Pom-Poms

I've been playing with pom-poms lately, and have added a few to previously completed hats.

Here's the completed pink-tailed elf hat:

 

Blue & Cream

This blue & cream-colored hat was created with single crochet stitching, and front-post/back-post double crochet for the ribbing.

Cat Toy

It seems that the cats are constantly trying to steal scraps of wool roving out of my yarn collection, and leaving them scattered throughout the house. So I figured I'd try to keep them out of my stuff by making a cat toy out of the scraps. Success!

I made the fish using wool roving, cotton stuffing, and a pinch of catnip.

Cupcake Hat

This cupcake is my latest (and most delicious!) creation yet. 

Materials:
Red Heart SuperSaver (100% acrylic), Light Pink
Red Heart SuperSaver (100% acrylic), Brown
Lily Sugar 'n Cream (100% acrylic), Sage Green 

Pattern:

For the upper portion of the cupcake, I began with a simple newborn hat pattern using single crochet, alternating rounds of single crochet with increasing rounds. Once the top was large enough, I created the ruffled edge using a combination of SC, HDC, & DC stitches. 

The ribbed lower portion, representing the cupcake wrapper, was created entirely in DC, alternating front post & back post stitches. 

For the rose, I modified this rose pattern to create a smaller version of the flower and leaves. 

The sprinkles on the cupcake were actually the hardest part. To create those, I tied several knots on a long piece of yarn, then pulled the knots to the visible part of the hat while leaving the rest of the yarn visible on the underside. 

Clown Fish Hat

Materials:
Red Heart SuperSaver (100% acrylic), Orange
Red Heart SuperSaver (100% acrylic), White

Pattern:
The finished hat size is approximately 15.5" around with a 5.5" rise. This pattern (in PDF format) is available for $3 on Ravelry and on my Etsy shop. 


Technique: 
This hat was constructed in several pieces and then sewn together. This pattern uses the magic circle, single crochet (SC), double crochet (DC), half-double crochet (HDC), treble crochet (TC), & slip stitch. Increasing and decreasing stitches is required.
