My First Sale

I'm super excited to share that I have decided to start selling my crochet hats! I'm only going to make them to order and I only do them when Little Bub is sleeping, but I'm happy that other people will get to enjoy some of the hats.

Just a few days after I posted on Facebook about selling some hats, one of my mother's friends contacted me about making some hats for a baby shower gift. She wanted TWO owl hats for this newborn baby girl. One in a newborn size and one in the twelve month size so she could enjoy it a bit longer.

For the newborn size, I used a pattern from Daisy Cottage Designs that was free on the website. I changed it a little because I love that sleepy owl look, especially for newborns and I didn't like how much the ears were supposed to stick up. I have to say I just love the soft pink, beige and gray together. I think black would have been too harsh a color for the eyes.

 

I wanted to try a totally new pattern for the bigger size. I had previously downloaded the wooly owl hat pattern from Slugs on the Refrigerator. It's a little bit of a different shape, but it is fairly easy to make. I went with the same color scheme, but this owl has pretty eyelashes and a cute hot pink bow.

 

I do have to say that I did put the bigger hat on Little Bub to make sure it would fit a one-year-old. It did fit, but I wasn't fast enough to snap a picture!

 

If you are interested in either of these hats, or other ones you have seen on my blog, feel free to send me an email about having one made.
