New hats Spring Summer 2014

These hats are inspired by Juanjo Olivas hats shown in the Spring Summer 2014 Collection - and are also inspired by the type of hats called Peach Basket. The hats are easy to make - just look at the photos. I make an innerhat - then I crochet a cover for it. I have crocheted the cover for these ones but you can always knit - or make them in fabric, fur or whatever you wish.
  




The cover is crocheted. (dc/usa:sc) I used chunky yarn, to match crochet hook No. 7.
Inside the hat - the cover is stiched to the innerhat. I used thinner yarn (crochet hook No 3)
 



On this cover I used double tread/yarn.



 

 
 
Love this colour for summer. You can decorate the hats as you wish - or not !!
The pattern on this one is easy:  2 ch, 1dc (usa: sc)


The top of the hat: I only crocheted htr on the top.
 

Innerhat is made like this - I stich them by hand - and put a string at the bottom so you can bend
it anyway you like.

Getting ready for hatpresentation

I am sorry I have not posted anything these last weeks, but I have been working very hard trying to get ready for the presentation on Monday the 23. June. I have some great hatmodels and we are having our first (and only!!) rehearsel tomorrow evening. I will show 40 hats and other headpieces/fascinators.

If you are closeby Bøe og Sande grendahus in Herøy kommune, on Monday,  you are very welcome. The gathering (basar) starts at 16.30 and as far as I know the hatpresentation will take place about 17.30-18.00.
They sell burgers and other food from the grill, sour-cream porridge and a lot of wonderful cakes. So you don't have to leave starving.

And as promised I will blog photos after.
