Try these, they are on sale and they incorporate the crochet pattern over the fold-over waistband, and the color is neutral so it goes with anything.

Help finding an animal hat crochet pattern?

I absolutely love those hats with little kitty ears and faces, but I can't find a free pattern anywhere. Any Help?

Also, I'm looking for a platypus pattern as well. That seems very elusive to me.

Thanks in advance.

What would be a good name for a little business (single person) selling crochet hats?

I make crochet hats, both ear flap and beanie hats, and am selling them in a shop this upcoming winter. I need some brainstorming ideas for a name for my little business. something catching and fresh, I’m a college student. Any ideas?

Instead of trying to think of a trendy name for *your shop*, then trying to get your shop “known”, why not make *you, the designer* known instead?
My question to you would be do YOU have a catchy name? I ask because these are original creations you are turning out. You can have small labels made relatively inexpensively to sew inside your items, thus labeling YOU the item’s “official designer”. Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, etc. need only their NAME on their shops and stores. You could consider doing the same, or perhaps using your initials and your last name.
Like you, I design/make a wide variety of hats, everything from elegant to hippy-chic to hip-hop, as well as funky sweaters, jewelry, etc. I opted to just go with my first two initials and my last name for my business as well as on my designs. It has worked out well.
I don’t know your name so for an example let’s just make one up.. say it was something like Amanda Miller. Your Shop could be “Amanda Miller Originals” or “Amanda Miller Creations”, or “A. Miller Designs “…etc. You get the idea.
That way, when someone asks one of your customers, “Where did you get that hat?” they can say “Oh, it’s an Amanda Miller, she’s a local designer.”
One thing I have learned is people LOVE to own an “original” designer’s piece, even from local designers. Get your name known and you can start to charge more for your original work. It has worked well for me.

Just a humble suggestion. Good luck to you!

Fashion Come Back for Crochet Beanie

A trend that appears to be on the move in the fashion world is the come back of the crochet beanie hat. These hats are very versatile and can be worn casually when taking care of errands around town or even on more dressy occasions.

Many can be seen on the head of joggers in the parks. A few high-profile personalities have been sighted wearing a crochet beanie hat in recent months. Particularly Daivd Tennant of the Sci-Fi series Doctor Who. Other high profile names include soccer champ, David Beckham, and the beautiful Rachel Bilson and Sienna Miller. Click here to see crochet beanie photo sighting links.

British and Italian designers are preparing to feature the crochet beanie more prominently in this coming fall/winter fashion season. A high quality crochet beanie can be a bit pricey, but there are plenty of reasonably price choices for the economy shopper.

Do Not Think Crocheting is Only for Women

I came across an interesting article of a man who loves to crochet. He could be your grandfather (or great-grandfather for that matter). Because he is 93-years old.

To see a man crocheting is not typical to say the least. But Amos Whittker has been crocheting for 30 years and enjoys it very much.

He learned to crochet after he retired from his day job when he was 63 years old. His daughter taught him. It turns out, he is skilled at crocheting.

Some Benefits of Crocheting

“Crocheting is relaxing,” explained Mr. Whitaker. “You get into a rhythm of stitching and you just let it go. I don’t know why more men don’t do it.”

Three years ago, Mr. Whitaker and friends made three blankets each week for one year and donated them to babies in an Ethiopian hospital.

So fellows, pickup your crochet hooks and make some beanie caps.
