A Crochet Aviator Hat for My Airman!
I almost forgot to show y'all the cute hat I made for my man! I used a super simple pattern from Sarah Zimmerman's Repeat Crafter Me! I was actually making it for my cousin who's expecting her first child in February, but something happened and the hat ended up being adult sized... So of course my Air Force boyfriend offered to take it off of my hands for me. I obliged with the strict stipulation that I get to post photos of him wearing the hat whenever and wherever I want. This includes advertising, my blog, and any random moment I might feel like a little blackmail. JK! Haha! My head is more than just a pretty hatrack.
All kidding aside, he really was a great sport about the whole thing and even put it right on and struck a "Driving on a mission" pose! Plus he makes a pretty dreamy head model, of course I'd never tell him that because he might get the idea that I'm just dating him for his head. (wink, wink). But you know that one day I'm gonna have to have an UP inspired photoshoot with this man! He's the perfect Carl to my Ellie! (Well if that wasn't cheese-tastic, I just don't know anymore...)
Anyway, review time. Like I said before, this hat is very basic. It's like all of Sarah's other double crochet hats with earflaps. The new part is the goggles and let me tell you, rest your hands while you can because the bulky yarn was killing mine. That's honestly the most difficult part of the pattern. It would look super adorable on a newborn AND there's even a tutorial on the site about how to make your own little cardboard airplane photo prop! Yes! So check it out on REPEAT CRAFTER ME! (Just follow that link!)
Happy Crafting!
