Katrina commissioned me to make a hat for her rainbow-loving daughter so we searched for patterns, decided on shades of color, and found this free Lattice Hat pattern that fit the bill! I practiced with a different skein of yarn since there were some new-to-me stitches and got to work! It took about 3 hours or so. And the most important part....she loves it!
It's a great pattern once you figure out how the author intended how the rows should start and end. She has designed it so one can hardly tell where the rows begin and end! Oh, the hat pattern is for an adult. To make it child size just start with 8 dc in the ring instead of 9!
I brought the small purple bowl to my mom and the instant she saw it, without knowing it was for her, she focused in on it "ooooh, what's this?" she said with a hopeful look on her face. She loved it. I knew she would!
I have been crocheting on and off for years. A friend’s mom taught me to crochet a bit in grade school over 25 years ago, but I hadn’t done anything with it until a few years ago when I re-taught myself using a simple book. I have crocheted baby blankets for my children and completed a handful of other small projects. I love all things crafty but I don’t do near as much as I used to now that I have three children under the age of 6. Crocheting is the perfect craft for my life right now, relax in my recliner after the kids go to bed and stitch up some great things for them to wear, use, and play with!

I'm a total crochet novice, having picked up the hobby in February of 2009. I am learning by surfing the internet, watching videos on YouTube, and playing around with things that are way too hard for a beginner! It's a joy for me to be doing something that appeals so much to both my creativity, and to my logical and mathematical side. I also enjoy golf, yoga, playing music (flute, violin, hammered dulcimer) and spending time with my husband and our four kids.
