How to make a Zebra Striped Crochet Hat

I wanted to try a new pattern I found so I made this zebra striped hat. 

First I measured the length of my head from my forehead up to the top of my head.  Then I made a chain that long. The hat turn out a little bit to small so add a few chain. 

Crochet in the back loops only. 

A Half Double Crochet (HDC) is done like a double crochet but you pull trough all of it at once instead of dived it up in two steps.

Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook and keep going. End row with chain. Turn.

Row 2: As row 1. 

Row3: Switch color and repeat.

When I was almost done I realized the width had changed, it was smaller. Ops. I most have mist the last chain at the end. Redo. 

When the hat is wide enough decide which side is going to be out. Then you can stitch it or crochet it together. I took one loop of each side and crochet them together.

Then I weaved around the top of the hat and pull tightly. I had to fix a few spots that didn't look so good but the hat end up pretty good. 

Crochet Olaf Hat

So I finally made an Olaf hat. I am not completely satisfied with it but it is cute enough.

A Door Stopper

A Cat Door Stopper.

It could be a hat but it is a door stopper. Fill a bag with sand and put it inside this cat and you have a cute door holder. 

Fyll en påse med sand och stoppa in den in i katten. Sy igen hålet och nu har du en söt dörrstopp.

How to crochet an easy flower

You start with a loop. Then do a chain. How long chain you do depends on how big flower you want. I did 8 stitches. Then do the next stitch around your loop not in the stitch. Then keep doing petals. 8 stitch, one around the loop and 8 new stitch. Do has many petals you like. 

Börja med en cirkel. Virka sedan luftmaskor. Hur många du gör beror på hur stor blomma du vill ha. Jag virkade 8 maskor. Virka sedan nästa maska runt din cirkel inte i maskorna. Fortsätt göra blad. 8 luftmaskor, virka om cirkeln, 8 luftmaskor. Gör så många blad du vill.

Eftersom du gör maskan runt cirkel kan du flytta på bladen och göra rum för flera blad eller sprida ut dem och bara ha några få blad. 

Använd sedan trådarna från blomman för att sy eller knyta fast blomman på din mössa.

Since you do the stitch round and not in the chain stitches you can move the petals and make room for many or you can spread them out on the loop and do few petals it's all up to you.

You can flat the petals out or you can let them point in all directions.

Now you take the two threads that are hanging from your flower and sew it on your hat. If you want to be able to take the flower of easily you just tie it on.

Crochet Yoshi hat

Another green hat. Maybe it is a green Yoshi.

Finish up the Parakeet Hat

Here they are, all done. To change their look; change size on the eyes and beak or put the eyes further apart. 

You can also put on braids to be sure to keep your ears warm.

How to make a parakeet hat.

When you are going to make a parakeet hat you should use two color. 

After you finished crocheting the hat it is time for cutting out all parts in felt. You need;

2 white circles and 2 black circles for the eyes

1 brownish orange triangle for the beak

1 eight-shaped part for the top of the beak and 

2 small ovals for the holes on the beak.

Now lay them out on the hat so you know where you want them. Pin them in right spot and sew them on with a thin tread in matching color. 

Tips, Remember the eyes are going to move apart more when you put on the hat.

Chu Totoro Hat

 

The hat is made for a one year kid so the hat is little stretched out on the doll so the eyes looks like they are a little too far from each other.

 

Mössan är gjord till en ettåring så den är lite utsträckt på dockan. Vilket gör att ögonen ser ut som de är lite långt ifrån varandra.

 

 

Chu Totoro is the medium-size, blue Totoro and is a guardian of the forest. When you first see him, he's carrying a bag of nuts with a hole in the bottom of it that leaves a trail when he walks and runs.

Crochet Parakeet hat

Funny Bird Crochet hat

I am crocheting a bird hat for our bird breeder friend, Evy. It was suppose to be a parakeet hat but it ended up as a funny bird. One more try I guess.

Jag skulle virka en undelatmössa till vår vän Evy som föder upp fåglar men det blev en rolig fågelmössa istället. Får försöka igen.

Small Frog on Log

Another frog on the log. This one is smaller. I think it is pretty cute.

Litoria chloris, also commonly known as the red-eyed tree frog or orange-eyed tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to eastern Australia; ranging from north of Sydney to Proserpine in mid-northern Queensland.

How to make a ladybug hat continues

Next step is to decide how many spots your ladybug should have and how big. I like to add a "head" in the front of the hat.  I cut out my spots and head in felt. Sew on the spots on one side and mirror the spots on the other side.

Nästa steg är att bestämma hur många och hur stora prickarna ska vara. Jag gillar att använda filt till detaljerna. Ifall man virkar detaljerna blir de så tjocka. Jag brukar sätta på ett litet huvud fram på kroppen.

 

I like my ladybug hat to be parted by a black line. Crochet a chain that is long enough to go from one side to another. Fold the hat so you can find the middle of the hat and sew on the chain.



Virka sedan en svart kedja tillräckligt lång för att räcka från ena sidan till den andra. Vik mössan så att du kan hitta mitten och sy på kedjan.

 

  After about 3-4 inch put the hat on a doll to make sure the hat can be stretch out without any problems from the black chain line across the hat. Keep sewing and keep checking.

När du sytt på några centimeter sätt mössan på en docka så att den sträcks ut kontrollera att kedjan inte ställer till med problem.

 

Here is the reason to why you should have a head in front and why you should put it on the last thing you do. To cover up beginning of the antennae.

 

Här är en bra orsak till varför du bör sätta på huvudet sist, för att dölja var antennerna börjar. Se också hur svajig linjen är, det är svårt att få den rak, ha inte bråttom när du syr på den.
