I had an obsession with making hats this winter, thanks to a gorgeous pattern I discovered at the awesome Cre8tion Crochet site. The link below will take you to the pattern:
http://cre8tioncrochet.com/2014/12/crochet-slouch-hat-ombre/
It’s called the Grayscale Ombre Slouch, and I so loved working on the pattern, I decided to make it in a variety of different colours. The colour combinations you can use are endless, and the hat is easy enough to whip up in an evening.
The pattern at Cre8tion Crochet offers instructions for toddler, child and adult. The ones I made are all adult sized.
I also made an infinity scarf to match one of my hats (pictured), and the pattern is below if you’d like to make one.
Blush Pink Infinity Scarf
Materials:
Ball of worsted weight yarn
5.5 mm hook
Shell stitch: (dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc) in same stitch
Pattern:
Ch 44.
Row 1: Dc in 3rd ch from hook; *ch 4, skip 4 chs, dc in next ch; repeat from * across.
Row 2: Ch 2; (dc, ch 1, dc) in same st; shell stitch in each dc across; (dc, ch 1, dc) in last dc.
Row 3: Ch 2; dc in same st; *ch 4; dc in next center dc of next shell; repeat from * to last dc; dc in last dc.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until desired length.
Bring two ends together and seam closed on wrong side to make infinity. Edge either side of scarf with two rows of sc, for a finished look.

An older relative of mine who is now long gone used to knit hats all the time and give them away. I never wore them, but I have them safely tucked away in an old trunk beneath the bed. Seeing them reminds me of her, and now I would never discard the hats–or wear them!

A little piece of our spirit is in everything we make. It’s nice of you to keep them. If you were handy with a needle and thread, you could probably refashion them into little sweaters for the cats! Wouldn’t they love that?! hahaha!
