New Crochet Pattern: High Tide Skully Hat

It’s about time I finish this pattern, right?! I’m happy to say it’s ready! The High Tide Skully hat! It’s here! Yay! This one can be made as either a regular skully hat or with ear flaps. Either way, it’s a warm hat with a pretty texture that will keep your head cozy on cold days!

The pattern is intended for worsted weight yarn and uses only basic stitches (all single & double crochets). I consider the pattern advanced beginner/intermediate level. The ear flap version is going to be a little trickier than the regular skully version but there are 3 pages of the pattern dedicated to help with the ear flaps. The entire pattern is 9 pages long and includes plenty of photos to help you along. Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

The pattern is available through Ravelry, where you can download it instantly after check out.

 $4.00 

Even though it’s a warmer, more cold weather style hat, it makes me think of shells or waves so I had to use something beachy for the name! What do you think? I hope you like it! Also, I’m curious, how many of you will make the ear flap version? I’m not sure if I should make more ear flap styles in the future.

Pattern Testers Needed


Here’s another new hat design! This one can be made as a regular skully or with ear flaps. I’m looking for a few people to test both versions of it! Interested?

About the pattern
This is an intermediate level pattern that uses only basic stitches (single & double crochets). You’ll need 2 colors of worsted weight yarn & a size I crochet hook.

What is pattern testing?
Testing involves trying out the pattern and letting me know if you run into any typos or have any problems. I’m looking for someone who can be really critical! This is important. In the past I’ve had too many people tell me a pattern was perfect and then had other people testing the same pattern find obvious errors, etc. Please only apply if you’re really interested in offering constructive criticism.

How to apply
Please leave a comment on this post including the following:

1. Link me to your Ravelry/blog/Flickr or somewhere that I can see a few things you’ve made
2. Do you have Word or a program that lets you edit .DOC files?
3. I’d like to have testing completed by Tuesday the 12th. Is that doable for you?
4. Which version of the hat will you make? Ear flaps or regular skully?

I’ll contact you within 48 hours, by email if I choose you as a tester.

Please don’t email me about this! Just comment on this post. Thank you! :)

Thank you so much, everyone who offered to test for me! I have plenty to choose from and will be emailing you ASAP! If you’d like to know how to test for me in the future, check out this post! :)

New Crochet Pattern: Heartbeat Skully Hat

I have a new crochet pattern available today! This is the Heartbeat Skully hat! It’s a fun pattern because you can create two totally different looks depending on how you change colors (both ways are shown in the pattern, of course!). You can also make it in two different lengths. It can be a regular skully hat or you can make it extra long so it has some slouch!

The pattern is intended for worsted weight yarn and uses only basic stitches (chains, single & double crochets). No special techniques are used aside from back loops only, which I explain in the help section. I consider the pattern intermediate level. It’s 8 pages long and includes plenty of photos to help you along. Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

I hope you like the pattern! Let me know what you think! :)
