Featured Designer - Elk Studio's Southern Comfort Hat

I Loved making this crochet hat pattern

and loved the cross over stitch.

I had never done that stitch before

 and it really gives it a cool look.

The Pattern is designed By
Kathy Lashley of  

ELK Studio 
Handcrafted Crochet Designs

Here is her Blog:

ELK Studio - Southern Comfort Hat

The pattern is well written 

and easy to follow.

I Love the Red and Beige Hat

 featured on her blog.

I used Vanna's Choice yarn.

Its soft and light.

I was going for a beachy look.

I think I nailed it!

I Love it!

The hat is a perfect fit and

 I already love wearing it.

This hat is designed for Chemo patients.

 This cause is dear to my heart 

as my mom passed away from Breast Cancer 

last July. She went through Chemo, 

and lost all her hair.

Sun hats are very important for 

Chemo patients

 as they are not used to the sun

 on their bald heads, and burn easily. 

But also, All it takes is a breeze

 to blow in and their head gets cold.

My mom would get cold sitting 

in an air conditioned 

room in the summer.

Crochet For Cancer

They have many crochet hats to make, 

as well as videos of hats to make.

I made many of these for my mom.

Super Easy Bunny Hat By Suzie's Stuff

Did you see the Bunny Comfort Blanket

 I posted yesterday?

You can read about it here:

Bunny Comfort Lovie

Well I made a hat to go with it!

I used the a Granny hat

By Suzies Stuff

(just click above for the pattern) 

I sized it down to fit my grand daughter.

Then I used the ears crochet pattern

From the Bunny Blanket.

The ears are great, because

 they stand up pretty good

 with out using any wires or pointy stuff.

I used the same yarns I used for

 the bunny Lovie, also.

This pattern is perfect because it is an 

open weave granny stitch, 

so its not so warm to wear.

And it whips up pretty fast.

Bunny Comfort Blanket Crochet Pattern By Selena Baca

This is my Bunny Comfort Blanket 

or as some call them Bunny Lovie. 

 It was designed By 

Selena Baca of Baca Creations

 for Red Heart yarns.

I used Red Heart Yarn, 

Sherbet print for the main color, 

Periwinkle for the inside of the ears,

 Trimmed with White. 

 I added a pompom for a fluffy tail.
