Sunny days, Sun hats, Summer Crochet
WEATHER MAYHEM
Here in south-east England, well may you ask "where is the sun?" the weather is cold, windy and grey, with the odd snow flurry. Yes, it is April and supposedly SPRING, however, there is no sign of it, those blasted north-easterlies are blowing and the jet stream just ain't getting here. boo hoo!
Never mind, I am ignoring what is happening outside and following my inner sunshine and here is the result, a new spring/summer hat, with a lovely little pattern, and a choice of brim lengths. Perfect for your little cutie pie to wear on sunny days.
PATTERN DETAILS:
YARN: Bendigo Woollen Mills Cotton 4ply OR Heirloom Cotton 4ply OR any other similar cotton yarn
HOOK: 3.5mm (E-4)
SIZES: A - will fit 38-45cm (15-17.5in); B - will fit 43-49cm (17-19.5in).
TERMINOLOGY: USA and UK crochet terms
I just love crocheting with 4ply for infants and toddlers, it creates a delicate fabric, which I think is just perfect for tiny tots. And you just can't beat Bendigo yarns their cotton is so soft. I love it. They also do an 8ply cotton. Of course you could make these hats with the 8ply, you would just get a larger sized hat, or you could make adjustments and get the right size for your preferred head ircumference.
Have a go and play a little.

Enjoy every moment,
focus on every stitch,
create a masterpiece....

SPRING Sun Hats!
Sunny Days
After a long grey winter the sun is here - and also the need for protection from harmful UV rays!
Funny really, we long for the sun and then when it is here we need protection! And the best solution is to wear a hat - and for total comfort and breathability make it cotton!
Of course, we also have sun protection lotions, sunglasses, umbrellas, and the rest - but what about your little bundle of joy sitting in the stroller or sitting in that sling (baby carrier)?
A lovely cotton sun hat is the best answer, and for many years I have had requests from mums wanting cotton sun hats for their babies from as young as three (3) months, because even though they are not sitting yet, they are being carried by mum or dad in a sling/carrier on chest or back. So obviously sun protection in the form of a soft cotton hat is the perfect solution!
