Crocheted Jester Hat

I've been working on a new hat. This one will have 3 tubes to put my hair through. It will be an avante guarde jester hat. I think it will go great with my juggling show. So far the colors are dark and light purple, gray, and sapphire blue.  I added some ribbon yarn to it tonight to give it a bit more pizazz.

Today I bought 12' of black plastic chain. I had the clerk cut it in half. I'm going to hang a 6' length from 2 corners of my new craft canopy, and using utility clips, hang my knitting and crocheted hats and plushies from it. It eliminates the need to have them on tables, because there is only so much table space you can fit inside a booth. My hats have never sold well, and I think it's because I haven't had a good way to display them, so maybe this will do the trick.

Crochet Hat With Tubes For Braids



I can't remember when I started this hat, but when I found it on my dresser it was about 90% done.  So I finished it up and listed it on Etsy and Yardsellr.

Crocheted Top Hat Project


Last night I started crocheting a freeform hat, not yet sure what shape of hat I was aiming at. I started with a 2 color spiral in bright pink and olive green. Then I went to bed and let my brain work on it. When I got up this morning I made the spiral bigger and realized it would be the perfect flat top for a top hat. I can use the sides to show off the freeform medallions, and then make a brim. How fun!

Purple and Black Slouch Cap

I'm whipping up a cute little purple variegated slouch hat right now. The border (band) will be black. I'm crocheting it during TV commercials. I wish I'd had it yesterday when I was sitting in the bleachers freezing my buns off at an SCA event. Just that morning I had taken my hat out of my purse thinking I wouldn't need it on a nice sunny day. But then a breeze came up and the grass was wet from yesterday's rain and brrrr it got chilly.

Back and Forth Hat


I'm crocheting a slouch hat with bright rainbow yarn surrounded by black. It's not a spiral hat but rather one row is done in half double crochet, then the work is turned, and you go back the way you came. That's why I'm calling it a back and forth hat. It reminds me of stained glass and tie dye.

Peggy's Hat



Here is a cool little hat I crocheted for my neighbor Peggy. It has a little ribbon drawstring in case she needs to adjust the size. Remember if you see a hat I've made that you like, I can always make a similar one for you and list it in my etsy shop at http://www.pigglewiggins.etsy.com/.

Hat For a Friend


Last night and today I've been crocheting a hat for my friend Peggy. She lives across from me with a teenage son and two big dogs. Everyone is trying to save on heating costs so a hat really can help you keep the heater turned down more than up. I hope she likes it. I don't know her taste all that well. But I know I wear a hat indoors in my own home whenever I get too cold.

Trio of Hats







Last night I finished 3 hats. Here are photos of the camo hat. I haven't taken photos of the other two as it was dark last night (doh). But I'll go do it today when I have time. The rain has stopped and the lighting is decent.

Two of the hats are knitted. The other one is crocheted (the gray one). I love the rolled brim of the camo hat and started another one straight away. I'm trying to get as many hats as I can finished for a craft event in 2 weeks, but I don't want to injure my hands in the process. So when they start hurting I lay everything aside for a few hours.

Chemo Caps Always Free


If you need one for you or a loved one, email me at Pigglewiggins (at) gmail.com. and let me know your favorite color. Also, do you prefer solids or stripes or anything goes. Make sure you tell me if it's for a child, teen, or adult so I get the size right. And I'll need a complete address to send it to.

And if any of you are in the Anaheim area I also accept donations of yarn and knitting and crocheting supplies, as long as they are from a smoke free environment. That way I can keep the caps coming, and you can get your closet cleaned out of all the yarn Aunt Martha left you. And if you could never figure out that new fangled knitting loom, I'll be happy to have those available too. That way I can put the local teens to work making hats as well.

My mother passed away from lung cancer so this is the least I can do in her memory.

Crocheting More Tams

My friend and fellow archer liked the hat I crocheted him so much that he wants some more. I'll probably make 5 and that way he'll have a selection to choose from. The rest will go in my Etsy shop. People keep telling me to make colors that men will wear, so that's what I'm doing. Grays, browns, tans, forest greens, dark blues. I hear you and I shall comply.
