Both are really cute. Be honest now. You really did both, start to finish, in one evening? You must be a crochet demon. I'm so jealous. I'm a very pokey crocheter.

Great job!

[Dalia]

I love the one with the cherry, it reminds me of Mary Engelbreit's designs

[Crochet Buffet]

Wow!!! What a cute hat! I'm diggin the cherry bomb!

 

I always get flustered thinking of making hats with black yarn, but seeing yours is truly inspiring!!!

 

Thanks so much for sharing.

I love the busy bee hat, and the cherries are fantastic. Putting an applique on a hat is a great idea!

[Ghost]

Both are cute, but I especially love the cherries!

[bythehook]

Cute, cute!

[Tiffany]

Very cute hats!

[Frangipani]

Thanks everyone for the comments. Yes, I actually did make both in one night, which may provide some insight into my social life these days!

 

I'm getting really creative with my stash-busting here.

Too cute! You can really whip out those hats!

[Julie]

Oh cute!!

[creativegoodness]

You need to put on that 2nd hat......because you have been a busy little crochetin' bee!!! Such awesome works! You do such great work, you're on a roll!!!!!!!

[YaYa Yarnhood]

Those are both way too cute!!!!!!!

[CraftyChristine]

Ooooh! I love your cherry bomb hat, very cute!

[Raquel]

Becs, I think you need to change your user name to "Busy Bee." I can't believe how much you crochet! Impressive. Now you just need a baby-sized mannequin head for all those baby hats! The cherries are awesome. Where did you find such a nice patch? All the ones I've seen are pretty small and kinda cheap-looking...

 

Love you!

I LOVE the Cherry Bomb....great job!!

[Jewels]

I love love LOVE the cherry bomb hat - my friend has cherries EVERYTHING - and I'll have to find that applique and make one for her. It's a nice hat pattern too.

Raquel and Jewels,

 

I found the cherry applique at a craft shop here in Sydney for $2. A steal, so I snagged it cause I love cherries too!

Next time I go there I want to get a little bee one for the Busy Bee hat. SO cute!!!!

The iron-ons are good but be careful to only apply heat with the tip of your iron onto the patch. If you press the iron flat and it warms the yarn around the patch, it leaves it very FLAT and gives it a shiny look, messing up the appearance of the pattern. NOT nice!!!
