Yesterday was our From The Heart get together at the Ashland Library. It's really just a opportunity to get together with people and knit and crochet. Everyone works on whatever they want.
After I shared the 3 hats I made last week I decided to keep working on hats for another week and see how many I could have done by today. Including the original 3, the answer is 10! They are in the middle of collecting hats and scarves for local schools and I turned in these hats for boys. These will be for older boys because I purposely made them kind of large. They may not look like much here, but on the head, they actually look really nice. I used these patterns: Perfect Guy 2.0 beanie Chunky Guy Beanie They are the same hat but using different size yarn so the counts are a little different. But you could just go with the Chunky Guy and adjust the number of rows that you do. The patterns aren't as different as I expected. I also adjusted the number of rows that I did with each yarn. Most requied one extra row of double crochet. It's a very easy pattern and great for charity hats for men. The stitches are double crochet and single crochet in the back loop. That's it! The yarns I used are all 5 and 6 weight: Premier Puzzle Bernat Softee Chunky Permier Serenity Lion Brand Hometown I used an K hook on the 5 weight yarns and L on 6 weight. I will make more of these but not for a while. I'm going to return to my brother's blanket and my summer cardigan. I have a new charity blanket planned to start soon. I also dyed the additional fabric that I needed for Red Sunset so I hope to start the cutting for the borders Sunday and to get the binding on my veterans quilt.

Would I be correct in assuming that as you crochet into the back loop that there is a right and wrong side to these?

I'm sure hats geared towards guys will be more than welcomed because often I think they are overlooked. Comments are closed.
