Children's Cotton Crocheted Sunhats

I am very happy that I have finally perfected my own crochet sun hat pattern for children, including working out the various sizes. This was quite an accomplishment for someone who only taught herself to crochet in recent years, but I am very pleased with myself and proud of the results. This pattern has been tried and tested including being washed. Some of my early attempts looked good, but lost shape when washed, so I had to keep working on it, to fix that problem before I could even consider putting them up for sale. I am very happy, and relieved to have designed a pattern that looks good when made AND also looks good after being washed and dried! Yeah! I am also getting very favourable comments from people who see them (and this is from people other than my friends and family!)

All my sunhats are made from natural fibres- mainly cotton with an occasional blend of bamboo/cotton. As the hats are crocheted using natural fibres, they breathe well, and will stretch and shape to fit a child's head comfortably. I have made hats in various colours/patterns, which people can buy (ordering the size they want), but I am also willing to take custom orders for specific colours if anyone would like something different from what I already have on offer.

I have a variety currently available in my Made It store and I will also be adding new designs/colours regularly.
This are some of the designs I currently have on offer:













I am currently working on a new batch of hats, which are made from Anchor Magicline Cotton. They are fabulous "patterned" threads in designs such as Splash, Stripes and Dotty. I should be ready to list them by next week.

I have decided to focus on making items for children, atleast at the moment, so in line with that decision I have converted all my handmade fabric buttons into hair ties/ponytail holders. I will be photographing them on the weekend, and relisting them next week too.

Until next time...
