CROCHET

Baby Owl Hats

So in my craziness of working full time, I have not had as much time to dedicate to anything but working and trying to get into medical school. But I wanted to give all of you an option to be able to do what I do for Baby Showers. If you have not learned this yet, I am cheap! Extremely cheap to the point where if I see something I want i.e. clothing, hats, curtains, etc. I tell myself "I can make that, why waste 20 dollars when I can make it for 2?" Yet most of the time I never end up making it and I just go without. 

But for baby showers I have found that this is the hands down best gift that you can give to people that they actually use. Baby Hats are the trend of newborn baby shoots and just adorable how tiny and cute they are. 

I actually use all of my crochet patterns from a site called Repeat Crafter Me. She has hands down the easiest and cutest crochet patterns! 

This is the Newborn Owl Hat pattern that I use for every hat even if it is not an owl hat. 

Also I love to switch up the yarn and use cotton based yarn called Sugar and Spice, though it is a little more expensive I think the colors are much cuter than the Lions Brand Yanna's Choice Yarn. 

If you have any questions about how to start crocheting or how I learned how comment below and I will get back to you with some of my helps.
