Newbie HAT Crochet-a-Longs (CAL)

[Cranky Crocheter]

I have seen all the beautiful projects on the CAL board and I was hoping to start one for us newbies (if that is ok:think )

 

I see that there has been an influx of hat questions so maybe we can do a simple hat using SC or DC, we can def get crocheting in the round down to a science or a fancy scarf using a new stitch or pattern. I want to be able to do a project that can actually be completed without FRUSTRATION:angry and add some new techniques in our pockets at the same time:yarn

 

If you are interested please reply to this post or send a PM with your vote for an easy hat or scarf. I will choose the majority to be fair.

 

I WILL POST THE PATTERN TOMORROW NIGHT

 

Thanks!!!!

either one sounds great to me! I have very limited skills especially with pattern reading, but I can't wait to make something useful!

Not a newbie (been crocheting for years), but I have never crocheted a hat...true story! So I would join up.

i have been crocheting for 4 years but sometimes the easy and fast patterns are good to do to !

I have never made a crochet hat, I have always done knitted hats.

Yeah.. I am soooo excited!! I am going to wait for a few more responses and...away we go!!

[grammacrocheting]

Count me in. This will be my first CAL also. Can't wait to get going. Would love to do the scarf pattern.

[Chell_74]

Count me in .. although I am extremely sloooooooow. Took me over a week to make my first scarf.

[bobwilson123]

sooooooooooooo what are we doing???? i have my hook and yarn ready and waiting

[stargazingirly]

I'm ready and waiting too!!

[KristinJG]

I've never done a hat either, so I'd vote for a hat, and definitely join in.

[Cranky Crocheter]

Hey!! Sorry for the delay... holidays and all:yes Plus I have taken on a granny square project and a homespun scrapgan project too...

 

OK.... lets do this!!! The majority rules people and the majority wants a hat so thats what the majority is gonna get!!

 

I really don't know how to start a CAL but below is a pattern and I guess we all do it and post pics and ask questions?!?!?

 

Yarn I guess is an option?!?

How about this one?

[KristinJG]

The Lion-Brand one looks good to me.

How about everyone else?

[CDBear]

I just realized I posted my suggestion a little late.......please forgive me.

 

It looks like a fairly easy pattern.......

[Cranky Crocheter]

I only posted the first pattern to use some SC and DC but lets to the lionbrand one... Lets keep out first hat SIMPLE!!! Hats are hard enough, for me anyway!

[KristinJG]

The lion brand one does look easy. Maybe we should wait and see what others say, and go from there?

[Cranky Crocheter]

Sounds good!

[CDBear]

Count me in!! Thanks y'all!!

[KristinJG]

Sounds good!

 

 

Maybe you should change the title of the thread to indicate that it is a newbie hat CAL, as opposed to scarves or something? Just a suggestion.

[stargazingirly]

I think the lion brand one will be a good challenge for me, I like it because i know what everyting in the pattern means!

I'm so excited! My first CAL! I'll have to go right out tonight and get the yarn. After looking at the colors on the pattern page, I think I'll do Spice.

Anyone else have an idea of color?

[CDBear]

I think I'll see how it looks in Homespun.......I've got some really great colors left over from other projects.....

 

I can't wait to get off work!!!
