These three hats came from Headwear for the Family. They will go to charity. Where is #1, you ask? It’s all crocheted but there’s a lot of finishing work left to do to make the clown heads and I hate finishing work, so it got pushed aside while I started crocheting the others.

This hat has got a lot of yarn in it, more than a skein’s worth. It’s very heavy so it was hard to get the styrofoam head to wear it without tipping over. It’s also a strange pattern in that the bottom band is a little too big to wear comfortably while the next band up is a little too small (the pattern has you essentially doubling the width from one band to the next). I’m not sure how far up the band is supposed to be rolled, but it doesn’t really work that well no matter how far you roll it.

This one is very cute. Unfortunately, I didn’t check my gauge before making it (I get a little sloppy with this kind of thing since I’m not trying to fit any particular person) and it’s a little big for a child, yet it was made in Crayola colors. I’ll just have to hope for a child with a freakishly large head or an adult with a sense of whimsy.

This is a bit of a strange design. It buttons shut across the neck. I personally wouldn’t find that so comfortable. It looks a little tight on the head because it’s meant for a small child and I only have an adult head.
