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.

Newborn beanie and flower

Love this little beanie and flower.  The beanie, sized for a newborn,  is made of the baby blue and green acrylic yarns (Red Heart)  and is adorned with a crocheted flower over a felt base and a felt button on top. Perfect the new Spring baby!

The first flower I made was a little too big for this small hat so I changed the pattern a little.

 Instead of a full double crochet (dc), I did four half double crochets (hdc) and no edging.

The second flower is not a lot smaller but is a better fit for the beanie.  I cut a circle of white felt and added a felt button (purchased at Joann's).  Then sewed the items to the hat.

I like the felt button instead of a plastic or wood for a little one.

Hello !
