Marley Tam

   I got inspiration to make this tam from watching "Marley", it's a documentary about the King of Reggae, Bob Marley. He was an amazing man. When he passed, there were so many Rastafarians wearing a tam like this one, so I decided to make one and call it the Marley Tam. I know it's very un-original, but obviously that's not what I was going for. You can find it in my online store, PerfectMix Creations.

Jamrock Earrings

  As I was making my latest rasta tam, I started playing with the yarn to see if I could make the flag in different sizes for other accessories. I was trying to come up with a different way of making the "x" with the yellow yarn. On the hat I made it with a single crochet, stitching the two colors together with the yellow. This time I made a whip stitch using a needle. I used a size E crochet hook for the green and black. I came up with these cute earrings. They are a great accessory to go along with the tam.

Jamaican Rasta Tam

   I crocheted this special Jamaican tam for a customer. She wanted it in the colors of the Jamaican flag with the "flag" in the back. She saw a previous hat that I made like this, but she didn't want it to be mesh like the other one. This tam also has a drawstring closure around the crown for a perfect fit. This is how it turned out. I really like it. She is going to wear it at a reggae festival in July. Sounds like fun times, ya mon!

New Rasta Hat

  I whipped up a new rasta hat. It was made with a size L hook and hdc stitches. It ties around the crown for a perfect fit. Just pull and tie. This will be going in my online store for sale.

  How do you like my new model? Her name is Marianna and I got her from the online Goodwill auction. There was only one other person who bid against me so I got her for a really good price. They have so many different items like yarn, jewelry, and antiques.
