Welcome Baby Lukas

This hat was handmade by me for my friend Jessica.  She has been expecting baby Lukas, her 2nd son and I have been excited for an excuse to make something creative :)  First I made this baseball but it is a little larger for fall.

Then I made this football beanie.  The felt applique is cut and sewed on by hand.

Doesn't he just look amazing?? Such a handsome little baby boy!!

You can now find these items in my shop.  If you would like me to make something custom for you I'd love the challenge! Just send me a message! Thanks for sharing with me! :)

Anchor's Aweigh!

This little cutie I made for my friend's baby shower.  I can't wait for her to see it!  If you would like to get one you can order it from my shop and I'll make it in any size! :)

Birth Announcements in my hat!!

This little beauty is Leighton.  She is adorable isn't she!?  Her mommy and I are friends and I made this hat for one of her baby shower gifts.  Her mommy did her birth announcements with this photo! I am so honored to have my hat featured! :) Thank you Tori! :)

Crabby Hat

I made this little guy for my friend Tori's son Rylan.  He and his mommy love it! 

Close up photo:

You can now order this hat in my shop in your own choice of colors :)

As you can imagine being that Rylan is 2 years old he is hard to get a photo of sitting still! ;) lol  He looks so handsome in his new crabby hat!

Chocolate and White Striped Birdie Beanie

My hat of the day:

You can find it in my Etsy shop.  I would love to hear any ideas you have for a cute hat! I love custom orders! :)

Football Beanie

I just created a new hat today for my pregnant friend Jessica.  

She is pregnant with her 2nd son Lukas and I can't wait to see it on him! :)

You can buy one like it in my shop and pick your own colors and sport!  I want to make one for me in pink and white with a baseball to wear at the Padres games my hubby keeps getting us tickets to ;)

Strawberry Knit Hat

Can I just say that I seriously have the best customers EVER?  I made this knit hat (one of my, now, most popular hats next to the strawberry cupcake!) and I mentioned I would love to see a picture of her daughter in the hat.  Never, in my dreams did I imagine these amazing pictures in my inbox!!  Her family member is a photographer and takes some amazing photos!  You can find Janelle Marie Photography here to take a look at some of her amazing work!

What a doll baby!  I do love this hat on her! 

If you would like to get one of your own please contact me by email jackie_jones_68 at yahoo dot com or on my Etsy shop!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Knit Teddy Bear and Cocoon

My friend Molly and I arranged a barter (if anybody out there has a skill or talent you should totally do this!!) my end of the bargain was to knit her a teddy bear hat and cocoon.  She used it that very weekend for this adorable shot!

Isn't this little boy adorable!?

You can certainly tell who is the professional with the camera lol.  Here is my photo of the hat and cocoon.

If anyone is in Orange County, California and needs a photographer you can contact Molly at MollyAnnPhotography@Gmail.com

I love how the pictures turned out!! :)

"Steelers Girl" and "Bacon & Eggs Skull & Crossbones"

My friend Maxine has a granddaughter being born and they are huge Pittsburgh Steelers fans.  She contacted me and said she wanted something girly but still obviously team proud! :-) Hopefully I did her justice with this little number.  I ordered the bow from fellow Etsy Shop owner Ribbons and Blossom's

 and added it to the hat I hand knit.  Can't wait to see what the little angel looks like in her hat! :)

This is a "Paleo" hat special ordered.  It's for a special little boy my dad coined his "little boogie" at the crossfit gym up in Sacramento.  If you do Crossfit or know about the Paleo diet then you know the meaning behind it but it's something original!  I tried to find someone that would make me an embroidered patch but couldn't find anyone to do it.  So I bought some felt and gave it a whirl.  I searched blogs to see if anyone had done anything like it and came across Wee Folk Art's post with a tutorial on how to make bacon and egg play food out of felt.  It gave me the confidence that it could be done! Came out pretty good I think :)

Shark Knit Hat

Here is a hat I whipped up by request.  Apparently there is NOTHING on the web as far as a pattern so it was a bit of a challenge.  But now that I've done it I've gotten a little bit of interest I have a feeling I'll be doing it again soon.  When I do, I'll have to write up a free pattern and post it for you.  It will be my first ever pattern so I'm not sure It will be any good!?  In the meantime check out my chunky monkey wearing the shark hat I made with her "shark face" lol. So precious! These truly are some of the sweetest moments! :)  Love being a work at home mommy!!

The TP in the background is an oversight! LOL.  It's allergy season people!!

If you would like a custom knit hat please contact me through my Etsy shop or by email jackie_jones_68@yahoo.com

Thank you so much for looking! :)

Cutest Spring Chicken or maybe Coconut Cupcake?

This hat was hand knitted for my shop by my amazing grandmother :-) I loved it and just wanted to share!  I sold it to my friend Kelly for her adorable daughter Mackenzie to wear for Easter! LOVE it! :)  She is the cutest spring chicken?  or coconut cream puff? or I can't decide what to call this hat!

Viking Hat Follow Up

My dad and step-mom Stacie came down to San Diego to visit for Monkey's 2nd Birthday party (pictures coming soon!) so I was able to give him the viking hat I knitted and blogged about some time ago!  Here is a picture of him wearing it!  Apparently he has been wearing it non-stop...even to the gym!  lol.  Only my crazy (and awesome) dad can pull this one off ;)

LOL :-)

Newborn Giants Hat

This hat was made for my awesome MIL to give as a gift for a babyshower :-) I am super excited to see the new baby in this hat!  You can see this and other hats at my Etsy shop and if you would like one please message me :-)

Knit Viking Hat

I went searching the internet for a free knitting pattern for a request for a Viking Hat.  I found Laura's blog Knit For Your Life.  She provided a really clear explanation for how to knit a great looking hat.  Here is a picture of hers:

I wanted it a little bit different so I went with a gray/silverish color for the bottom piece and continued with brown for the rest of the hat. 

 I also added braids to it.

Had a lot of frustration fun learning how to make a bobble (the little nobby thing around the brim of the hat)  But found a nice video on You Tube  that helped.  I am such a visual learner I need to SEE it happen before I can actually do it.  Unless I've done it before. :)  

Thanks so much for checking out my project.  :-)
