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.

I'd love the pattern please :) I love to crochet, and because I will visit my brother this summer in Thailand, that might be a nice thing to make and take with me.

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! :-)

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. |

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.

Those hats are adorable! I will have to check out the raffia pattern. Hooray for National Crochet Month! Perhaps I will get all my little projects done. :)

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.

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.

Diane, those hats are too cute! I personally like to crochet scarves, but I would like to try other things as well. God's Blessings, Megan
