My boyfriend wanted me to make him a hat and he wanted it to be "a hideous orange color" so I used this Caron Simply Soft in Mango. I added a roll up brim in Vanna's Choice in Olive and it tuned out looking a little like a pumpkin! It will be great for Halloween.

That is a neat hat - and quite a color! It reminds me of the safety orange vests. He will definitely be visible! I really like the design. Is the pattern available somewhere?

Thanks! The pattern I used was for a little boy's hat and I just made a longer starting chain and kept repeating the pattern until it fit. Then I added the brim and put a dot on top to cover the hole that was left. Here is the pattern: Crocheted Boy's Hat (http://www.coatsandclark.com/Crafts/Crochet/Projects/BabyChild/WM0304+Boys+Crocheted+Hat.htm)

I like it! One man's "hideous" is another man's treasure. You did a great job, too.

You BF needs to meet my son. He picked out RH Kids very bright orange for a hat. It was a SOLID color orange. He paired it with an equally bright Orange shirt and his mickey mouse yellow sneakes! I told him he looked like a traffic cone! The tour guide commented that "they are not going to lose you in a crowd"!

But, that is my son, just being his crazy little self!

Hahaha, a traffic cone! That is great! I had originally bought that orange to make feet for a couple of tree frogs I made. So I'm glad he chose it because I had a ton left and I never would have known what to make with it.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it!
