Hudson Hats? - Page 2

I started mine last night! I'm using Red Heart Super Savers Multi in Seagrass (I think that's the name)

I love the Hudson Hat. Though I don't know that I will be able to purchase the pattern. Just can't put the money out now. I have seen similar patterns online. Do I dare start another knitting project before I finish the others

I can't wait to see pictures. If you saw my hat thread, I love knitted hats!

Peace,
Cindy

I have 5 children too! How long did they take you to make? Any teens? I have two.

Peace

I'm making a toddler one-started it last night and I'll finish it today. I'd say maybe 5-6 hours?

I'm new here so let me see if it will allow me to post pictures. My avi pic is one I knit up for my son. Scrappy yarn...with a shortened "hat tail".

Here is a newborn hat I made for a custom:

My son's again, different pic:

One in progress for my husband (it is red, not pink):

OMG you must be too critical on your work because that hat is beautiful. I can not see a decrease at all. I think we study our own work too much.

I once looked on youtube and was able to see several different ways to K2tog. But I still do mine the regular way which to me is very noticeable on mine lol!

Great hat!!

Thank you! I can totally tell though sitting across the room from it

. I have no idea why they turned out that way-maybe the yarn shows it because I don't see decreases that well in anything else I've made. Glad you like it though-DS keeps pulling it off and throwing it. I took a quick picture in the car but had to tie it on so he'd keep it on:

Here's a pic of one I made for my son. I just used acrylic because we have wool allergies here. I've never posted a pic before on here so I hope it comes out. We'll see!
