Crocheted Headbands

I am loving these. They are so simple to make. I have made several for me and a couple for the girls.

This is what it looks like alone:

And on heads:

I like it because it makes a simple pony tail look more exciting. That's nice for a mom :)

Crochet: Flowers

I have crocheted lots of flowers lately! Here they are:

These first three are for my nieces: top left is Madison, top right is Kayla/Chloe, and bottom is Amy

Here are the rest:

Crocheted Headbands

I cannot believe it, but I actually made up a pattern in crocheting! Unbelieveable. I know, it is a simple pattern, but I am still shocked.

Here is my brown one.

McKenna's pink one

Also McKenna's pink one

My red one

Kaitlyn's red one

This is Kaitlyn's other one...I didn't write this pattern. I just made a different pattern smaller to create this.

Here is McKenna showing her pink one.

And her pink one with a bow

Crocheted Headbands

For my "jewelry" of the month with my SILs and MIL, I decided to crochet headbands. Above is how it looks on your head. 

And here is the back view. This is mine:

This is Laur's

This is Kristin's

This is Mel's (Mel, it isn't denim blue, but I LOVE the color and I think you will look fabulous in it. I want it ;) ).

and this is Bev's

oh, and this is Kaitlyn's little version:

Hats Hats Everywhere!

Here are all of my recent hats:

This is a hat for someone secret

McKenna in her pink and brown

Brayden in his black

The next two were for my dad's birthday. He loves the Yankees and Steelers:

Kaitlyn in her white

and her brown and cream (she likes to puff her cheeks full of air for pictures these days)

and I added to McKenna's first white one so it would be longer

Go big or go home, I always say :)

Crocheting Hats

Last Saturday, we had a girls night where we learned to crochet hats. I had a steep learning curve, but I eventually got it and even finished all by myself reading a pattern!

I mad this for Kaitlyn. The yarn was hard to work with. This is the one I made first.

Then I made this for McKenna. It was much easier yarn to work with. Now I need to find a masculine pattern and make one for Brayden.
