The Sunburst Slouch Pattern now available for purchase on Etsy, Craftsy and Ravelry

JMO Creations new pattern The Sunburst Slouch is now available for purchase on Etsy!!!!

When I made this slouch hat I was outside in the garden and the sun was shining. Well the sun and the color of the yarn speaks for itself. I wanted a new slouch hat for myself and family that would look great on any head.

I love how breezy this hat is. Just staring at it makes you think you are staring right at the sun. The little optional brim just gives it that little extra shade on a really bright day.

This hat uses bulky yarn but can also be made using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn. It is super easy to make bigger by just adding increase rows.

I am pleased to annouce that the pattern is now available for purchase on Etsy!

New Pattern Available The Bopper Topper

JMO Creations new pattern now available on Etsy!!!!

My new pattern The Bopper Topper is now available on Etsy.

The Craftsy and Ravelry links will be available shortly.

A little info on my new pattern.

Have you every watched an old movie from the 40s or 50s and just fell in love with the fashion?
That's what I did and it inspired me to come up with this pretty baby.
Hats from that era were usually made in felt, knit or crochet. I had to have one of my own.

This cap frames the face perfectly and look so elegant on. I think it is the perfect boating cap or cap for those awesome themed parties everyone seems to love.

This cap can be made in Adult sizes small to large and can be made with acrylic or cotton yarn.

This hat has two different styles as well. One style with a brim and one style without the brim.

(The flower pattern I used for the cap is a free tutorial by Bobwilson123 and the link can be found on the pattern)

I hope you enjoy this cap as much as I did making it.
