Heartless and Safety Cones

I had a bit of time on my hands and well I know I said a while ago that I would try and fix Rain Proof Safety Cones hat and guess what? I did.

Here is the new and improved rain hat. I know it still isn't bright yellow but I will have to live with that because I'm sure I can't reproduce this hat exactly the same again. I like snow proof's hat did not write down the pattern. Very unlike me but I did do it anyways. However snow proof hat would probably be alot easier to replicate, and there for I may have to make hats for many other guys in different colours.

 As for the rest of the title of this post I finally got my butt into gear and made a heartless that I have been planning to make since seeing the picture of a crocheted one on deviant art.

 

I based this guy off of the picture of the other person's Heartless Shadow but seeing as there was no instructions I went by trial and error. I also used a picture from the game to help, you have no idea how hard it is to look up a good picture of a Heartless Shadow. I got tons of hits of google but most were the other types of Heartless from the game Kingdom of Hearts and therefore not helpful in the least. But I think I did a pretty good job. And Yes this time I did write down the pattern. Maybe later I will post it. I haven't decided yet if I will sell my patterns or give them away free on here. I bit to consider. The heart however in the image is made from a pattern I found on the net, actually the same one the guy, previously mentioned, made his heart from. And lastly I used a different type of yarn to make the eyes, and therefore if you try and make this patter by look or if I post the patter the eyes are just mentioned as yellow balls. You can make them any way you would like. I personally used a 2mm hook with thread for bracelets and

After making Snow Proof Safety Cone's hat my brother had mentioned it looked like a "Jane" hat. And actually has requested I make him one (a hat not a safety cone hat, but real size) for him. Who knows when this will come along, but since then I have been looking up patterns so I can start working on this. At first I was going to make one for my bat but couldn't figure out how to make it go over his ears and then the thought struck me when I found a different yellow from that same bracelet thread. I should make one for my "Heartless", you know make the bad guy look so much cuter. Here is the results:

Now this hat could probably be duplicated but would never turn out the same. I again used different yarn types, this time 3 different ones, the bracelet thread, a bulky washcloth type and my favourite "Red Heart Soft Touch". Now not only did I use different yarns I used 2 different needles. I have faith though that I could make something the replicates or looks better then this hat one day.

I hope you enjoy the geeky nerdness in me this week, and the Jane Cobb hat. To come: a chocobo.
