Large Button Cowl For Men or Women

I'm in love with these large button cowl/scarves!!  They are a unisex style.  The wooden buttons are the perfect color brown to compliment the rustic feel of these handmade scarves.    I found these beautiful buttons on Amazon for a really good price.  You can get them here.

Button Scarf For Hubby

My husband wanted me to make him a scarf with buttons.  I chose this lovely, acrylic/wool blend, roving yarn in this gorgeous cobalt blue color.  This scarf can be worn 2 ways: first it can be worn by buttoning the two lower buttons which gives you a looser fit around the neck as he is wearing it in the above picture, or with the extra button, you can also wear it so that it covers your neck more.  See pictures below to see what I mean.  

I personally am loving this scarf!!  Do you want to replicate this look, find the yarn here, and the large wooden buttons I purchased them here.

Finished Adult Messy Bun, Ponytail Hat

I finished the adult-size, messy bun/ponytail hat in black with an oversized flower.  I'm loving this hat!!

Notes about making this hat:  Instead of only using the elastic in the circle, I also added a chain which I slip-stitched into a loop (I thought this might be a good idea in case the elastic ever broke).

Another thing I did, was use a chainless double crochet stitch when I did the slipstitch with each new row (this makes an almost invisible seam).  

I doubled my yarn (I used two skeins of 4 ply yarn, which makes the hat stiffer and a bit heavier).

My flower is oversized with 7 petals (I love the fullness of 7 petals as opposed to only 5).

I just purchased this amazing book on how to crochet different stitches.  You will enjoy the many photographs and clear instructions.  Enjoy!

Working On Adult Messy Bun Hat

I made a cute, messy bun hat for my granddaughter which turned out to be perfect for her mounds of curly hair!  Of course, she makes everything look cute in my eyes (lol).  Now, I'm working on an adult size messy bun (ponytail) hat in an adult size S/M.  Here is what I got so far.  It's going well.  I will be done shortly and will add a lovely crochet flower to the side to give it that glamorous look!

I'll post the pattern when I'm done.  Please take a moment to click on the FOLLOW button (up on the right of the page.  If you love DIY and handmade, you will love the Handmade-Korner!

Here is the one I made for my granddaughter (below).

Professional Finish To Handmade Hats

I found these awesome, little pyrographed, wooden tags with the word "Handmade" on them.  I absolutely love them!  They will add a professional finish to my handmade knit and crochet projects. 

What do you think?  You can find these tags here.

I'm Addicted to Knitting and Crocheting!

What do you do when it's time to unwind with hubby?  Why not watch a bit of Netflix together.  Sure.  Except, I get bored when I watch tv.  So, I would usually download some puzzles on my device and multi-task while keeping my husband company.  

So, one day, I thought I would make better use of my time by actually making practical things I could share with family and friends and also sell in my Etsy shop.  Now, I have a hidden bin next to the sofa where I keep my goodies and materials at an arm's length; ready to explore a new project at any time.  

Here area a few projects I've done recently:

Check out those faux racoon-fur pompoms!  I love them because they snap on so that you can easily unsnap for washing the hat without ruining the pompom.  My favorite pompom style too!! I got them here on amazon.  There are different colors to choose from.

Of course, you could make your own pompoms too.  That's what I did for a few of the hats in this post.  For a beautiful, puffy pompom every time, I used this really simple, pompom maker.

You can purchase my hats and my cowls from my Etsy shop here.

The two following hats are made for those who brave the cold.  The thick, double brim will keep your ears nice and toasty!  Plus the hats are made a genuine wool mix (there is nothing like natural fibers).
