Crochet Slouchy Hat

Hello to you.
Hope you're all well.
I always enjoy reading through my favourite blogs and when I came across this particular post here on Jennifer's blog, I felt totally inspired.
I love a hat when it starts getting chillier. They cover a multitude of bad hair sins on a morning school run too!
At my local charity shop I had a real bargain with this yarn - £2 for six balls! Such a good bargain that I treated myself to a mossy green pack too!
I wanted to use it for something special and I knew when I saw the above post that's what I'd use it for.


The pattern you can find on the above link. I found the pattern really easy to follow. In all honesty though, I have to tell you I did have a little mishap! I began my hat in UK double crochet and soon realised it was an American pattern. Silly me! Oops.
So after a little unravelling I was back on track.
 
and here it is, complete and modelled by me.
 
Perfect for Autumn walks in the woods!
My daughter has requested one next.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, whatever you're up to.
Thank you for your kind comments on the last post, always so lovely to hear from you.
Now to carry on with the Cath Kidston inspired blanket!
A huge thank you again to Marianne at Ladybird Diaries for making my day with a mention in her post, pleased as punch!

Summer Lovin

Hello.
Hope you're all enjoying a nice weekend?
I thought I'd share a few photos of the garden.
The rain has arrived today, much needed by the garden.
Busy bumble bee!

Twisty bud.

My daughter's red sunflower in the sunshine.

Hydrangea Annabelle.

Sweet peas!

Wildflower mix.


Sunflower again.

Nearly ready to come out.

Our tallest sunflower must be over 7ft now!

My latest creation ready for cooler weather...not sure if it might look a bit tea cosyish!
Thank you for your lovely comments on the last post, I did love the yarn bombing.
