I made three bucket hats in different sizes in just a week!

Hello, everyone! It's the first day of November, mine and my son's birth month and I am looking forward to see what God had laid for us all for this month; also, we are on the second last month of this year which seemed to have passed by so fast. I hope that in t eh remaining days of this years, we will be poured with blessing; the crypto market is very low now and i hope that one day, ti will pump up for the benefit of us all.

Anyway, as a mother of three and a full time working mom, who tries to be more productive that what I can give, also to give my self a therapy from post partum depression; I tried to crochet not just a hobby but also a sideline; another source of finances in our household's needs I can't see inspirations on facebook because it's already flooded with art and drawing. I

So I kept tying on making until it made sense. See that yarn? it used to be cake but since I never liked what I did about it, I frogged(frogging is the process of ripping off what you have made) it and rolled. Trust me, when thing gets like this, it's very frustrating.

After a few minutes, I finally made teh size of the base that I needed. It was raining almost every afternoon so I came up with the idea of making my kid's hats(though bucket hats are sometimes called sun hats, they can still be used in the rain too.) They are already having face-to-face classes and I worry for them when they go out after school.

Finally, I had the result that I was hoping for and this is what I remembered I did way back then.

All the images above are taken on September 5, 2022. Now, where is what I did on September 6!

I finally made the body of the hat and it was coming very nicely. I am even very happy with how it turned out. Lots of plans on what color to do next and who to give it to, including what color should I do for me. ooh, Im getting so excited!

Finally, I'm working on teh brim and I wanted it to be as stiff as possible, no one likes it to be falling down on one's face, right?
Ohh, this row is taking me too long to finish and I'm running out pf patience!

Ooh, the last stitch! Haha I know you felt this too!

I tried to put it on but it was way too small. I guess I am giving this to Palaling. She had a fever on Tuesday and her very first class at daycare was on Wednesday. It will be perfect!

So I used the bulb's box to model for me instead! Ohh, that happiness, it's irreplaceable!
Here's a side view.

And a front view.

I guess the brim is stiff enough not to fall on my child's face!

And to stiffen it more, I added a single crochet around for the las row and cut the yarn. I am happy with it.

I used an even smaller hook to keep the tail in and voila1 I love it so much!

Don't I look so happy with my own work?

Just a little later, Because of my happiness,I suppose, I started another hat and I was kind of fast this time. I started it on September 7.

I brought the project home and worked with it while the lids borrowed my phone to watch videos.

In the morning I was able to finish it before going to work. I even took selfies because the hat fits me, and it was even bigger than my eldest daughter's head.

I compared the two hats that I made; they are the same color but the difference cannot be clearly seen.

Here's a fit of a hat I made for myself; I took the pictures at home before leaving for work; I was even on my uniform. I loved the hat so much but unfortunately, I unexpectedly let go; There was a time when my uncle invited us over for their church's thanksgiving and they also invited another people over which we ride with in his vehicle and then after some chatting, they showed appreciation on my hat and we decided to give it to them since rain showers are starting hat time. I hoped when took care of my work. It's sad to let go but I am happy to have helped.

On the tenth of September, my husband told me that he was invited by our friend for her youngest child's 1st birthday and Christening. I never get to see the child in person so I referred to the chart that I had kept and continued my way, too bad I was not able to keep some more pictures when the hat is ready but the child on the last picture is the one who will wear it.

I'm glad to have kept this chart all these years!

Thank you for reading and may you all have a wonderful day. Keep safe!
