Love the hats! They are adorable.
they are beautiful
I have a 1yr old that absolutely loves to were hats so I'm getting in to crocheting. I love the pink hat with the little purple flower is that also an Ava hat? I'm going to give your Ava hat a try :O). Thanks Gen
i am looking to make a mans hat that is similar to the blue and white one..
could you tell us what you did so i can get a general idea?
thanks
amanda
Hi Amanda,
That one I just sort of made up as I went. It's very basic. I used all HDC increasing each row till I got the size I wanted. Then for the last row I alternated a hdc with a front-post hdc and finished up with a row of reverse single.
Hope that helps.
:)
I would love to get the pattern for the pink one...its beautiful! thanks!
I finally finally found the pattern for that pink hat (which is good because I want to make more!)
It is Auntie M's design - A Rose is a Rose hat!
You can find it on-line here:

I have looked everywhere for the pattern to the crochetgoddess spring into Winter hat, you have pictured. I cannot find it. Can you please tell me where I can get that pattern
I have started the Ava hat, just beautiful, but I am on row 13 and I do not know what the term "bpdc in next 2 stitche" means...I am new to crochet, doing very well, until this term...thank you Linda
Hi Linda!
I hope you check back for the answer! BPDC is "back post double crochet" It is just like a double crochet, but instead of working in the top of the stitch, you work around the post of the stitch going from the front around the back. You're probably reading that and wondering what the heck I'm talking about, so look at this website for a better explanation.

Hi,
I've looked everywhere for the "A rose is a rose" hat. It seems the website is with the pattern is no longer available. Do you happen to have the pattern?
Thank you so much.
~Kathleen
I'm sorry Kathleen, if the link doesn't work, I suppose its not available any longer - which is really sad because I love that hat!
If I do find it somewhere online, I'll post another link, but if the designer took it down, I guess it's no longer available :(
For those of you looking for the "A Rose Is A Rose" crochet hat pattern (copyright 2003 by Auntie M's free crochet patterns), you can still find it by going to Auntie M's free crochet patterns, click on free patterns, then scroll past the baby patterns to about the second or third box down. There you will find A Rose Is A Rose hat. The lettering is hard to read (blue on black background), but it's still there in the archives. I just printed another copy. Hope this helps.
Thank you, Donna!
I couldn't find my copy, and I really love that pattern!!

Thank you, La'Keesha!
I know that I'm not the only one who loves that pattern!
Do you have your other crochet patterns in a database somewhere for access? You have many pictures of patterns I would like to try! -Marci
Thanks Marci!
My original patterns are peppered throughout my blog. I need to find a way to have on page of links to all of them.
If I can find someone savy enough to help with that, I'll post them.
:-)
Well, you could make a separate blog that you posted only your patterns to, then just make sure you label them with a category (hats, bags, clothing, afghans, etc) and then add a label gadget to the side of your blog for easy access to the different patterns you have posted. I don't know if that helps, but I know so many would love it! On this blog, you could just post a permanent link directing people to the original patterns on your pattern blog (page). It's just about as good or better than a website!
um...I just found a link to your Pattern Place. PERFECT! You didn't need my advice at all. Thank you so much for the helps on creating such beautiful works!
Noticed you said you are Indianaonians, sorry no such thing. We are Hoosiers and proud of it too!
I LOVE Hoosiers, but I am a proud Indianaonian! ;-)
I have just started crocheting and need help. I am doing the ava hat, it is adorable!! On step 7 after I have finished I still have one dc left. If I were to slip stitch it leaves a hole. Is this how it is suppose to be? I have done it twice and counted everything, but keep on having the same thing. Thank You
Hi Nurse,
I'm sorry you're having trouble! I haven't made this hat in so long - I should try it again. Looking back over the pattern, I'm wondering if I miscalculated the stitch count. Nobody else has reported a problem, but it looks like I did something wrong, so the problem is probably me and not you!
Not to worry. This will be easy to correct. What I would do if I were you, is to do a stitch in that last stitch in row 7. b Then count how many stitches you have in the row. In Row 8 where you do an even row of stitches, either do one extra, or do one reduction to get to the correct stitch count - then keep going. Because it's crochet in the round, it will be very forgiving, and nobody will see the adjustment.
I'm going to try the pattern again myself, and if I did do the counts wrong, I'll correct and update.
Hope this helps!

What is the pattern for the pink one? I'm new to crocheting and just need an idea on how to get the lacy look you've got toward the bottom.
Hi April,
The pink hat is not my pattern. It's Auntie M's a Rose is a Rose Hat.
It's very pretty, isn't it?
You can find the pattern on line here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040204220123/http://webpages.charter.net/basheera/rosehat.html
thanks for the great pattern. I live in central Indiana. Wish they were a lot of us close so we could get to gether a sewing/crotchet circle.
I just started crocheting(about a year) and I love it... I found this page and fell instantly in love. I make hats for my neice and family. Thank You..Susan
Im new to crocheting so I have been just surfing the net looking for some fun hat patterns and found this page. I thank you for this, Keep up the great work.
Welcome to Indiana. Was born and raised here, moved away for 20 years and am now back. Your a Hoosier now. Welcome again. Your hates are great.
Hi! Great hats! Thank you for posting this pattern. I do have a question though...on step 10, it says to do a X stitch? What is that (I'm new to crocheting)? Is there a link somewhere online that can tell me or teach me how to do it or maybe an alternative for that row of stitches that would be better for a beginner to use?
Hi!
The X stitch is basically 2 double crochets done crossing over each other to form a fixure "X".
You can find a tutorial on it here:
http://www.crochetcabana.com/stitches/stitches-x-stitch.htm
If it's too difficult to follow, you could DC in every other stitch w/ a slip stitch or sc in between, and then weave the ribbon through that.
Good luck!!
I love the Ava pattern,and would love to make it.
However please can you tell me what the British equivelent is for "worsted" yarn ? Also "baby sport" I cannot find either of these in our shops.
Thanks
Debbie
Hi Debbie,
I hope you'll check back for the answer. I'm not familiar with British terminology, but I checked on Google and according to them (and google knows everything, right?)
Worsted Weight = 10-ply
Baby Weight = 3-ply
I hope that helps!!
ooh, lovely hats. I'm going to try the Ava hat asap. I'm new to crocheting so we'll see....
Thanks so much for sharing it.
I haven't been crocheting a month yet and I really like you hat pattern but am having problem at the beginning of the pattern. I was wondering if its starting off as a spiral or is a sl st suppose to connet the st.
I'm so glad you like the pattern!
The hat is worked in rounds, not as a spiral. The slip stitch at the end completes each round, then start the next row.
Hope that makes sense!!
