Crochet babys hat

This gorgeous little girl is my daughter's sister Elea Sofie. She is always happy just like her sister was at that age and I was lucky enough to be allowed to use her as a model for my baby hat experiments.

I got a lot of Egyptian cotton from a local yarn shop that was closing down. I'm still a crochet novice so I need small projects if I'm to have any hope of finishing. But I needed a little bit more challenge than washcloths so I decided to have a go at baby hats.

 

I didn't use a pattern to make these so the size was a little bit of a gamble. (not completely true, I did try to follow this tutorial, but for some reason it didn't work for me so i decided to wing it) I got lucky with the first one who was the perfect fit for 4,5 months old Elea. But the sunhat was a little on the small side so that would probably fit a 1-3 months old better. 

I'm attending a summer crafting fair at the end of May and If I'm able to finish a few more of these I'll bring them with me

A little boys hat

Baby/children clothes was never on my ”to do” list when I bought my sewing machine. But when good friends decide to multiply it’s time to think new. This time it was a beautiful little boy that deserved a little "welcome this world" present. Looking for patterns online I discovered that there are very little to choose from for boys so I ended up making two hats with matching bibs. The pattern is the same as my granmother used.

My daughters’ words when she saw the finished hats was: “ahh… I wish you could sew when I was a baby because I’m sure I would have wanted one of those…” I take that as a compliment and hope the little man in eastern Norway agrees :)

Buttercup purse with sunhat

This purse is made by a pattern called “the Buttercup purse” (With some minor alterations) and those of you that want to try for you self will find the pattern here. The pattern for the hat is my own.
I planned to use this set for my trip to Spain later this spring. But that was before my mother saw it and asked if she could have it for mother’s day (that’s in February in Norway), and who can say no to their mother :)
