Free Pattern: A beret cap with brim
I’m always in search of the perfect hat. I’m really digging the beanies with a brim. I tried making myself one, but it turned out so-so, and I lost it at Fred Meyers:( I’m not a big fan of the puffy-ness of this beret cap with brim, but i do like the brim. You make it seperatly, so it’d be easy to add it to a regular old beanie.

Crocheting for men (or boys) is much harder than for women because of their innate fear of crossing the invisible gender boundaries. While a woman would never give a second thought to wearing a cabled fisherman’s scarf, a man would cringe at the mere thought of a fringed scarf. But there is one thing all men have no problem wearing:
Beanies. Beanies, beanies, beanies. Or ’scullys’ or whatever your region calls them. So I’m ecstatic to find this easy, quick, no frills, and dare I say, ‘manly’ hat.
Update: I fixed the link. The pattern can be found in the internet archive, here.

I’m always in search of ‘The Perfect Hat’ because I live in a place that tortures me with 17 degree weather. I walk to class everyday, so staying warm is a constant battle. It’s also quite windy so I need something that covers my ears but not my eyes. This hat with ear flaps (otherwise known as a helmet) looks perfect! I need to find the perfect yarn, and it’ll be my next project.

I’ve always been a sucker for miniatures. Although Christmas ornament season is over, these would still be cute as a key chain, or finger puppet accessory!

This cloche uses homespun, which is a pain to use, but has beautiful results.

I saw this ruffle scarf pattern online and fell in love with it. A few days later I saw it at some snooty, expensive clothing store, and knew exactly who I’d give it to. 
I used Joann’s Angel hair, and it was a dream to work with. The scarf turned out so incredibly soft! It is a thick yarn, so I used a larger hook and didn’t crochet the last row. The recipient is a very bold woman, and I think she really wears this scarf well.
Here is what the scarf look like on:
It’s pretty thick so I made it short. It’s more decorative than functional I think, which is fine because the recipient works in Seattle.
