This hat took me far longer than it ought to have taken. But I am still pleased with the results. And sadly, I have put my crochet hook down for a bit because every time I crochet I seem to aggravate the knot behind my left shoulder. I've tried my tips and tricks. And you can find them here! But for some reason that knot is relentless. My hands, while they do get fatigued after long use, were fine. This time it was just the dumb knot.
If you have any tips or tricks please leave them in the comment section below. Do you use ergonomic crochet hooks? Let me know what ones and if you think they help. There's also a posture corrector that I keep seeing online and I'm curious if that could help. It looks like the thing my son wore when he broke his collar bone. Has anyone used one of those to correct posture while crocheting?
Anyway, here are some pictures of the hat on my head (with extremely poor lighting!). It is a simple beanie and should work up quickly if you don't take a thousand breaks. Do you like the little pompom I put on top? I hesitated about that, but in the end decided to go with it. How about the flower? In the future I'll have to include instructions how to make that simple creation. It's super easy and very fast.
Here is a post with a link to directions on how to make this simple crochet beanie. For this hat I used a J-hook, but I'm sure you can work with many other sizes depending on the thickness of your yarn.
