Headband with rosette flower - crocheted

So, as mentioned in my profile, I live in Ontario, Canada. Though, I'm in southern Ontario, our winters are still COLD!! And, being pregnant, I seem to be cold no matter if I'm inside or out! This has given me the motivation to crochet my own headband. I came across a tutorial for a crocheted rosette flower which I also added to my headband to give it a little pizzaz! I would love to share with you a tutorial for the headband, but because I made it up as I went along I don't have one! Maybe one day I'll sit down and recreate the pattern and write it down as I go! For now however, you'll have to settle for a  link to the rosette tutorial instead. What I can tell you about the headband is that it's pretty easy to do. Measure your head and figure out your desired width. I used double crochet throughout, except for the outer edge which I single crochet around the entire piece. That's it!  

Cutie Cow Hat

Here's another animal hat I made without a specific pattern. Of course, it took some trial and error on some of the cow features. For example the ears! I must have tried them 10 times until I got it the way I wanted, but hey! I didn't have to pay for the pattern! =) I think it turned out pretty cute. I just wish I had a baby in the house to model it for me!

Toddler Headband - Crocheted

This headband, I made the other night, is simply adorable on my little girl (if I do say so myself - lol). I'm working on a few more in different colours and flower embellishments. One for every outfit! =)

Penguin Crochet Beanie

I created this penguin hat using a basic beanie pattern and adding on the necessary embellishments to make it ... penguin-esque =)
This particular beanie fits a baby 0-3 months old but of course can be altered to fit heads of all ages.

Wonderful world of crochet!

For the past year and a half I have been dabbling in the world of crochet. I started off self taught, learning different techniques from youtube videos and webpage articles. I must say, I've tried almost every art medium out there and crocheting is one that I find very satisfying. It's a great feeling when you've finished a project, knowing that it's not only pretty but functional!

I'm including in this post a link to a crochet site that teaches basic crochet skills. For anyone who hasn't tried it yet, try it!! It's a great creative AND stress outlet!!
