Little boy themed pattern review. 

rngldrrobertsonLeave a comment

So many baby boys in my family back home in Pennsylvania. I had to make more hats for little Liam back home.  I decided to go with my favorite color combo for boys to make him a few hats to grow into. 

 
The owl design is called Oh Boy Oh Boy Owl and is designed by Cre8tion Crochet.  This free pattern can be found HERE. 

   I love how it worked up. The ears bend on their own, the eyes just make his owl face light right up.  I had no issues working this hat up and I love how the instructions included how to carry out the color changes. 

 The Beret hat to the right you have seen before!  

It’s a Posh Pooch design!  Called Strawberry Shortcake Beret. (For Christmas).  This FREE pattern can be found HERE. 

     I knew the same three cute boy colors would be perfect for this hat.  I made it for a toddler so that Liam can wear it once he outgrows his Owl hat.   The review for this hat can be found HERE.

I absolutely love how my cousins in Florida have a baby boy named Kaylen who is the same age as my son Simon.   They look alike but are so very different. I love watching them grow and change into their little personalities.  I knew I had to make Kaylen some hats to reflect his cute little self but also make his daddy proud. He’s a truck driver 😉

Buffi Crochet Beanie design by Moogly. 



This FREE pattern can be found HERE. 

I started out making this just in Red Heart Grande. To my horror I ran out halfway through. I started over with some pink and decided it looked exactly like a cupcake tee hee. This pattern was very easy to read, has great how to instructions for each stitch used as well. A huge plus! I recommend this to any beginner for sure.  It only took me an episode of Dance Moms on LifetimeTv to finish. Thats about 30minutes minus commercials of course. I’m going to make another one today in blue and brown and see if it comes out looking like a yummy muffin!

Mens Cabled Golf Cap design by Moogly.

This FREE pattern can be found HERE

I always teased my dad about making him a pappy hat. The second I sent him the link for Moogly’s design, he HAD to have it! I had a blast making this hat. Watching the cables build as the rows goes was really cool. Like a kaleidoscope of stitches! I do stitch very tightly so I recommend finger blocking the cables to make them pop the way the design intended. It was fairly easy to follow and didn’t take long to make at all. Even sewing the brim was easy because the instructions in the design were listed out perfectly.

So many babies in my life! A lot of friends and family from home are due any day now, or have had beautiful baby blessings. Like hooks on fire I have been whipping up baby hat after baby hat. This one was no exception. Bulkyish yarn (bernat baby) and worked up fast. The little brim makes it so cute and fancy. Perfect for church or a picnic.
