Fashion & Wearables Completed Projects

I had a bunch of the yarn I use to make fish hats, so I had to make some!

Pattern: Crochet Fish Hat (Ravelry link)
Hook: J (6.0 mm)
Yarn: Lion Brand Mandala yarn held double (various colorways), & worsted weight acrylic for the eyes

I started these at the end of January, worked on them during the 2025 February Thing-A-Day Craftalong, and finally finished them up this month!

For each hat, I held 2 strands of the Mandala yarn together. If I was using 2 of the same yarn, I’d start at different points in the color repeat so the colors didn’t match. :slight_smile:

For the lips, instead of turning at the end of every row, I crocheted every other row left-handed so they look more like the rest of the hat.

Some in-progress pictures:

You’re a wizard! Just… what?

Nearly impossible to decide on a fave, each is magnificent. I do love a rainbow but that Chimera + Warlock number is super terrific.

Also, I’m happily a weirdo! :arrow_down: :laughing:

Those are so awesome. Makes me wish I was a kid again so I could wear one without looking like a weirdo.

Thank you everyone! :grin:

@gozer - If I join STS, there will be fish hats! I’ll have to see how the year goes - everything is too chaotic right now to know yet.

As the proud owner (and fairly regular wearer) of one of these amazing fish hats, I’m not sure we’ll be able to get along. :rofl:

Oh my goodness! I love these! I have some donated yarn in my classroom (for crochet club) and I’m going to have to dig through to see if I have some mandala (or similar) yarn.

I don’t know if I can crochet left handed, though, for the lips :smile:
