For some reason, I find that I crochet better free-hand than I do patterns. Perhaps it is because I make errors while reading patterns or I don't count correctly. In any case, I am awfully proud of this hat that I crocheted free-hand for a friend of mine.

 

I used 90% of a 7 ounce skein of Red Heart Country Blue acryllic yarn.

 

The stitches I used were single crochet and double crochet.

 

The red heart applique I found lying on a shelf at a craft store I visit often, and purchased it when I was told it was only 25 cents.

 

I hot-glued it to the hat.

 

What do you think?

Very nice! Red heart looks great on the hat!

 

I know! I love the color contrast between the two.

 

My friend loved it.

 

I'm going to set to work making more.

I used 90% of a 32 ounce skein of Red Heart Country Blue acryllic yarn.

 

Where do you get 32 ounce skeins? Is there really almost 2 lbs of yarn in that hat? At any rate, it's a very pretty hat. :yes Good job! :hook

Oh my gosh! I just realized that I wrote 32 ounces. It's 7 ounces. Sorry about that. My cat tends to walk across the keyboard when I am typing. I could have sworn I had fixed it back to 7 after my kitty pounced on the keys.
