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

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.
