Aja's mom wants me to make a version of this for Aja 😂

On my to-knit/crochet list. Request from Alex

Aja's a fan of Norse Mythology, so I made her this little amigurumi. Making tiny things is kind of a pain in the ass because of all the little bits and pieces and small amounts of yarn of different colors you need. (^_^'). Still. It was worth it because I think it came out well

Aja showed me this hat she saw on...tiktok? IG? somewhere, and asked if I could make her one. SO I DID. Original crocheter is itslewababy on IG.

I don’t crochet very often, but this was a very easy pattern. Then afterwards I made one for myself...and then for other people. Only downside was that I had to buy a set of giant ass crochet hooks. The pack I got had sizes 25/20/15mm (Handmade Beach Wood Crochet Hooks). I just laughed when they arrived because they seemed comically large.

The pattern comes from Itslewababy and she posts the pattern for free on youtube here:

Side note: this video is way easier to follow than itslewababy’s earlier videos for this hat...like seriously, I was jealous when I was sharing this video with other people because it was difficult to follow the first video I saw of hers vs this one. (^_^’). I am still grateful for the share nonetheless. 

So this yellowy-orangey one was the requested - very light, bulky yarn (I say light because the later ones are heavy af)

The heavy Chelly hats are below. Aja wanted a light hat, but I saw the pattern and wanted a big fuzzy hat:

I don't crochet much, but the tension when I do is usually too tight, so that worked out for this bag I wanted to be able to stand on it's own and hold shape. :)
