a little bit obsessed with flapper hats

[Queen Moirae]

It all started this weekend when my boyfriend went paintballing with some coworkers. I went with him and after making one hat - I'm an addict! I've always loved flapper hats and crocheted hats, but after (finally) designing some of my own flower patterns I'm completely obsessed with making them!

 

Here are some examples of the hats I've made so far this week:

 

purple flapper hat with pink roses - as you can see this hat, which I made from a vintage pattern resulted in a very visible seam even though it was worked in the round - so annoying!

 

 

I was really happy with the way the roses turned out so here's a close up of them:

 

 

a flapper hat with a huge red carnation:

 

 

and one made from yarncat's patterns (which I adore by the way) with a yellow crysanthemem:

 

 

These are so fun to make (and fast too) it only takes me about two hours to make the flower, the hat, and to piece them together! They're even more fun to wear!

 

I hope you ladies like them

All three look wonderful! Great job! The flowers are a nice touch too.

I love them! If I HAVE to crochet something and don't need to make something specific I always pick this type of pattern. They are a lot of fun and my DD loves to wear them.

[Queen Moirae]

Thanks - I love to wear them too!

Thank you, Thank you! I'm so addicted I'm working on a hydrangea hat right now - or rather, I'm working on designing the flower

Are you joining with slip stitch at the end of each round? I no longer do that. I just keep track of which row I am on with a stitch marker and just go round and round. Then, when i get to the part where you no longer increase, I leave the marker at the last increase row. That way I can easily count how many rows I have completed.

these are great. Love the flowers esp the rose.

[Queen Moirae]

Thank you so much everyone! You guys are always so sweet!

 

Thanks also to JCB! That was exactly what I was doing and I switched to the method you are suggesting for the second hat (white with red carnation) and the seam dissapeared- but the hat was no longer big enough to fit over my head - so I had to rip it out and try again. Drat patterns! Still tweaking this one a bit!

Thanks so much for sharing your addiction to flapper hats! I'm sure I've already caught the bug . . . this is definitely at the top of my "to do" list now! These hats are just cute as a button! I gotta try it too . . .
