Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 06:19:39 AM I received an e-mail that march is National Crochet Month! Who knew? I started a new project. Crocheting wide brimmed sun hats with all natural paper rafia! It is quite different to work with but they turn out so awesome. They are perfect for gardening. I have four of them for sale in my local co-op. I will post pictures soon, since I just figured out how to do that. Anyone interested in the pattern or where you can find the raffia, shoot me an e-mail.

Posted - Mar 04 2010 : 3:40:53 PM Actually the hats pictured are kids sun hats made out of recycled cotton. I don't have a picture of the rafia hats yet. They are in a local shop and I have to go take a picture of them.

Posted - Mar 04 2010 : 2:58:03 PM I love those hats! I have a crocheted paper hat that I bought a couple of years ago and it was my favorite summer hat. I've worn it so much that it no longer holds the brim up and I've been wondering what I was going to do. This pattern sure looks similar. Think I'll just have to order it! Thanks for the links.

Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 09:10:43 AM I don't have a picture of the raffia sun hats yet but I do have one of some children's sun hats made from cotton. The pattern is free at the Lion Brand link I previously posted. I added the vine and flowers on my own. http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/patternFinder.fcgi?language=&store=%2Fstores%2Flionbrand&cost=%2Fstores%2Flionbrand&search=1&craft=Crochet&searchText=childrens+sun+hat

Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 08:55:12 AM Ok, found out that the raffia sunhat pattern is copy writed so here is a link to the company Crochet Asylum and a link to find raffia ribbon all natural cheaper than that site has. Also a link to the e-pattern for the easier sunhat out of cotton for beginner crocheters. http://www.nashvillewraps.com/raffia/paper-ribbon/c-038234.html http://crochetasylum.com/cart/paper-raffia-widebrim-hat-a-me-nolfi-design-pattern-p-114.html http://www.e-patternscentral.com/detail.html?prod_id=5523&cat_id=444&criteria= I just don't want to break any laws! There are a lot of free crochet patterns at http://cache.lionbrand.com/

Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 08:42:17 AM I am working on getting the pattern and supplies out to you all. Just a note for beginner crocheters, this is quite difficult to handle...not for beginners. I do have a link to a free sunhat pattern made out of cotton that is easy for beginners. I will post the links.

Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 07:19:31 AM I'd like to get the pattern. I don't know how to crochet yet, but one thing that's keeping me from taking it up is that I don't really need anything I could crochet. A sun hat would be a great project. |

Posted - Mar 03 2010 : 07:19:26 AM Those hats sound like a neat idea, Diane! Looking forward to seeing photos of them, as it sounds like something I would enjoy! I won't ask for the pattern, since I don't crochet...working on learning so I can do a very basic dishcloth, though! :-)
