Balanced Rock Hat Crochet Pattern

balanced rock hat
Last month my husband had a business trip to Colorado Springs, and he asked me if I would like to go with him. I quickly googled “local yarn shop Colorado Springs” and found Ewe & Me Yarn Boutique, so of course I decided to go with him.
On our first day, it was cold with a light snow falling. I’m a Texas girl, and I don’t enjoy the cold weather! The next day was still cold but a beautiful sunny day, so I got out to explore.
Garden of the Gods
The desk clerk suggested that I visit Garden of the Gods. I had visited it on a family trip as a teenager, but my memories were vague.
The three main features of the park are Steamboat Rock, the Three Graces, and Balanced Rock. They were formed by sedimentary beds of red, pink and white sandstone and limestone that were deposited horizontally but have now been tilted vertically by the mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak. The following Pleistocene Ice Age resulted in erosion and glaciation of the rock, creating the present rock formations. Mother Nature is truly amazing!!
Next stop – Ewe & Me, A Yarn Boutique on Garden of the Gods Road. It’s a fiber artist paradise! So many beautiful colors and textures! This shop has everything a crocheter or knitter could ever want. I explained that I was looking for a locally made yarn, and I was ushered to a wall of beautiful hand-dyed Aran yarn by Haus of Ewe. What luck! There’s a reddish-brown colorway called Balanced Rock. I had to have it! My only regret is that I only brought one suitcase, so I had to leave behind so many of the beautiful colorways.
After we got back home, I started playing with the yarn to find out what shape it wanted to take. I’m very pleased with the results. I hope you will be too. Check out the All About Fall Blog Hop for the Balanced Rock Beanie pattern free for 24 hours.

From baby blankets to throws to huge blankets, this bundle has every pattern you could ever need for this Blanket Prep Season.

This is the season where I can crochet a blanket and use it to keep me warm in the evenings while I work on it.

frog nap buddyIf you have a toddler in your life, the bundle includes my Frog Nap Buddy Crochet Pattern.

Froggy extends his tongue to catch a fly. Guess what he caught? A toddler at naptime! The frog’s tongue extends to become a toddler blanket, then rolls back up and zips into the frog to be a friendly frog plush toy the rest of the day. Your little one will love taking this frog everywhere they go. Also a great idea for back to school for kindergarten. Easy crochet pattern with YouTube tutorial links.

See it in action here: https://youtube.com/shorts/3AwJCxKLHUM

Finished blanket measures approximately 36″ long by 32” wide. When blanket is rolled up inside, the

frog measures approximately 16” long by 16” wide.
