I've been working on some new hats!

Since it's been so cold outside, I've been working on a bunch of new hats!

This one was probably the hardest stitch I've ever attempted.  It's crochet cables.  So hard at first!

Here's the pattern.

I thought I was doing really well and was almost finished but the right side of the cables seemed to be too straight.  So I had to frog it all back to the ribbed part and start over.  That time...I got it right and it was a lot of fun to finish!

This one is for my husband but I plan to make several now that I know I can and send them off for A Hat from Howard.

This one is from The Crochet Crowd's January 2015 challenge.

Womens Peaked Hat

This one was hard to get the size right.  The site suggests you add an extra 2 rounds, but that made it huge!  The green hat above was with an H hook and followed the pattern exactly.  It came out a little bit tight on my head.  

The hat below was with an I hook and I added 2 extra rows.  Gigantic!  I frogged it and followed the pattern exactl, but the bigger hook still made it pretty large.  I had to do a little bit of adjusting on the back to make it fit my head.  And I think I made the brim bigger than the pattern on accident, but it's still cute.  I made flowers to use instead of using buttons.   

In the end, not my favorite hat to make.

And then I made a random beanie and just used colors on-hand.  I really like it!
