I’m wishing I even had the first inkling of knowing how to knit (crochet? do I even know the difference?) after admiring these colorful cozy accessories. Sadly, I’ve never picked up a needle (hook? which is it?)
it’s featured on a little girl, but I would totally wear this hat every day, all winter long.
really, could keeping warm get any cuter than this?

I've seen that rainbow pompom hat before and LOVE it. I just got started crocheting, but I only know how to make one thing, so… guess I have a lot of learning left to do!
WV: rhompr. I always think of Baby rompers when I hear that word.
It's never too late to learn! I just learned to crochet last year and I'm 30. (Well, technically I learned as Merry Miss, but all I could do was chain.)
I'm hoping to learn to knit next year. (Gotta pace myself.
)
Knitting is needles, crochet is hook. I can usually tell the difference based on how closely the yarn is worked (meaning is there a lot of loose stitches and holes-crochet- or is it pretty tight with no holes-knit). I am fairly adept at both, though I have never attempted hats or socks or gloves/mittens… Time to start learning I guess!
I recently tried to sew a baby blankie, which required three people just to help me pin the fabric together, and another 2 to help me undo all my mistakes with the sewing machine. Just to illustrate how deficient I am in crafty genes. But I certainly can admire!
You should totally learn how to knit! I took a class last winter and knitted myself a pretty sweet scarf.
Knitting is easy peasy, lemon squeezy. The straight lined stitching I mean.
Some people make it look so easy!
I'm hosting a giveaway on my blog for a crocheted headband and I just wish I knew how to make it all myself..
i just took knitting lessons one year ago and surprisingly, really enjoy it. lessons are so worth it.
They are all so cute!
I love them.
Gorgeous. I might need to break out my needles again! -Christine
Christine,
I never would have pegged you for a knitter, but maybe in our adventure next summer you can teach me how to do sweaters in the car….
Oh, my! I need to have another baby boy so his grandma can make that little owl hat for him. Love it. Love them all! Thanks for sharing.
i've attempted lessons once from a friend – decided after about 4 hours and a disastrous snake looking piece, i couldn't do it! maybe someday when the patience is a little higher and the kids are older.
I taught myself to knit a few years ago by watching videos on knittinghelp.com. It's so relaxing!
My little Oliver needs that hat – we call him "Owlie!"
