/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

Yep, it’s that time of the year again!  I was recently in Spirit Halloween with my daughter and we came across a quite large Nightmare Before Christmas section.  My daughter’s favorite movie of all time is Nightmare Before Christmas.  I had already made her a Jack Skellington Beanie so when we saw this Oogie Boogie beanie I just knew I needed to create a pattern for it.  She doesn’t know about it yet but I plan on giving it to her for her birthday right before Halloween.  I hope you all enjoy making your very own Oogie Boogie Crochet Beanie for yourself or even a little goblin that you know.

Now on to the Supplies that you will need for this Oogie Boogie Crochet Beanie:

Yarn:  #4 worsted weight yarn.  I used red heart super saver in the colors Spring Green and Black.  You will need 1 skein of each. You can purchase both of these yarns in the highlighted links.

Crochet Hook:  5mm for the beanie and 4mm for the eyes and mouth. I have really been loving the crochet hooks with the rubber handles laterly. I love the way they fin in my hand while I’m crocheting. You can purchase bothe of the hooks that you will need in the highlighted links.

Yarn Needle:  Any yarn needle that you have on hand is fine.  I like using metal yarn needles because I feel like they weave through the yarn easier than the plastic ones. You can purchase a multi pack of yarn needles in the highlighted link.

Craft Scissors:  Any pair of scissors that you have on hand will work.  I use the smaller 4 inch craft scissors because they tuck away in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase a pair in the highlighted link.

Note:  The CH 2 and CH 1 does not count as a stitch.

Now, let’s get started on this Oogie Boogie Crochet Beanie

For the Oogie Boogie Beanie grab your spring green yarn and your 5mm crochet hook.

Round 1:  Create a magic circle, place 10 HDC (half double crochet) inside the magic circle.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the very first HDC and pull your yarn tail tight to close up the circle.  At the end of round 1 you should have 10 HDC.  

Round 2:  CH (chain) 2, place 2 DC (double crochet) in the CH 2 space, next place 2 DC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC.  At the end of round 2 you should have 20 stitches.

Round 3:  CH 2, DC in the CH 2 space, now place 2 DC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 DC in the first stitch and 2 DC in the next stitch* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first DC.  at the end of round 3 you should have 30 stitches.

Round 4:  CH 2, place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, DC in the next 2 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first, 1 DC in the next 2 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the tip of the first DC.  at the end of round 4 you should have a total of 40 stitches.

Round 5:  CH 2, place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, now DC in the next 3 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first stitch, 1 DC in the next 3 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.  At the end of round 5 you should have a total of 50 stitches.

Round 6:  CH 2,  place 2 DC in the CH 2 space, now place 1 dc in each of the next 4 stitches.  Repeat the pattern of *2 DC in the first stitch, 1 DC in each of the next 4 stitches* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.  At the end of round 6 you should have 60 stitches.

Rounds 7-21:  DC in the CH 2 space and in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first DC.   At the end of each round you should still have a total of 60 stitches.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.  Note:  If your head is on the smaller side you will not want to do 21 rounds.  I like to put the beanie on my head from time to time to make sure the length is okay.  If this beanie is for a person with a larger head 21 rows will be just fine.

Row 19:  SC2TOG the only 2 remaining stitches.  Fasten off and leave a yarn tail long enough to attach the mouth to your Oogie Boogie beanie.  

Attaching the eyes and mouth to the Oogie Boogie Beanie.  

Thread your yarn needle with your yarn tail.  Place your eyes where you would like them to sit on your beanie.  I place mine with the tops of the eyes at the bottom of round 5.  Making sure you hold your eye in place the entire time so it does not go on crooked, stitch your eyes to the first layer of your Oogie Boogie Beanie.   Do this all the way around the edge of the eye.  When you get back to where you started, weave your remaining yarn tail into the back of the beanie.  Do the same thing with your other eye and with the mouth.  

Adding the eyebrows and the lines under the eyes:

With a long piece of yarn threaded on your yarn needle, insert your yarn needle from under the hat through the front.  I started at the bottom of row 8 and stitched a long line up to the end of row 5 at a slight angle.  I then poked my yarn needle from the inside of the beanie at the middle of row 5 of the beanie and the top of the eye, I then stitched a long line back down to where the last stitch ended at the end of row 5.  I then went over these lines one more time to make it stand out a little more.  Push your needle to the inside of the hat and weave in your yarn tails and clip your yarn.

Now for adding the lines under the eyes, start at row 10  and place your lines under your eyes to your liking.  I placed mine about halfway along the bottom portion of the eye.  I just went back and forth over the line 2 times so it would stand out.  Weave your yarn tails in the underside of the beanie and clip your yarn.

Adding the stitching to the mouth:

With a long piece of black yarn, create stitches along the entire outside edge of the mouth.  Again you will want to go over them 2 times so the lines stand out.  Weave your yarn tails in and clip your yarn.

If you love this Oogie Boogie Beanie you will love the Jack Skellington Beanie as well. Why not make the matching set for your kiddos or you and your friends or spouse.

I hope you all enjoy making this Oogie Boogie Beanie as much as I did. Make sure you check me out on social media and subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out on any of my fun tutorials. Happy crocheting from the Montana White’s!

Review of Annie’s Caring Crochet Kit: Fun for a Cause

/ Montana Crochet Creations / Leave a comment

Hi Everyone! It’s been a while. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, and New Year. We had a ton happen over the last few months. We found out that we were going to be grandparents, YAY!!!, we moved into a new place, our pregnant daughter and her husband moved back, and our youngest daughter moved back as well. Needless to say January was an extremely crazy month. Not to mention all of the insane weather that we’ve been having, a few weeks ago it was back down to -30 again. It looks like next week is going to be below zero again. I guess the groundhog was right and it looks like we will have at least another 6 weeks of winter here in Montana. In reality we will probably still have another 3 months or so.

The Promoter of Annie’s Kit Club reached out to me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be interested in doing reviews on their products. Of course I said yes. Annie’s Kit Club had me make a list of items I would like to review and they sent me this one, the Annie’s Caring Crochet Kit. I absolutely loved this kit when it arrived and I love the fact that the Annie’s Caring Crochet Kit products you make goes to cancer patients in need all over the country.

<a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=751045&m=71249&u=3175406&afftrack=”>Annie’s Kit ClubsAnnie’s Caring Crochet Kit came with a detailed pattern that was extremely easy to follow and two different styles of hats to make. The one shown came with a scarf, I thought that it added a nice touch. The yarn itself was extremely soft and seemed to be of super high quality. I was worried in the beginning that it was going to be hard to work with because it was so soft, but that was not the case. It was a nice beginner friendly pattern to follow along with. The good thing about the Annies Caring Crochet Kit is that you will get a new kit every month.

I don’t know about your area but our hospital has programs where you can make beanies for cancer patients, beanies for newborn babies, and even receiving blankets for the newborns. I think that it’s a fun way to get involved in the community.

They wanted me to let you know that you would get 50% off of your first month on any of their kits if you sign up in the highlighted link above. So why not go ahead and sign up. If you are like me and live in a cold area It will give you something fun to do.

I did a YouTube video review for the Annies Caring Crochet Kit and you can watch it down below if you prefer.

Stay tuned as I’m going to be posting some really fun projects coming up here on my blog and my YouTube Channel, @montanacrochetcreations, as well. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out this fun crochet Chicken Drink Coaster, it’s a simple pattern and will work up in no time at all! I love you all so very much and I will see you in my next blog post!

Make Your Own Christmas Crochet Hat

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 6 Comments

Hello Everyone! Today’s blog brings you a Crochet Hat pattern that’s completely Christmas inspired. As you all know I live in Montana and it’s getting cold here. You may also know that I LOVE Christmas. I wanted a Crochet Hat that I could wear the entire month of December. I don’t always have time to do my hair so I wanted something festive that I could just throw on when I’m out running errands. I absolutely love the color variations that I chose for this cute Crochet Hat. It reminded me of candy cane stripes.

This Crochet Hat turned out just the way I wanted it to. I’ve worn it multiple times and it’s gotten a ton of compliments.

I actually had extra left over from previous projects. <a href=”http://<a href=”https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1026079&u=3175406&m=72611&urllink=&afftrack=”>Lion Brand Yarn Lion Brand Yarns is also another fantastic alternative to Red Heart.

Craft Scissors: Any type of scissors will work for this project. I love the smaller craft scissors because I can easily fit them in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase a pair in the highlighted link.

Pom Pom Maker: You do not have to use a pom pom maker. You can make the pom pom’s the old fashion way by winding the yarn around a piece of cardboard or around your hand. I love the pom pom makers because they create consistent and beautiful pom pom’s.

Now, Let’s Talk Abbreviations

Stitches you will need to know: CH (chain), HDC (half double crochet), HDC2TOG (half double crochet 2 stitches together), SLST (slip stitch), BLO (crochet in the back loop only)

Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on your hook. Disclaimer: This page contains affiliate links in which I earn a very small percentage at no additional cost to you.

Closing up the hat.

Take your yarn needle and tread your green yarn tail. Weave your yarn needle in and out of each stitch opening along the top, pulling the yarn tail tight as you go. Once the top is closed off weave your yarn back and forth to fully secure the opening. Knot off your yarn and weave in your yarn tail.

Festive Crochet Turkey Hat Pattern for November

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 1 Comment

Happy November Everyone! I can’t believe it’s already November! Just like all of you, I have no idea where the year has gone. Today’s post brings me to this really cute Crochet Hat Pattern requested by a friend. I think it’s perfect for the entire month of November.

My dear friend wanted something festive that she could wear the entire month. She didn’t say what, so I let my creativity flow and created this really cute Crochet Turkey Hat for her. It’s not a normal fall here in Montana as the days are still in the 50’s but it’s still in the teens and low 20’s of the morning. Most of us Montanans don’t even bother putting on a coat or hat but sometimes we feel like being festive.

I took to my dwindling yarn stash once again and found the perfect colors for this hat. Not to self, I need to stock up on brown and white. I used every last scrap I had to create this Crochet Hat. I hope you enjoy making this hat as much as I did. Please leave comments and pictures below, I’d love to see your finished projects.

Disclaimer: I work very hard on these patterns. Feel free to sell your finished projects. Please do not sell this pattern as your own. If you do sell your projects please link back to this page.

At the end pull the yarn tight to close the chain into a ball. Clip your yarn and secure the two tails with a knot. This is what you will use to attach the pom pom to your hat.

Assembly: Attach your two eyes to the hat. I like to use a whip stitch to attach the eyes. Make sure to place them as close together as possible. I think it looks cute with the eyes touching each other. Weave in your ends. Now grab your beak. Place just below the eyes and attach with a whip stitch to the crochet hat, weave in your ends. Next, place your waddle just above the beak and below the eyes. Attach to the crochet hat with a whip stitch. Weave in your tails. Lastly, pull your two yarn tails from the pom pom through the very top of the hat. Secure with a knot and weave in your ends. Grab your hot glue gun and preheat. Glue your googly eyes to the middle of the white eyes and you are done!

Easy Crochet Hat Pattern for Winter

/ Montana Crochet Creations / 4 Comments

It was a beautiful week here in Montana. I would guess that this weekend is probably going to be one of the last nice weekends before it starts to get cold. It’s forecasted to be in the 70’s this weekend and down to the high 40’s next weekend. We had a few stunning days so I decided to work on this crochet pattern while sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. After all, I do need a new crochet hat for winter. The “To the Peak” Crochet Hat is uniques in its own way. Not only do the puff style stitches create an ultra soft feel and help hold the hats shape, it has a brim as well. The two decorative buttons on the side of the hat helps to create the brim and gives it a nice finishing touch.

This hat was made with a super soft wool blend yarn for that extra thick feel. Add any style of buttons to the side to complete the look.

Supplies and Materials Needed:

Yarn: Any #4 Worsted Weight yarn will work. I used Red Heart Super Saver in White. You can purchase it in the highlighted link.

Buttons: 2 buttons of any size, just depends on how you want them to look. They are for decoration only.

Crochet Hook: Any crochet hooks that you have on hand will work. I love the crochet hooks from Lion Brand and also Furls Crochet. They are both a very dependable brand and fit comfortably in your hands while crocheting. You can purchase them in the highlighted links.

Yarn needle: I really like the metal yarn needles. I feel like they weave through the yarn better than the plastic ones. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.

Craft Scissors: You can use any pair of scissors that you have on hand. I really love the small craft scissors because the fit easily in my crochet hook bag. You can purchase them through the highlighted link.

Hat Size:

Women’s One size fits most.

Gauge:

14 Single Crochet and 17 rows equal 4″

Abbreviations:

BEG (beginning), CH (chain), DC (double crochet), DCFP (double crochet front post *Yarn over and insert hook from front to back around the post to the next stitch*). You can watch a video on how to do a front post double crochet Here!, REM (remaining), REP (repeat), RNDS (round/rounds), SC (single crochet), SL ST (slip stitch), SP (spaces), STS (stitch), YOH (yarn over hook)
