I've really enjoyed making patterns with all of these different colors of blue yarn, but I think I'm finally starting to run low on blues, so I'll probably have to switch to some other color patterns soon.
Lately, I've been running out of crochet projects to make as I have made all of my friends and family members multiple crochet gifts. Luckily one of my friends decided to start crocheting, so it gave me the opportunity to make her a crochet needle case. Following my new rule of using only yarn that I already own, I finally found the perfect use for this dark purple, light pink, and bright pink yarn. I altered the pattern slightly so that the ripple pattern was more visible. Instead of changing colors every row, I changed colors after every fourth row.
After creating my first infant fishing hat, my mom requested
that I make one for a baby girl. Using
the same pattern as I did for Ezra’s Fishing Hat, I instead used a white yarn
with pale baby colors mottled throughout the yarn. For the rope, I used a baby blue and for the
lures I used two colors of light pink, baby green, baby yellow, and baby blue.
After browsing lots of
images of adorable babies in tiny fishing hats, I decided to make one for my
new baby cousin. I used a tan colored
yarn for the hat portion and a white for the rope around the brim. I modified the pattern slightly in adding the
rope onto the hat. I created the rope by
making a row of chain stitches a little longer than the diameter of the
hat. Then I weaved in the chain stitch
around the hat so that it could be tightened or loosened as desired. For the fishing lures, I cut 2 inch pieces of
yarn in red, yellow, and green. I tied
these small pieces into one of the half double crochet stitches and then I
pulled apart the threads of the yarn. I
then cut the lures to the size that I desired.
