The Jubilee

I made this brimmed hat made for a friend's friend's little girl because she lost the first one I made her and had worn it daily (love that!).
I wish I could find a really good brim pattern, I guess I will have to see if I can come up with one on my own.  The patterns I've tried so far just never turn out quite right. 
I LOVE this flower pattern, it was one of the first I tried and is still one of my favorites:

PANDA HAT -- JOSE WANG

PANDA HAT WITH SOMBRERO



JOSE WANG THE PANDA



My daughter asked me to make her a panda hat, she said that the panda represents all races being black and white and from China and so to make him even more multicultural she decided he should have a sombrero hat; she feels very strongly that all racism must be eradicated and that is what this hat represents to her...unity across the races. 

I found this great panda hat pattern here:

This talented designer has links to many of her own patterns and to other designers free patterns so it's well worth checking out.

The sombrero was improvised but loosly based on a pattern found here:

This designer also has many cute patterns.

 These are a friends grandbabies, I've been waiting 2 months to finally connect and get these hats to them, turns out it was just in the nick of time, they fit PERFECT.  Its so fun to finally see the baby hats on some baby heads!  It's a rare treat for me!!  Mama made the mistake of telling me that Charlie LUVS hats right now...and me with the newest edition of Crochet Today that has the CUTEST animal hat patterns hehe!!

HAT FOR CHOW



My bff's mom requested a red hat with a pink flower the last time I visited so here it is...my phone takes terrible photos, my photos will improve dramatically after my daughter gets her bday camera and becomes my official blogographer.

I found this pattern via Ravelry, it was a free pattern from redheart  http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/brimming-fun-cap. The flower pattern can be found here: http://skamama.blogspot.com/2006/06/picot-flower.html.
