Rufty Tufty Boys Beanie Hat Tutorial By Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog

If you love to knit and are looking for a beanie to make for a little boy then you'll be pleased to know that Ros Coffey has a tutorial on her RosMadeMe Blog blog showing you how to make a "Rufty Tufty Boys Beanie Hat." Have fun knitting.

Rufty Tufty Boys Beanie Hat

Copyright © 2011 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Ros Coffey of RosMadeMe Blog.

Here's what Ros had to say about her tutorial: I have found lots of hats for little girls but hats for little boys are few and far between, so using the classic beanie design which uses multiples of eight stitches and knits in the round, I came up with a little number in cotton, which is both soft, structured and textured. They are such a quick knit I have made four for my first Spring Craft Show on Saturday, fingers crossed that they sell well!

Ros's Bio:I live by the sea, in Essex, in Leigh-on-sea. I have been making things since I was a child, earliest memories were embroidering squares of binca matting, making felt egg cups and ripping back my knitting when my sister had picked up a dropped stitch... yep, it really did have to be all my own work! I am a dreadful hoarder, with stashes of wool and fabric hidden around my house, together with the projects that I have not yet finished. I am currently making cushions, quilted, appliqued, stencilled... actually just anything that I will enjoy crafting.

Flower Loom Tutorial By Andrea Millington of Indigo-Blue

Do you remember flower looms from the 1970's? I do. If you love to knit or crochet then you'll be happy to know that Andrea Millington of Indigo Blue Designs has a wonderful tutorial on her Indigo Blue blog showing you how to make a flower using a flower loom.

Plus, she has a second blog post about the vintage flower loom kit that her mother gave her that I think you will also enjoy. Please CLICK HERE to read her Vintage "Flower Power" Looms post.

Flower Loom Tutorial

Here's what Andrea had to say about her tutorial: ....I have been showing my students how to use a flower loom. The loom featured in this tutorial is actually part of a kit that I found in a toy shop! You can buy them online. I have seen them advertised as Vintage and the idea does come from the 1970's and I shall come back to this point tomorrow. Many that I have seen advertised as vintage, along with a vintage price, is not always accurate and are in fact brand new. So do be careful and do a little price comparing first.

Please do not use my tutorials to mass-produce items for sale. If you post your work online, please credit me (Andrea Millington) with the design and link to my Indigo Blue blog. :-)

Needlepoint Witch Hat Pattern and Tutorial By June Crawford of A Creative Dream

I just LOVE needlepoint and LOVE Halloween so I was thrilled to see that June Crawford had a wonderful tutorial on her A Creative Dream blog showing you how to make a needlepoint witches hat. I just LOVE it and definitely have it on my "to do" list. Is it on yours, too?

Here's what June had to say about her tutorial: Long, long ago in a far away land.... I designed needlepoint. Was actually pretty good at it too...but it's difficult to keep a business up and running when you are the one who does it all, so I stopped designing needlepoint, and went to work in an office...

While rummaging through several CDs, looking for something completely different, I ran across one of the online projects I had offered. It is darned cute I have to admit....and since it's Halloween, I thought..."hey, why not put it up on the blog?", so, here it is!

Four Free Hat Patterns For Blythe From Lisa Bunting Thoms of Q.D. Patooties

I thought you might all like to know that Lisa Bunting Thoms of Q.D. Patooties has four wonderful free patterns to share for making 3 crocheted and 1 sewn hat for BLYTHE. I hope you enjoy making all of Blythe's hats.

Cloche Hat (Crochet)
Copyright © 2008-2009 - All Rights Reserved - Lisa Bunting Thoms of Q.D. Patooties

Here's the instructions and what Lisa had to say about her clothe hat: This is a very easy beginners FREE crochet pattern that whips up in just over an hour. Since I have been bitten by the "Blythe Bug" as I mentioned yesterday, it was only a matter of time before I started creating things for her and this just happens to be the first of probably many patterns.

Materials:

Patons "Classic Wool" Merino, 100% Wool, 3 1/2 oz. (100g) in Blue Marl (variegated white/blue)

Size D/3 (3.25mm) Crochet Hook

Directions:

To Begin, Ch10 and join the first and last stitches to form a loop.

Rd. 1: Ch 3 and then 15 DC inside the loop.

Rd. 2: Ch 3 and then 1 DC inside the first DC followed by a SC all the way around. So you should have a stitch followed by a hole.

Rd. 3: Ch 3 and then in the new hole that you’ve made do 2 DC followed by 1 SC then 2 DC in the next followed by 2 SC. It will start to look almost like a lace doily.

Rd. 4: Ch 3 and then in the first that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 1 SC then 3 DC in the next followed by 2 SC .

Rd. 5 - 6: Ch3 and then in the first stitch that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 2 SC all the way around. You’re gradually “increasing” the size of your doll’s hat.

Rd. 7 - 10: Rd. 4: Ch 3 and then in the first stitch that you’ve made do 3 DC followed by 1 SC then 3 DC in the next followed by 2 SC.

Rd. 11: For the shell trim, SC in the first stitch, HDC in the second stitch, 1 DC, 1 TDC, 1 DC in the third stitch, HDC in the fourth stitch and a SC in the fifth stitch. Repeat all the way around the rim of the hat.

Since this hat is "lacy" and has some holes, you can weave some coordinating ribbon through the openings and tie it in a bow to add a little decorative touch. Enjoy!

Kisses from Elvish Beret (Crochet)
Copyright © 2008-2009 - All Rights Reserved - Lisa Bunting Thoms of Q.D. Patooties

Here's the instructions and what Lisa had to say about her kisses from elvish beret: Here's a little beret I just finished for my Blythes. It kind of looks like a little Hershey's Kiss Elf hat so of course the name "Kisses from Elvish" seemed appropriate.

Kisses from Elvish Beret

Materials Needed:

3.75mm (Size F) Crochet Hook
Joann’s Fabrics Sensations Angel Hair Yarn Color 4361 or similar

To start: Ch4. Join first link to last to form a ring.

Round 1: 8 DC in ring. Join first to last and then Ch3.
Round 2: DC in each stitch. Join first to last and then Ch3.
Round 3: DC in first DC then Ch1; repeat until round is complete. Join first to last and then Ch3.

Round 9: DC in first 4 stitches, Skip 1. Repeat until the round is complete. Join first to last and then Ch2.

Your stylish “Kisses from Elvish Beret” is now ready to wear!

Medium Weight Yarn (4)

Row 8. 1 DC in the "front" of the first three stitches followed by 1 DC in the back of the next three stitches. Repeat pattern until row is complete. Pattern will resemble fake "ribbing." Tie off. Enjoy!

Spidey Hat (Sewing)

Copyright © 2008-2009 - All Rights Reserved - Lisa Bunting Thoms of Q.D. Patooties

Here's the instructions and what Lisa had to say about her Spidey Hat: For this project, you'll need a pair of one size fits all knit gloves and a single mitten from a one size fits all set of knit mittens. The gloves will serve as the "body" of your spider and then the mitten will be the lining of your hat. I found my gloves and mitten sets at Target. They are $1.49 and you get two pairs so you'll be able to make two complete hats for your Blythe dolls for less than $5.00. Other supplies you'll need include a some sharp scissors, some clear drying tacky or fabric glue, two 1-inch Pom-Poms for eyeballs, two 1/2-inch Pom-Poms for pupils, a small amount of Polyfil stuffing, a needle, some thread, embroidery floss, and a stuffing stick. If you'd like to use your sewing machine, you can use that too. This project is small enough though that it can be completed quickly in under an hour without a sewing machine. So, it's up to you.

1) Cut the cuffs off of your gloves as well as the thumb (sorry I didn't show that step) and then cut the top off of your mitten (almost down to the thumb joint on the mitten). As I mentioned, the gloves will be the body of your spider and the mitten top will be the liner of your hat.

2) With right sides together, sew your gloves up the center seam to form your spider body.

3) Then, turn your spider body inside out and insert your mitten top as shown in the photo above. Sew all the way around leaving about an 1 1/2 opening so you can turn your hat.

4) When you turn your hat, it should look like the photo above. It almost looks like an octopus instead of a spider! But that might be another tutorial (heh, heh, heh). Using your stuffing stick, go through the small hole you left to turn your spider and fill his "legs" with a small amount of Polyfil. You don't want to stuff them too much or they won't stand up right. Also, the white stuffing will show through your knit fabric. Then, ladder stitch your hole shut.

5) Using some embroidery floss, make a silly grin on your spider's face. Glue together the eyes and let them dry so you can glue them on top of your hat.

6) One you glue the eyes on top of your hat and they dry, it will be ready to wear. Enjoy!

Knitting Triumph!!....- Knitted Cloche Hat.

Here's what Andrea had to say about her pattern: ....well it is for me! Our little knitting group at school have always said that they would like to make a knitted hat. Eventually we managed to narrow it done to a sort of cloche shape that may or may not have a flower or some kind of embellishment on it. So, my colleague and I set to work looking for one and of course we would need to test it out first.
