  13. I would love to knit the African Flower Slouch. I would use Lidfors, Orchid and Holly in this order from the center out.

  14. African Flower Slouch – I’ve made toys with the African flowers and it’s a fun motif to work with. I make a lot of hats for Halos for Hope and this would be a great design for that. Colors? There’s so many options that would look good but I think I’d start with: Spring Green, Blue Note and Snow Day

  15. I love the African Flower Hat and love the colors in the pic posted … #2101 mochi, #2183 lilacs and #2187 dungaree. It is what first drew me to the pattern. But I tried out the motif with some yarn laying around and it is super easy and fun to do. Now I just need to get some Berroco! I’ve already had several requests from friends to make this hat for them. 🙂

  56. I really don’t want to make a choice as I love both these hats and the colors are in my favorite’s already. Suppose if I had to decide differently then these colors it would be shades of lavenders, and while I like them equally, the winner would be the African Crocheted one. darn…decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

  73. I am tempted to do Kristin’s Hat in something like Nosegay Mix, Orchid, and Purple to donate to a group that collects chemo caps, as I think some girl would love it. Or maybe Navy Blue, Primary Red, and Primary Blue for a boy, because the Comfort yarn is perfect for this type of hat. But if it’s for me, definitely the African Flower hat, possibly in Cracked Pepper, Chana Dal, and Mushroom.
