Yesterday, I spent the day crocheting a hat for Daffny. She has a 1930s lawn party coming up and needed a purple hat to go with her outfit.
The pattern has a braided hat band and crochet bow but I also included some 1940s millinery flowers so she can swap them out for different looks. I can't wait to see how it looks with her dress!
Today, I wanted to share a crochet pattern from my collection. This set includes a hat bag and gloves from the 1950s. If you've never knitted or crocheted before, small projects like these are a great place to start. A hat teaches increase and decreases so by the time its done, you'll have the skills to crochet all kinds of things. Although I am a huge fan of knitting, I love crochet because it comes together so quickly. You can learn any stitch you need on YouTube and Ravelry is also a great source for patterns and crochet information.
So cute! I'm going to take a crochet class later this summer! I can't wait to start crocheting all of the cute vintage patterns like this! :D

ReplyDeleteWhat a terrifically sweet, thoughtful present. This cheerful topper is really lovely and I'm sure the violet shade will look amazing against Bunny's dark locks.

That's exactly what I was thinking! She has the prettiest skin and hair and I think this purple will look gorgeous on her!!
DeleteThat is so sweet of you!
ReplyDeleteLovely hat, she will love it I'm sure. And thank you for the patterns. I haven't tried an english pattern yet, but would love to crochet the gloves. A great project for smaller yarn left-overs.
