A couple weeks ago, many of you were excited about a Team Canada Toque after I published my Neva Hat (Team USA Hat). I put a vote on my Facebook page and the pretty fair isle hat won by a landslide, so that is the design I used as inspiration for this Chinook Toque. It turned out quite lovely, although I think the design might be a bit intricate for the stitch size (maybe?)
I reached out to Yarnspirations, which is a Canadian yarn company; it just seemed too perfect to make this Team Canada Toque with genuine Canadian yarn, and I even chose their Patons Canadiana to make the hat (so perfect, right?!). I could not have chosen better yarn for this hat, it is so soft and squishy. You will LOVE your finished Chinook Toque (I love mine!)

I love the end of the year. It’s hard to believe that it’s already time to evaluate my goals! I keep all my goals on a handwritten list taped to my desk. I use the last week of every December to evaluate them, to see how well I did and how I can raise the bar for the upcoming year. It’s a lot of fun, and goals can truly be achieved if you work hard and keep your internal voice positive. As I was working on my goals, I decided to crochet a new hat, because I am obsessed with hats (apparently). I have had this wool tweed yarn in my stash for a while and I decided to break it out and make something. I settled on the idea for this Crochet Confetti Tweed Slouchy. I thought the tweed was very fitting for the end of the year, a nod to NYE and confetti, don’t you think?

This Women’s Button Trapper Hat has been a long time coming. I got so many requests from readers who loved the Baby Trapper Hat, but couldn’t seem to find room on my calendar for it. That is why I love the end of December and the month of January: new beginnings. It’s a perfect time to get settle down after the busy holiday and work on things you haven’t had time for. This hat is worked with two strands, so it’s fun, chunky and really warm.

Happy December everyone! Though we are still waiting for snow here in Northern Utah, it’s been very chilly! It’s been chilly enough for me to start working on some warm and cozy patterns and projects. Since The Boy is growing like a weed, he needed a new winter hat. I decided to make him this Toddler Trapper Hat, big-boy version of the adorable Baby Button Trapper Hat. It’s just as adorable on him as it is on an infant, so this pattern is definitely a win.
