Baseball Cap: Part Der!!

Okay...I got the correct size but it didn't make a whole lot of difference. The hat is still quite big...or maybe I just have a small head...hmm.

Anyways, here are some pictures...Enjoy!!

Hmm...I need to find someone with a big head to wear this.

Oh well, the more I practice the better I get.

Baseball Cap

Ok...here is a major reason why to use the correct hook size...

Baseball Cap Big

Your hat turns into a bowl. I'm going to get the correct hook size and start over.

Lizzie Hat/Flowers for Lizzie

Last weekend I finished my first project (second to start, first to finish). I was pretty tired when I completed it but I'm still pretty proud of it. Check out the pictures:

Lizzie Hat Front

This is the front of the hat...The yarn I used is Lion Brand Homespun yarn...I'm not sure on the color though...its scrap yarn I've had for a year or so.

Lizzie Hat Top

Here's the top...not too exciting

Lizzie Hat detail

Here's some detail...not a very good picture. I'll get another one on here.

Lizzie Hat Back

Here's the back...I was really tired and kind of frusterated when I was doing this part...just wanted to be done with it.

I got the pattern from Dot/By the Hook. I like her patterns, I will probably make more by her. Here's the link to her site: http://bythehook.blogdrive.com/archive/87.html

Let me know what you think!! I plan to make a new one...black for the top and bottom and orange for the petals.

Go South High Tigers!!
