and Ivory Aran 962; and the cotton colour is: Ecru 711.

You can substitute the yarn if you wish, just remember to check the YARNSUB website, to get the best match.



This pattern was available as a LIMITED TIME FREE PATTERN until Christmas Day, offer ended Christmas morning GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

AMETHYST Winter Hat


crochet patterns, how to crochet, hats, beanies, winter hats, men, women,

WINTER IS COMING!


No matter how many hats I have for winter, every autumn I feel the need for a BRAND NEW HAT for the coming winter, and this year it is no different. There is always room for another warm hat to be added to my collection of hats. Don't you agree?

Yarn Talk


For this my first crochet hat for winter I am using King Cole RIOT Chunky, which I bought a couple of weeks ago.  A wool mix yarn 30% Wool and 70% Acrylic with a splash of colourful multi-tonal shades and I chose the purple mix, called Rhinestone (Shade: 1692 Rhinestone), closest to my favourite colour.  The Riot Chunky yarn comes in 100g balls so you only need one (1) ball to make this winter hat. As you can see in the photo the gradual colour change in the yarn has made the hat look as though I changed colour in every round, I just love this yarn! 



You can substitute the yarn if you wish, just remember to check the YARNSUB website, to get the best match.

New Winter Hat


AMETHYST Winter Hat is the name of my new design for winter 2017 the colours remind me of my favourite gemstone of the same name, which I always wear around my neck.  This chunky yarn crochet hat is going to be lovely and warm, the yarn label recommends 6mm hook, however, I have used 5mm hook for a denser fabric and I have also included a cotton lining to prevent any possible itchiness from the wool blend yarn, as well as making the hat warmer. Of course, the cotton lining is optional you can make and wear the hat as is, I just prefer it with a lining.

Rowan Yarn - Scarf, Hat, Mittens

how to crochet, crochet patterns, waffle stitch, honeycomb, lattice, mittens, scarf,


It's just amazing how fast a week can pass and how little crocheting I have done, obviously there have been other things on my plate. Needless to say, I am totally over this dreaded URTI which has been hanging around for way too long now, coming on 5 weeks, aargh! OK that's enough moaning, let's be positive and focus on happiness, which means focusing on crochet of course. 

I am so happy with the outcome of my new crochet project - keyhole scarf, mittens and the honeycomb lattice beanie hat. I couldn't decide on a contrast colour and thought I would try something different from what I would normally choose, something like the grey or the berry? but in the end I stuck to my favourite colour purple.


how to crochet, crochet patterns, waffle stitch, honeycomb, lattice, mittens, scarf,


AND here is the finished product - olive keyhole scarf, a kind of mini basketweave stitch, with a purple trim, and all my own design. I decided on this mini basketweave stitch as I was trying to complement the lattice  hat, and not match it exactly.

how to crochet, crochet patterns, waffle stitch, honeycomb, lattice, mittens, scarf,

ALSO it took me ages to work out the sizing for the honeycomb lattice beanie, I only had some old shorthand notes for the lattice stitch and trying to decipher my ancient scribbles was a bit more than a minor headache. Anyway, now I have a honeycomb lattice pattern which I can use anywhere. woo hoo!  

how to crochet, crochet patterns, waffle stitch, honeycomb, lattice, mittens, scarf,


I designed the hat to be quite simple, beanie style, loose fitting, and a simple one row of single crochet in purple to finish, so it matches the scarf.

AND NOW I have just spent the last four (4) days,  designing these fingerless mittens to match the keyhole scarf and honeycomb lattice beanie.

YES it took me a while to figure out how to get the pattern right and how I wanted them to fit.

how to crochet, crochet patterns, waffle stitch, honeycomb, lattice, mittens, scarf,
Of course that meant loads of trial and error, and loads of crochet and rip, until I manged to get it right, or basically until I was happy with the fit.

So happy, happy, happy! Late yesterday afternoon finished the first mitten, now going to make the second mitten and write down the pattern.

AND only God knows when I will actually have this pattern ready for release, so stay tuned. UPDATE - go to end of this blogpost for pattern shops.

JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN I have just tried using Picasa to compile a video with these photos and I've uploaded it to my Youtube account, so I could embed it here. Enjoy!
