Crochet Chunky Men's Hat


About a month ago I made myself and my husband matching hats, I got some new Bernat Chunky yarn and wanted to play with it because I'm a giant dork. So hats it was, we needed some anyways. It doesn't get as cold here as most of the rest of Canada, maybe -8 c at the absolute lowest and only at night, still nice to have winter hats though.
Well my husband(Ryan) is obsessed with his, he never takes it off. It's already worn down and looks a million years old because he wears it at work all day. But in all fairness, he looks a million years old to so.....
The originals 

Today Ryan came home and said his boss has been bugging him for a hat like his, and since I'm FUCKING AMAZING
I obliged. I wanted to return some of the blue softee chunky yarn I had bought the day before anyways because it turns out I hate it, oops. So I went and exchanged it for grey(the only good mens colour they had) and got straight to work. I absolutely love this hat, it only takes about 20 minutes to make and it's soft and thick and warm. I will write patterns for women and children sizes at some point as well.
PATTERN

I started this pattern with a magic circle, but if you want, you can just ch 3, connect with a slst and then work into that circle.
With an 7mm hook and  Bernat Chunky or Bernat Softee Chunky create magic circle
ROW 1. 12DC into MC
ROW 2. Ch 2(this is not considered a stitch here or throughout) then do 2DC into same stitch and each stitch around, connect to CH 2 with slst
ROW 3. CH 2, 2 DC into same stitch, 1 DC in next stitch around, join with slst.
ROW 4. CH 2, 1 DC into first 2 stitches, 2 DC into the next one, around. Join with slst.
ROW 5-8 chain 2, 1 DC into each around, join with slst.
ROW 9 And 10. CH 3, 2 FPDC into next 2 stitches, 1 BPDC into next 1 stitch, repeat around, join with slst.
ROW 11. SC around, join with slst, fasten off and weave in ends.
ROW 12. Jk you're done
If you want to make this a boys size hat, just do 10 DC into the magic circle instead of 12 and then just follow the rest of the pattern exactly the same.
Enjoy.

Crochet pussy hat

Wow, I can't believe I've managed to get anything done in the last few days. After experiencing a major depressive meltdown, panic attacks and developing a cold, I've been pretty much out of comish. But I somehow managed to create an extremely simple pattern for a pussy hat. So far I've had one order for plain pink, two for pink and red, one for black and grey and one pure black. I'm still not functioning quite yet, and I'm drinking too much. Being crazy is hard when you're still sane enough to know you're crazy. I honestly can't believe I survived this as a child, it's a living hell. I'm very lucky to have my hilarious family and husband. Yeah somebody actually married this crazy bitch. I wouldn't get through this without vulgar humour constantly being thrown at me. So this is one thing I still managed to do, and like all my patterns, it's deceptively simple. Pattern You will need 8mm crochet hook ...

Mental illness makes everything harder

    Ryan is gone. Well, only for two weeks but I've never been away from him for that long, and he's so far away. I know it sounds silly and dramatic but I feel like my heart is broken right now. I can't help how I feel and I'd much rather not feel this way, but it just came on suddenly and I'm having to deal with it. It feels just like heartbreak, I can't stop crying or vomiting, I'm Just in a ball on the floor. I feel like I'm dying, it's very uncomfortable and awful feeling.      I chose to stay with my mom while he's gone, but now I just want to go home. I want him to turn around and come take me home and stay with me. I don't know why I feel like this, I'm aware that it's irrational but I still feel it. Oh the joys of mental illness, it makes everything so much harder. I know a normal person would be a bit sad, but they wouldn't feel this level of raw emotion over something so small. I wish I could sleep, I'm so tired. ...
