This is the perfect pattern for December – it works up unbelievably quickly AND they make great last-minute gifts in case you forgot that you were someone’s Secret Santa or your present is feeling a little lackluster. This is Canada after all, and everyone can always use an extra toque.

#182 – Fox Hat
Last summer, I wanted to make a baby hat for my cousin, but it ended up being too small. I was so disappointed, but I promised myself I would try again. This was my second attempt, and I actually ended up making it a bit too big, but my hope is that he can grow into it.

I know I’ve been posting a lot of non-crochet projects lately, and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t really feeling crochet for a little bit. I just didn’t find it motivating, but I think I am back in the groove!

#117 – Two-Tone Earflap Hat
Considering that this hat was a Christmas present, this post is long overdue! I pretty much didn’t make the Christmas deadline though, so maybe this procrastination was to be expected.
#116 – C2C Toque
In case you haven’t noticed yet, I really like pattern testing. I think that each person brings such different elements to crochet, even if everyone is working with the same foundation of single, half-double, and double crochets. One person that I think has a very unique crochet style is Esther, from Cute as a Button.
