First Up...

I know that Halloween is only a few days away but I decided to make these cute hats.  I fell in love with these monster hats!  They are quirky and unique which makes them so much fun.  

I got this pattern from a wonderful website called Repeat Crafter Me.  You can find the post for these hats here.  The hat pattern used is from a site called Alli Crafts and the spikes and eyes are from a pattern at The Boy Trifecta.  I did alter the eyes and spikes but I have never written a pattern before and I am not sure if I can figure it out.  Hopefully I will be able to soon and then I can share them here,  I do know that for the eyes I just made a magic ring using sc or dc, depending on how big I wanted the eye.  Both of the eyes on these hats have buttons for the pupils.  I especially love the eye on the pink and cream hat.  I used a cute large button as the center and it turned out so cute!

I also made this darling dinosaur hat.  The hat pattern is the same as the one I used for the monster hat  and then I added spikes across the top and back of the hat and spots on the sides.  The spikes just start with a magic ring and increase steadily down until the seem tall enough.   The spots I did just like the eyes for the monster hats; magic rings made with sc or dc, depending on how large they need to be. I think it turned out really cute but I just wish I had little ones that I could put these hats on and take pictures.  I may have to round up some little ones to model for me.
 Be sure to check out the sites I listed above.  They have really cute free patterns to help you be crafty too.  I hope you enjoy these hats and the other crafts that will be coming as soon as I can get them finished.  If you are interested in buying any of my crafts feel free to contact me at craftablesbyali@gmail.com.  I am hoping that I will be able to get Paypal set up so my crafts are easier to purchase for those of you not in my area.  I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for  stopping by!
