Tammy's HDC Ear Flap Hats for Jr

What an absolute blast it is to see another crocheters work made from a pattern that you wrote.
Below are some pictures from Tammy, she made 3 hat's in one day and was onto her fourth when she told me the news. Tammy is from the States and she used 4 ply yarn and her favourite 6.5mm hook to make her hats.

This is Jr's favourite hat, front view.

How clever, Jr requested a spiderman hat with out ties.
Thank you Tammy for allowing me to use the photo's of Junior.

I made these 3 hats today

I really wish I had the time to write down all the patterns for the hat designs I come up with.
Writing a pattern takes so much time, I can make 4 to 5 hats in the time it takes to write a pattern, I do get some patterns up on my blog, but not as many as I would like to.
Below are some pictures of 3 hats I designed in 1 day.

Pink with cream spike.
Cream wave.
Simple black ear flapper hat with a folded peak.

Childs HDC Ear Flap Hat Pattern

Finally another free pattern to share.
This hat is for a child from 4 to 10, but can fit a little loosely on a 2 yr old and firmly up to 14. I have had it on my head and it barely fits, my head size is an adults meduim to small.
The hat fits my 4 yr old grand son just perfect and was a little loose on my 2 yr old but he still looked good in it. I hope to have some pictures of them wearing the hats soon.
I also used a hook 1 size smaller, same ply yarn and made the hat to fit a baby 6 to 12 months old.
The hat is made with the hdc st and works up quite fast, I have included a video tutorial for the hdc st at the bottom of the page.
If you make this hat, I would love to hear your feed back.
Enjoy.


I put a small flower on each side of the pink hat and a couple of buttons on the blue hat.

In the picture below I used a 4mm hook with the same pattern directions, this fits a 2 yr old.
 
In the picture below, I am showing you what I am referring to in the pattern as the centre back st.

In the picture below, I am showing you where to sc twice when you make the edging for the hat.
