I usually am like everyone else and run to the store to get my boys there costumes for Halloween. Last year my 5 yr old was a ninja and my 20 month old was a lion. I had just started really sewing at this time last year. I really didn't have the time to make them anything.
I decided early this year I wasn't wasting money this year. I wanted to make what I could for them for Halloween this year. I started looking a few months ago for something that I could make and finish within a couple of weeks. Well my search ended when I picked up the crochet hooks again! Both my boys love hats. They will wear whatever hat they can find laying around the house. I found the cutest pattern for crocheted Thing 1 and Thing 2 hats. These suit my boys to a T! And it included a pattern for a striped hat for me, which was a plus if I have the time to make 3 hats over the next couple of weeks.
My plan is to make the boys hats, go buy red sweats for both of them and they will have a costume. An added benefit is they can wear the sweats and hats over and over! Simple for me and I don't feel as though I wasted my money. As soon as they are finished I will post some pictures!
