Pretty New Hats!

Today I was feeling creative!  I had some extra yarn and it has been raining non-stop here in Sevilla and I was inspired to make something gold and cream.  I chose a yarn I had been waiting to use that is cream with gold metallic weaved in.  For the flower, a rose, I used a taupe brown (the same as from my new fringe blankets).  I'm really into nuetral colors right now if you couldn't tell! 

I wanted this hat to be girly and vintage looking, something you might see in an Anthropologie or a cute antique shop.  I used a special kind of shell stitch to achieve this and chose a rose to add that vintage flair.  I also gave the rose two little leaves which I thought went well. 

I think this hat looks very christmas/new years!  It would be so cute worn during all of those parties this season!

To the left is a picture of the work in progress hat and the yarn I used for the main color!  Side note: Does anyone know how to get the timestamps off of a camera?  It has been a real pain to me, especially since it is most definitely not 2007. 


Here are some pictures of the finished product!  I'm looking for a photographer to take a picture of this one!  The sample is a newborn size and if you're interested, you can convo me on Etsy.  I'd be willing to offer a refund in exchange for some usable pictures. 
If you are interested in this hat you can find it here in my Etsy shop!  Vintage Holiday Glamour Hat

  1. Precious. I cannot figure out how to crochet for the life of me!

    Go to menu on your camera. Keep looking, slowly, until you find the on/off toggle for the time stamp.

    I am impressed with how dedicated you have been to not turning it off! Haha!
