So lets begin!

                                               The Busy Mom Hat

                                   By Siena’s Maine Design

This hat is so fast and fun you’ll be finishing a few in no time! Perfect for the busy mom, when you just need to put your hair in a quick tie, pop on your hat and run out the door.

Lets face it, winter is way more fun if you get outside to play and you are cozy warm and your hair isn’t in your face!!

Materials:

J 6.00MM crochet hook

1 ball Bernat Alpaca yarn Weight category: 5, 70% Acrylic/30% Alpaca, 120yd/110m.(any Bulky 5 works well)

Sissors

Yarn needle

optional hair tie and tag

Here’s a description of the yarn I found at THIS website and it’s perfect (not sponsored)

“BERNAT-Alpaca Chunky Yarn. A luxuriously soft blend of natural alpaca and durable acrylic. Chunky weight yarn knits quickly with beautiful stitch definition. Sophisticated shades that knit and crochet a fabric with a lovely drape. Alpaca fiber is long, fine and without grease and is shinier, smoother, stronger and several times warmer than wool. It is also heavier and less elastic than wool. Weight category: 5, 70% Acrylic/30% Alpaca, 120yd/110m. Suggested knitting needles: 10/6mm, crochet hook: J10/6mm. Care: hand wash, dry flat, do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean. Imported.”

I don’t know about you, but I find myself buying bulky 5 yarn a lot and NEVER use it. I have so much of it, because it is so pretty yet I just don’t have that many patterns for it.
