Crocheted Hats I created and Spiral Scarf

These are some baby bonnets that I crocheted from experimenting without a pattern.  I love the way they came out and I even got a special request for the blue and white one for a baby boy. I will tell you how I did it.

I used simply soft brand yarn that has a sheen to it and then Bernet yarn for the flower and green band.

I started with a 5 crochet chain ring. 2nd row I did 2 single crochet in each chain around.  Then after joining, did 3 rows of double crochet increasing a stitch in the top of every other previous double stitch until the size I thought was sufficient for the top of the hat.  
   Then I did a row of shell stitch (single crochet,3 double crochet, 1 single crochet, all in one chain stitch of last row.  Skip a stitch and repeat.  Next, I did another row of double crochet using the base of each shell stitch and joined.  I added 5 double crochet rows using the green for the 4th row.  When the 5th row was completed I did a finishing row of shell stitch again to frame the face.  I then crocheted the little flower and sewed to the center of the bonnet.  Ribbons could be added on either side.

BOY BONNET 

To finish this one, I crocheted a circle of 3 rows single crochet and added a little embroidered Duck (from craft store) in the middle.

   I also finished another beautiful lacy Sashay yarn scarf in shades of orange, rust and red.

And here are my hearts as I developed them with materials I had on hand. (Felt, pearls, wooden bird buttons, jewels, a lady's head, tiny bird feathers and the sayings that I typed, printed and cut out with scalloped craft scissors.  I may still add a blanket stitch around the heart edges after all the glue is dry :0)
