baby newsboy hat

I had some yarn left over from the grey and red loafers I crocheted, so I thought I'd make a matching hat.  I google image searched and found this adorable hat :)  I didn't have the size hooks called for in the pattern, and my yarn is a little thicker, so I had to fudge it here and there.

I did the strap across the front the same as the strap for the loafers, I just made it longer.

it was an easy hat to make once I got the sizing right, and I might attempt another in the future, but for now I just like looking at this one and imagining it on Jack's little head :)

and for the boys...

I wanted to use what I learned from the Mary Jane's I crocheted to adapt a booty for a boy. I really liked these from bobbinoggin, but I wasn't ready to buy a pattern so I just made it up as I went using the picture for inspiration.

I'm pretty happy with them for my first try. I might try again with a few adjustments and use brown yarn like bobbinoggin did, but they still came out super cute and I was excited to give them away :) after I make another pair I'll pay more attention and post my pattern!
