Drumroll, please....

....I'm almost ready to open my Etsy shop!

But before I list all these, I'm going to give you all "first dibs." Check out the photos and prices below. These will all be listed on Etsy in another day or two, but until then, if you want any of them, just...

• Comment here, "reserving" the hat(s) that you want, AND
• Email me at cbethblog@gmail.com so that I have your contact info.

Note that I have comment moderation turned on, so on the off chance that two people request the same item before I've moderated comments, the first person will get it. I'll still handle these sales through Etsy, but instead of listing "your" hat for general sale, I'll create a custom listing for you so no one else can snatch up the hat you request.

I'll be taking custom orders too, so if you see any of these that you like, and you want one in a different color or size--or if you have another pattern in mind altogether--let me know! And even if you don't plan to purchase, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Ready? Here's my stock! (Click photos to see larger versions.)

1. Red Button Hat (from the Durango + Robin's Egg pattern on Simply Beans)
One size fits most women, diameter approx. 19", 45 cm (meant to stretch)

2. Green Poster Girl Hat (designed by C. Beth!)
One size fits most women, diameter approx. 19", 45 cm (meant to stretch)

(Color is more accurate on first two photos. Also, note that this hat is meant to stretch; when unstretched it doesn't look right.)

3. Light Purple Butterfly Hat (from the Olivia's Butterfly pattern on Vallie's Kids blog)
Fits my 4 year old with PLENTY of stretching room, should fit most younger grade school-aged girls. Diameter approx. 17.5", 45 cm.

4. Teal Butterfly Hat (from the Olivia's Butterfly pattern on Vallie's Kids blog)
Fits 4 year old partially stretched, probably would fit most girls age 3 through 6ish. 16.75", 43 cm.

5. Beige & White Beary Adorable Hat (from the Beary Adorable pattern on Army of Owls)
Fits my 2-year-old and my 4-year-old. Body of hat is crocheted with two strands of yarn, so it's extra-thick and doesn't have as much "stretchibility" as other hats. Fits 2T-4T, possibly 5T too. Approx. 17.5", 45 cm.

6. Pink Diamond Baby Hat (designed by C. Beth!)
Should fit most babies from the ages of 3-9 months. Diameter approx. 13.75", 35 cm.

7. Teal Ruffled Beret (designed by C. Beth!)
Fits 4 year old partially stretched, probably would fit most girls age 3 through 5ish. 16.75", 43 cm.
$7.50 This hat is a prototype and isn't perfect. The ruffles on bottom aren't as even as I'd like. It's still adorable, but I've listed it at a low price because the craftsmanship doesn't quite meet my full-price standard!

8. Brown and Blue Ripples & Waves Hat (designed by C. Beth!)
One size fits most women, diameter approx. 19", 45 cm (meant to stretch)

Two options available--see both photos. I wasn't sure whether I liked it best with the first border or the second. If the buyer prefers the first border, I'll take out the horizontal stitches. I think they'll come out fine, but if it messes up the hat, I'll happily make another for the buyer.
