Hot Pink with Black Polka-Dots

This pink beanie can be worn as a baggy beret.  It has vintage black sequins woven into it which creates a polka-dot effect.  Unique and fun.

Brown and Red Back -To-School

Same style as the earlier Back -To-School hats.  Bunchy top, baggy fit, and ribbed band.  To create this chunky, two-toned tweed effect, I crochetted with two strands of different vintage, salvaged yarns.

Kid's Fuzzy Earflap Hat

Blue, green, turquoise, and purple are the colors that make up this uni-sex 1-4 years hat.  Soft, fuzzy and warm, with earflaps and tassels.  

Chunky Raspberry Beanie

This is a thick-knit baggy beanie. The yarn is very soft and made up of a few shades of brown and raspberry.  

Open-Knit Sparkly Tam

This hat is black with green sparkles.  I got the sparkly yarn in Mexico.  It works nice as a little hair net.

Cotton Rainbow Tam

Bright yellow chartruse with red, green, and gold multi-colored yarn.  100% cotton.  Open knit and "Granny Square" design at the top.  

Jamuna Rosa French Beret

This beret was inspired by Jamuna's magenta hat, which she made with a rose flower at the top.  This one is different because it has a brimmed edge all around.  It is made with a beautiful brown sparkly gold yarn from France.  

Dark Blue Tweed Wool Dread Cap!

Navy Blue is my new favorite hat color for this season.  I still have this one in size med. dread.  It has a nice open design on top.  100% wool.

BC High-grade Wool Fades

 These wool hats are made with multicolored wool yarn that creates a color fading look.  I got the yarns on Granby Island in Vancouver, BC.  The yarn is actually from Japan.  Pictured top to bottom: Green, Brown and Blue.


Vintage Brown Fade

This hat is made with some vintage yarns in shades of brown and red and gold.  It is a size small dread hat.  (Or baggy beanie, size large).  Very Fall.

Pool Hat

I call this the pool hat because it reminds me of all the nice times I had this summer swimming at a beautiful pool in downtown Santa Cruz.  It is made with white and blue velour yarn from my Aunt Punkin.  It has a very soft texture almost like velvet meets terry cloth.  It would be perfect for putting wet hair in after a swim!  And even though it is October, the perfect warm days are still rolling in out here in California.
