Warm Winter Hats: 20 Adorable DIY & Handmade Options for Baby
Winter may not be the all-out, 4 to 5 month stretch of snow, wind, and slush for you that it is for us folk here in Northern Canada, but I know many of my friends States-side share in my winter woes. During these cold months, I find myself crafting late at night while watching some of my favourite shows. Projects of late (read: since having children) usually revolve making some sort of toy or article of clothing for one of my little ones.
One of my biggest addictions has been (and will probably always will be) hats. Crocheted, knitted, embroidered, felted, and quick fleece ones…I love them all. One does have to rotate their winter gear every now and then, and 4 to 5 months is a long time to wear just one winter hat. I mean, right?
So, without further ado, I present you with some of my most favourite (and easy) DIY hat tutorials, with some handmade options for those who are less craftily inclined, yet still love handmade.
