Crochet Hat and Scarf sets

Hat/Scarf set by Yolanda's Creations

So I know when I go to a store and I see a hat and scarf set I see mostly knitted (factory knitted) sets.  I wish I would see more crochet sets.  I say this because I feel it would give customers more of choice in style from a crocheting perspective.  But hey it’s ok more room for me to make my own …right? You know my mother knits and crochets and no matter how much I want to I never do it…knit! I find it too difficult to hold my knitting needles.

Anyway here I am showing you a few of my sets that I have enjoyed making in the past and recently.  I also make the crochet fingerless gloves as well to go with them if people request them when they order from me.  But for the most part I just do the hat and scarf set.

My creations are made with 100% acrylic yarn that I have purchased at AC Moore or Michaels.   I add fringes on some and most I don’t.  I also start working on my sets more or less around summer time to have them ready by mid-September just in time for the fall.  I would say for me to make one set it would take me (non-stop) about 1 week and depending on how long you want your scarf and/or how wide or long you want you hat I would say make sure you have at least 3-4 skeins of yarn.  I can tell you for the two I am showing here it took 3. 

Here’s my message to you…keep me in mind when the weather gets cold, look for one of my creations that will keep you warm and trendy and it’s crochet.

My cold weather hat and scarf sets will keep you warm and ensure you look stylish even as the temperature get a bid too much to handle (burrrr … cold).  My sets are machine washable and I prefer to line dry my hats .

Crochet hats for everyone...

I remember a couple of holidays ago my mother came to stay with me for about a month.  And I remember her giving my husband a set of hats and scarves that she crochet and knitted.  I was amazed at how expensive they looked and the knitted one looked too complicated for me to even say to her ...hey I can do that!
So I in turn decided that I would crochet one or a few for myself first template or guide.  And I only thought of this since I had never really crochet in a long time.

So the first hat I started to make  was the beret hat.  These to me were trial an error til I finally got the hang of it.  Then I decided to crochet a simple hat that I could fold around as a brim …this one I got pretty easy.  Then I decided, you know, I really would like to learn how to knit but didn’t want to do it with the two needles ...really I didn't but if that was going to be the only way oh well.  So when I was doing my usual research on line to see how to knit (trust me I did have two knitting needles that I purchased with my mom so I had something to work with) I discovered that you could knit with a loom. I looked at videos after videos and discovered I needed to give this a try.  So I went to one of my favorite places AC Moore and purchased my first loom - the round ones.  Eventually I went and got the long ones as well at Michaels .

Truth be told once I started to knit my hats on the round looms I was getting the hang of it.  I especially liked it when I was able to create my own brim on the loom which I thought was pretty cool.  I have made tiny hats for newborns and have made bigger hats for young kids.  I haven’t made one for adults off the loom.  These I have made (adult ones) by crocheting. 


Needless to say, I have learned to overcome some of my fears of knitting but I know one day I need to or should learn the way with the two needles just like my mom has.

Anyway, here are a few  that I am showing from the ones I made off the loom to the ones I have crochet to even some that my mom has made. 

Oh before I forget the one area I also need to get used to making are hats for men/boys.  I need to get cracking on that LOL
