I thought I spend time on today's post listing samples from some of my favorite crochet projects...HATS!
Usually quick & easy to create, nothing is so deliciously rewarding as to complete one of these projects, successfully of course...then immediately pop it on your head to admire in the mirror.
On a Bad Hair Day, they can cover a myriad of horrors, & on a Good Hair Day they simply make you feel terrific.
They require small amounts of yarn, often enabling you to use up left-overs from larger projects. The span of an evening is the average time length for completion, depending on the length of your evening & the amount of excitement in the rest of your life. [This tells you a lot about me, as I spend a lot of time on the pc & crocheting!]
In any case, you can create a hat easily, quickly, & with small quantities of yarn. If you become enamored of a special pattern, you can whip the chapeau up many times to match different outfits...even give them as gifts [if you don't mind your friends & relatives meandering around in one of your 'signature' looks.]
When you can culminate this crafting adventure with a matching bag, well, words can just not Express!
The picture in the upper left is technically a snood [nor is there a bag to match], but I love it so much that I had to place it in this post. It covers so much of the head, that it can fall into the cap category also...anyway, that's my excuse. It is a sublime example of 1950's glamour & every woman should have one. If you don't have anything to wear with it...make it anyway. Trust me, you'll be sure to find a reason & outfit for it later!
There is a very large selection of hats & bags available for viewing at my etsy shop.
The proceeds from the sales of my vintage patterns are used in support of rescue animals.
Please share my store with friends and family to assist in this effort.

Below are some of my favorite hat & bag pattern duos for you to view.
This is getting rather lengthy, so I'll stop popping in my pattern pictures.
BEFORE I FORGET:
YOUR FREE PATTERN [I know I've seen a version of this pattern in my vintage publications. I think it resembles the sewing & craft bags my grandmother used for her needlework.]
ENJOY
