Cowls, Scarves & Hats Oh My!!

[pamelabd]

Been away from the boards for too long!! (over a year, I think)...sadly, this is how long I have also been away from Crochet!!

So, a very cold Fall arrives and I pick up my hook again. Sooo many patterns to try...a couple written by me...here's from my past week:

[kwality570]

They all look so cozy and snuggly.  I love the ear flap hats.  Are they your design?

[pamelabd]

The first one was a pattern I cought off etsy (I was curious as to the textured stitch used)...the 2nd one is just a basic hat pattern (I used chunky yarn). When the hat is the size you want, mark where you want the flaps to go and just crochet rows, decreasing every other row.

Do you have a pattern for those earflap hats?? they are adorable!! My boyfriend would love one for christmas!

[DreamyDahlia]

All of these are so snuggy looking and gorgeous!

[Bly]

Do you have a pattern for the turquoise scarflet?

[Kristinax]

These are all so awesome! My favorite is the cream colored hat in the 5th picture down! It looks so warm and wintery

[ronniebeth13]

I literally squealed when I saw the rose tam! My husband thought the cat had caught another mouse with as loud as I squeaked LOL!!!! A pattern or link to one would rock! You have great great talent my friend. I would love any one of these as an addition to my wardrobe (Or all of them LOL)

Peace,
Sharon

Smrtcookie,

The Earflap hat is just a basic hat pattern (I used chunky yarn). When the hat is the size you want, mark where you want the flaps to go and just crochet rows, decreasing every other row. For the top brim, attach furry yarn to the front of hat...crochet sc across from flap to flap, turn and continue crocheting rows until your flap is to your liking. Fasten off, fold up and button in place.

im loving that creamy cowl... ive never used giant crochet hooks but this makes me want to try! what size did you use and what kind of yarn is that? oh and did you make up the pattern? love the flappy hats too!

[pamelabd]

The cowl is done with a size Q hook and Wool Ease Thick & Quick (Lion Brand)....it is a continuous circle of sc but alternating back loop, front loop.

[ronniebeth13]

You are a rock star! Thank you!!!!

Peace,
Sharon

They're all great. I especially like the last one. The color is beautiful. Did you use the puff stitch for the hat and just sc the brim?

[spicecarrie]

the flap hats are fantastic!! love the beige one!

[michkoro]

These are all so beautiful!  I am addicted to crocheting hats, scarves and cowls as well,  and have made about 50 hats in one month!  I love the patterns you used, the finished pieces look so professional!  Good job!

Love all of these items. They are gorgeous. Could you tell me what type of yarn you used for the beret? I made a beret before but it came out pretty stiff. I wasn't happy with it. Thank you..

[pamelabd]

amethyst,

For the blue beret, I used Caron Simply Soft Chunky and for the red one, I used Lion Brand Jiffy....both very, very soft yarns

[StitchinMama]

I can't wait to try that cowl! Just single crochet front and back? 2 Skeins or 3? THANK YOU!

[pamelabd]

I just used 1 skein...if you want it larger, use 2 or 3.

[KharmicCurse]

I love these, you chose really great colors.

What is that first yarn? I'm going to have to search Etsy, I'm in love with whatever that stitch is. Did you find the pattern hard/confusing/badly written? I just got burned on a pattern buy, so I'm feeling cautious 

[edelC]

ack I am not a crochet fan, i am far too impatient, but that first hat almost makes me want to pick up a hook again. Can you tell me what size hook? yarn and what stitch did you use for the body of the hat...

[amethyst6]

amethyst,

For the blue beret, I used Caron Simply Soft Chunky and for the red one, I used Lion Brand Jiffy....both very, very soft yarns

Thank you so much for the info. I appreciate it. Now I will have to try this one again with these yarns.

[Rishloo]

Those are awesome!  I did the same pattern for that brown kerchief.  It was pretty but it fit awkwardly because of the way they did the straps.  Next time I think I'll mod it to be tied.

[Totallyblank]

Very, very nice! I've been wanting to make a hooded scarf for a long time, and now I feel inspired. Thanks!

[highxxfive]

I love the first hat, and the other one that looks like it!
What stitches did you use for both?

[GBAL]

hi there,

Could someone tell me what yarn is used for the furry looking brim on the grey hat in the first picture/post?  I'm in the UK so if anyone had an idea of what yarn I could substitute, that would be great.  I like that darker colour too so I'm looking for a dark yarn. 

I found something similar but it only came in "baby" colours, white, pink, light blue etc.

thanks for any help
