Pregnant after a Loss

What do you think? *Animal hats mentioned*

My whole family is really crafty including my mom. My mother is especially good at knitting/crocheting. I asked her to make me some animal hats for the baby and then I realized I want to be able to do it too. We are going to order some patterns off Etsy. I was thinking we could start making them and sell them at craft fairs if they come out good enough. I know it might be dorky but you have to find ways to occupy your weekend while preganant as you all know.I think we could do o.k at craft shows, which we have ton around here. If not I think it could be fun doing it still.  I was just wondering if everyone else loves these hats like I do? Would you acutally buy them? Here is the link for the patterns.

  • I think they are adorable. I have a monkey hat that I bought off pigtails.. I think she made it and it came out adorable.

  • I think these hats are insanely cute.  I hate to knit, so I'd buy one long before I'd make one.  I've also done craft fairs in the past and they're touch and go.  Some are fantastic and some really suck.  Part of the key to a good one is making sure it's a well known one (which also costs more for a table), has a good date and is very well organized.  The rest is luck.

  • I think some of them are pretty cute.

    I probably wouldn't go hunting them down, but if I was at a craft show, I could see myself purchasing one.  I would be far more likely to purchase "holiday" themed hats than "animal hats"... you know, Easter= bunny, St. Pats = something green with a clover, Christmas = holly leaves or reindeer.

    If you really really want to get into it, I would suggest totry a few animal and a few holiday/non animal...just to have a little variety. =)

    They're so cute!  I would buy those!  Note:  I would probably be less likely to buy for a little boy, but would totally do it for a girl.

  • Some of them are cute, when the animal attributes are downplayed (I think the PIP above has too much going on for my tastes).

    But then again, I'm a sucker for the knitted beanies with a big ol' flower or bow attached to the side of it.

    I know a lot of people love them, and it could be a fun hobby, so I say go for it!

  • Thanks for the input ladies! I am just wanting to do it more for fun. I don't plan on getting rich off them. I thought it would be cool to give it a try. 

    JuneBug-that is cute we could try to make it! We are going to try all kinds including plain, animal, ones with bows or flowers and maybe that little booty matching piece as well.

    Hadley-great idea thanks!

    Don't worry I won't be on here asking people to buy my hats either lol.

  • I love them.  I think I am going to buy a couple.

  • Yes, I am about to AW my kid. 

    My best friend crochets hats for us, but if she didn't do it for free for us, I would totally buy them!  Animal hats are AWESOME for pictures.  She also sells them in a kids consignment shop here in town and does pretty decent business!

  • I think animal hats are adorable. I already have a giraffe for my LO- it's really fugly yarn but I love it.  

    Be sure that you are legally allowed to sell anything you make with a pattern you purchase though!!! Just because you made something yourself, doesn't mean you own the copyright- you can get into alot of trouble unless you make up your own patterns.

  • Hadley-I got you girl ?

    That is the cutest, squishiest baby and I love those pictures so much!

    Kateisgreat- good idea. Either way my kid will have a hat for every day.

    We are going to order some patterns this weekend. My mom is creative she might be able to come up with her own after.
