Hats

 Recently I got a request from my grand daughter for a frog hat. I was able to find several easy patterns on you tube, so I made one for my grandson too. I can't take credit for the patterns. Will try and post links to the crochet videos found on you tube if I can. 

The basic bucket hat pattern for both hats came from Melody Crochet on her you tube video.

Although not a difficult crochet project for me, it has taken some time to complete for various reasons. I started making this hat in the summer, which means months ago in Florida. As the days grew longer and hotter, closing the blackout curtains became mandatory, and as any experienced crocheter knows, black and other dark colored yarns are hard to see, especially in dimly lit rooms so that--along with my aging eyes slowed my progress. Summer in Florida is different. It begins in April or even March with temperatures in high 80s to low 90s and from there it ramps up to 90s and 100s Fahrenheit with high humidity by June. There it remains until sometime in December, usually. There's no relief at night either.                  I have other long neglected projects to do: two afghans (that's crochet for blanke...
