Deeply Textured Hat

Here's another potential guy hat. This time I used the Deeply Textured Hat pattern by Amy Depew over at The Laughing Willow. I initially made a purple and white version of this for my mom and she absolutely loved it. So I figured the Safe Harbor folks will too! This one is dark brown (darker than the picture shows) and black. The only changes I made to the original pattern were to start with a magic loop, crochet it in the round, and using an I hook instead of a J hook. I used Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn brand. I love this pattern! It's quick and - most importantly - interesting!

Easiest Headwrap Ever

Headbands are great uses for those half-finished skeins of yarn lying around. I made this one with some stash Red Heart yarn, an H hook, and the Easiest Headwrap Ever pattern from Ravelry. The only adjustment I made was to freehand the edges closed instead of using a button. Honestly, the pattern was pretty mediocre. I probably won't use it again. Also, the picture below doesn't show the color well - the yarn is more of a light moss green.
