Crocheted Winter Hats

I guess I am in a crocheting mood lately.  I get that way sometimes, I go months and months without picking up a crochet hook and then all of a sudden, I really can't get enough!  My grandkids were looking online with me at winter hats.  Each had a definite idea of what they thought they wanted and definite colors as well. This is a result of their choices.  Both went up really quick :) TFL

This pattern can be found here: http://swirlsandsprinklesblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/my-favorite-elf-hat.html

This hat was made from a pattern that I got somewhere about three years ago but there is a very similar pattern that can be found here:  http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/05/lacy-stitch-newborn-hat-free-crochet.html

What the hats look like by themselves :)

Drop in the Pond Crocheted Baby Blanket

I made this baby blanket for a baby shower.  It is called 'Drop in the Pond' and you can find it on Ravelry.com.  It is a lap blanket but I found it to be a little narrow for a baby blanket so I finished mine off completely different than the pattern called for so that I could widen it out a bit.  I really like the pattern, it is super easy and I think i would really like to try it with Black as the main color and turquoise and purple as the supporting colors.  Thanks for looking!
