Crocheted Beanie Fun

We arrived home from our trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon yesterday. Like all vacations, it did not last long enough. It was amazing though. Arizona is a beautiful state. We did a lot of driving. I took some great pictures, but I will save them for my next post. It certainly was an exciting and memorable holiday trip.

I anticipated really cold weather for this trip, at least cold by South Floridian standards. The weather forecasts kept saying 20's and 30's for the days we would be there. Wouldn't you know it, it was in the 60's and 70's at least in the day time. The night time was different, but we stayed in. So much for the new winter coats I bought! I hope we get a cold snap in Miami so we can at least wear them once this winter. 

All of this winter weather planning got me inspired to make us hats before we left.  I've never crocheted hats before, so I went on a search and found a cool pattern on Etsy right here.

These were super easy to make and came out awesome. I was really happy with the results. It also taught me how to crochet in the round. A technique that I didn't know how to do.

My son's Beanie.

Even though it wasn't that cold, we still wore our beanies. I told the boys I wanted some family pictures with our beanies on at the Grand Canyon.

These are such a fun project. I made a second one on the plane in the same colors as my boyfriend's and listed it in my Etsy store. He actually has a few co-workers who want to buy some beanies from me too. I was very surprised. A couple of the girls asked for matching scarves too. I'm very excited about this. If you would like one for yourself or as a gift, feel free to ask.

Thanks for stopping by today.
