Premmie hat 2 of 3

So for the 2nd premmie hat for my friend's triplet. I did the puppy hat with droopy ears.
I sewed the pair of ears 3rd row from the brim and match it on both sides.
So, again, the hat is based on this pattern, and I made the ears.

Make 2 of these:
Ch 4

R1 sc from 2nd ch from the hook

R2 ch 2, hdc across (3)

R3 ch 2, hdc in the same, and hdc across (4)

R4 ch 2, hdc in the same, and hdc across (4)

SC all the way around

bind and leave a long tail for sewing

Premmie hat 1 of 3

So a friend of mine is going to have triplets... via good o' natural way. Since we know that they are going to have 3 girls, I made 3 hats for them.

I've been playing around with premmie patterns because work has a donation program to a local hospital, so I have been making hats anyway. For her 3 babies, I made animal themed hats.

This is a little kitty hat. The base of the hat is the same, I used the pattern here, but for the ears, I made it up myself.

Make 2:

R1 magic ring, sc 4

R2 2sc each

R3-5 sc each

leave a long tail and sew it on that hat

As promised, this is the Ladies version of the hat yesterday.
I used buttons for eyes instead of the amigurumi locked eyes, simply because if you're wearing it, you don't want something to keep poking at you. So, I decided on the button instead.
The ears, I accidentally used the nose pattern, but it came out pretty good. So, maybe give it a try.

Owl hat - part 1

For Xmas, the only gifts I handmade were these owl hats. I had told one of our friends that I had a student asking to learn how to make an owl hat, and the friend mentioned that she attempted it but was unsuccessful due to wrist pains.
Since I got the pattern anyway, I wanted to make something for them. So, this is the men's version of the hat. I know, irony abound, but there's nothing wrong with that.
Pattern is based on Daisy Cottage but I used the guidelines for adult hats to expand that. I found a good reference for sizes here. Lady's version tomorrow!

I saw this on TipJunkie. It's kinda neat to crochet a gift tag for the gifts you'll be giving.

Now, I know I've been on radio silence, but I've been knitting. Promise! Show you the progress hopefully next week... I'm getting close.

Crochet Dream Catcher

I like this dreamcatcher like crochet ornament. Of course, that is very close to a granny square, except you incorporate a mini hoop. Definitely need to try that.

Troll around

Hi I'm not dead, I promise! I am getting over a cold... still, hecking up a lung and trying to finish knitting the back of a sweater that I've been working on quite some time now; say about a year. I took it w/ me to my trip overseas last year and this year I'm not wearing it, so I really need to get a move on.

Meantime, I was just trolling around, and found this. Their captions are just hilarious and they found some pretty obsurd crochet stuff. Go look!
