Crochet hats!

Sorry I haven't been posting on here much, I have been very busy with my new job. What a rubbish phrase, and used far too often by too many people...


Anyway, I made the first of these hats much earlier in the year

This is my hat for me to wear, I made the butterfly using the most commonly found butterfly pattern and the hat was made using a pattern-plan as opposed to an actual pattern.
Magic ring with 10 dc (US sc), then 2dc in one stitch, dc in next stitch around into those ten, next round 2 dc, dc, dc, continuing each subsequent round with one extra dc before the 2 dc.
Once you get up to the size you want for the crown, plain dc into each stitch for as many rounds as necessary.

I made another one on this basis, which I will be sending out to my best friend from High School for her first baby, and I hope it will fit her!

 
I also crocheted this last one for the second baby that Amy, my school friend, is still cooking up and I must be a psychic because she told me two days after I finished the hat that baby 2 is a girl!

So here are the two little hats together.

I have been wondering if the little cream hat will be big enough, but since I didn't have a baby close to hand to check the sizes on I just have to hope.
If not, I guess bibbit #2 can have it once she is big enough

I have also been making lots of snowflakes, thanks to the wonderful Birthday present my sister bought me and once I have some photos of those done I will post them up in a blog. All design credits for those are reserved and I will make sure that is stated clearly, I also won't be able to share any patterns, but will give you the title and author of the book!
It really is wonderful though, I cannot thank my sister enough for such a thoughtful gift!
