The One with the Twinkle in His Eye - Minion

This was made to order from my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/antijolly).  I added a little flare in his eye.  I think that it makes this one just a little bit better than some of my others.  I have 3 more orders to go.  So time to make some more hats.

Here is the pics:




Thanks,

Nathan & Ethan Yellow Minion Hats

Got two more done!  A few more to go.  It's been fun to attempt to give each of them a personality and not make them exactly the same.




Let me know if you need one.  I can point you to a tutorial or I can whip one up for you if you are not the crafty type.  Check out my Etsy store here:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/AntiJolly

Thanks for looking,
Heather

Blue Green & Yellow Stripe Hat with Matching Cowl

This has been my favorite cowl for a long time.  Anyone that knows me knows that I don't leave home without it when it's chilly outside.  I finally got to making a matching hat for it.  So much fun!



The pattern for the hat can be found here:  Pattern

Sorry there is no pattern for the cowl.  It was worked in a flat panel of double crochet stitches about a foot and a half long by two and a half feet wide.  When finished I stitched the two foot and a half sides together.

I used Vanna White Yarns by Lion Brand.  They have so many beautiful colors and they are so soft.

A Cowl, Some Wash Rags, and a Couple of Hats

A few more projects to share. 

This is my favorite Cowl - I love the colors and it was super easy as I just double stitched until I like the size and randomly changed out the colors.


My son's hat.  This color combo is so in right now! The base pattern can be found Here.
I adjusted it by not using the special stitches
  

Made this hat for myself since I couldn't help myself when I saw this color yarn.  I will probably never find it again so I had to use it for myself.  I will have to make a matching cowl so I have a complete set. It uses the pattern above as well as a base.  I just had to make it bigger to fit an adult this one followed the special stitches.

 
And last for the day my wash cloths.  These are just done with a single stitch.  So easy and fast.

Crochet My Day Away AntiJolly Style

I have been on a huge kick of making crochet hats.  Here are the images of the many I have made so far.  If you feel like trying to make these on your own I will include the links below.  If you feel like you would like for me to do the grunt work email me or leave a comment and I am sure we can come up with something.  I do have an Etsy Shop here: AntiJolly Etsy Shop

A Little girl and her baby should always have matching hats - see pattern link below

One for every kid in the family - Infant, Toddler, and Young Child - see pattern link below

Used striped hat pattern below but made this one larger for my big dude.

Colorful Granny made from scraps - Made larger but followed Granny pattern below

For the baby next door - so soft infant hat - see link to pattern below

This one was off to New Mexico - Keeping the head of a dear friend warm - Variation of the Striped Hat and made larger for an adult.

Another Adult sized Granny Hat using the link here just made larger.


 
The pattern for the Granny Hat can be found here:  Rainbow Beanie
All of the other hats in this post are variations of the hat found here: Striped Crochet Hat

I have been having a blast experimenting and making changes to patterns to see what works for me and can't wait to see what I find next to work on.  With so many babies coming in the near future I am going to have to get more yarn.

Have a great night and thanks for reading.  Feel free to leave comments!
