So I am all for the weird holidays! Drink your water day, make your bed day, wear mascara day (not sure if any of these are actually real holidays)
Well today is no different. It's September 15th which means It's Make a hat day!! This can be a fun hat for kids, a serious hat, a paper hat or even a service project hat.
A few months ago during the lockdown I was looking for something to do to combat boredom and to also be of service. I found a local organization that provides crochet or knit hats and blankets to preemies, so I followed their directions and ended up crocheting 80 little preemie hats!! It was such a great experience for me to be able to use my skills and also help the little babies who need the extra layers. I ended up donating these to Preemies of the Carolinas, (it was a project I had found through justserve.org.)
SO are we ready to make a hat?? I have rounded up a few cool hat making tutorials for your hat making pleasure!
we will start of easy with the ubiquitous newspaper hat!! I remember back in the day when we would do a play at school about George Washington or Paul Revere etc, we would make the hats out of newpaper, then pain and decorate. Easy peasy.

Most people think that if you can crochet then you can knit. I have found this to be a patently false rumor!! I am not going to lie and say that I can knit...because I cant. I am a very basic beginner, and my hands are clumsy and I am all thumbs...BUT I can loom knit! This was the greatest invention. If you can wrap yarn around pegs, you can knit a hat!
