Mad QUEEN of Hearts BEER CAN Party Crown!  Crochet Hat Tutorial Mad Queen of Hearts Beer Can Party Crown! Crochet Hat Tutorial I Love a Crochet Design Challenge I’ve had some requests for a Beer Can Hat in a Mad Hatter style , which I am working on. But I knew I wanted to make a Crown in this shape as well, a proper giant crown the regal queen that I am. Epic! I know, isn’t it??  I tried to show you some of my design process in this one. But I ended up remaking the whole thing 3 times so… there will be a few Design Lessons from the Future and notes about some of the changes I made on my journey.  I definitely did figure some tricks out along the way, dude there is some serious crochet engineering  going on in some of my hats. Ha! My builder hubs was impressed even. I love the challenge! So fun.

This hat makes a statement!  I recently perfected my extra tall can stacking crochet techniques while making a triple tall hat for my husband's birthday.

Ha.   Two Levels of Reg or Tall Cans Here I decided to use 2 levels of regular size cans, just for ease of fitting on my lap I guess. Tall cans are just as easy to assemble and would be extra awesome. I will also show you how to add more levels if you are feeling daring. When finished, the levels are surpri

Best Beer Can Bucket Hat Pattern - Crochet Party Hat Tutorial The Best Beer Can Bucket Hat Crochet Tutorial One Beer Can Bucket Hat from Start to Finish Yep the hits keep on coming! Right after I posted my big 3 part Beer Can Hat tutorial , I realized I needed a more compact version. So I cut them up into a Down & Dirty Just the Basics tutorial , which has become my most popular by far. Great!  But that leads me to believe I need another basic hat video, not all chopped up, but the same hat from start to finish. I know, seems obvious to the non supernerd, but whatever. I'm doing it now!! okay??  What I did for this new improved Beer Can Bucket Hat, was to redesign the Bucket Hat from the prev basic tutorials:  We'll use the same basic 2 round label from Part 1 , shape the top like the Fez in Part 2 , and create a little bit stiffer Bucket brim than the one in Part 3 .  Just a superior Beer Can Bucket Hat design IMO.  I also added a few crochet tips for you, and tried to ke

  Crochet BEER CAN Rock Star Party Fez!  Easy 3-in-1 Hat Tutorial - Part 2 Ultimate Beer Can Party Hat Tutorial Yay!! I am rolling along with these new tutorials and having a blast. As I was finishing up the last one, it occurred to me that I was not very clear about something. That is, how do I put this?   The deeper purpose of crocheting beer can hats.   See, I have a vision.  When I started making beer can hats, it was as kind of an art nerd party trick. I was an art student who was really into crochet, like I incorporated it into as many of my art classes as I could.  I was also writing my own hat patterns, and I loved the 70s crafts overall. So when I saw a pic somewhere of the 70s beer can hats, it was a no brainer.  I started taking beers to parties, and when the cans were empty, I'd spend the rest of the party crocheting a fabulous host gift. The reactions I would get were always of wonder and amazement. From art students and old grandmas alike! Non crocheters ar

Well I did it. I set out to make myself a Rockstar Tiara for my birthday and I succeeded. I had plenty of fun figuring it out... but it was by no means a simple little project. I did take plenty of photos and notes and will do my best to pass on my tiara knowledge in some understandable way. I'll apologize right now for using black yarn again. Not the easiest to see, but it really was the best color for the project. Materials: 3 tall Rockstar cans (I used the one above for my sample) 3 oz worsted weight yarn H or I crochet hook  utility scissors paper hole punch 60 Large pony beads yarn needle Cut out each star as shown, leaving a bout 1/2" border and rounding the tips. You'll notice one corner of the star hits the edge of the can, so you can't add a border there. We'll address this later to make the stars look symmetrical, for now just round the corner as shown in the photo. Cut out the vertical Rockstar word from 2 of the cans as shown. Le
