The Scarf Is Dead; Long Live the Hat

| 0 comments

The scarf from hell has been officially frogged and up-cycled into a crochet hat. After struggling with my knitting and working on a few fairly large or at least fairly involved crochet projects for awhile, I felt like I needed something easy to give me a little immediate yarn gratification. I saw this cool pattern for a slouch hat, called Autumn Slouch, and decided to frog the scarf and use the yarn for the hat.

The hat was not turning out too “slouchy,” so I turned it into a beanie style hat instead, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I put this in my charity bag for a later donation. It calls for a size H hook and worsted weight yarn.  I will probably attempt this pattern again but use a larger size hook or slightly thinner yarn so I get the slouchy affect that I prefer.

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
