Green and white baseball cap

OK, here is the green and white baseball cap. 

 

I'm not sure which of the three patterns I like the best.  But... if I had to choose one, I would pick the pattern I used for the white with blue trim hat.  I think it is because of the half double crochet stitch -- I just like crocheting that stitch and I like the 'finished' look of the stitch.

Well, now I'm back to crocheting barefoot sandals.  I found a pattern I like, but I don't want to pay $5 for it.  So I'm working on another.  If I get the stitches right and the directions written correctly, I'll post the pattern.  Might be a while though....

As always, all caps are available at CraftyPastimes.etsy.com

White and blue baseball cap

These little baseball caps are so cute and fun to crochet.  This cap is a little larger than the white cap I made last week.  And I followed a different pattern using a half-double crochet (I really like this stitch).  I like the brim better on this cap.

 

Yesterday I found another pattern so I'm crocheting a new cap in solid green with white trim.   I'll let you know which of the three patterns I like the best.


Again, this cap is available at CraftyPastimes.etsy.com.

Baseball Cap

Look at this cap!  I just loved making it and am really happy with the finished cap.  Some little boy or girl will look soooo cute in it.  

A great cap for the summer baseball season and the perfect hat for a photo prop.

I crocheted the baseball cap in soft 100% cotton yarn which is just the right weight for warm weather.  This hat is crocheted in a double crochet stitch.

The hat measures 14" around -- 3 - 9 months old baby.

I found another pattern in a half-double stitch that I kind of like, too.   When I finish that one, I'll post a picture.

As before, if you like this cap, it is available at CraftyPastimes.etsy.com.

Obsessed with barefoot sandals

Remember a couple weeks back I mentioned that I purchased a set of barefoot sandal patterns.  The design I really liked looked relatively  easy to make -- keep in mind that I have been crocheting for yeaaaaarrrrrs.  I'm not an expert, but I can read a pattern and work most stitches.  For some reason, I just could not get beyond row 3.  The design was not what was in the picture.

So....   I gave up on that pattern.  My newly designed barefoot sandal is one I pictured earlier.

 

I like them a lot, but they do take a long time to crochet.  The thread is DMC #5 which is not too fine, but does require a bit of care not to get the thread turned around.

So, I decided I needed to create a simpler design and I used DMC #3 (a little heavier and easier to work with).   I like this one, too.

 

Now I just need to rewrite my directions and hope that I can follow my notes which are full of crossed out lines and erasures!

If you are interested in the last pair of sandals or a grey pair of the first, they are available at CraftyPastimes.etsy.com

Next on my 'to do' list is a little boy's baseball cap.  I saw a pattern which is really cute, but not free.  However, a pattern picture -- I forget the correct word -- was available so I'm counting rows, double crochets, and single crochets ( X    and     ---X--- ). 

I'll post a picture when I finish the cap.

Baby Barefoot Sandals

These are just the cutest things I've seen in ages.  Little girls love 'em, too. 

 

Next on my list of items to make is another pair of barefoot sandals for little girls, but these will be white, pink and coral with bead embellishments.  Some little girl will love them, too!
