Style this DIY: Louise Belcher Hat

October 24, 2013 Leave a Comment

Style this DIY: Louise Belcher Hat - Hands Occupied

the diy: Louise Hat from Bob’s Burger’s / 1. vintage Italian ketchup necklace / 2. green, short sleeved dress / 3. burger ring / 4. hamburger bun phone case / 5. ketchup vs. mustard kawaii wristlet / 6. mary jane heels

My most popular Halloween costume ever on this blog is my Louise Belcher Hat from the show Bob’s Burgers. It seemed only fitting to style an outfit to go with my readers’ beloved project, but I decided to change it up a bit and style an outfit for future-Louise to wear in her teens and 20s.

To fully understand my picks for this outfit, you’re going to need to know a little bit about Louise. Her family owns a burger joint and live above it. She rounds out her family’s strange trio of children and adds adorable budding sociopathy to the mix. She’s a schemer and a screamer. Bearing that in mind, the accessories I chose for today’s future-Louise getup nod to her parents’ business in a very Louise kind of way. Hamburger bun phone case? Yes, I see her rocking that alongside her trademark bunny ears for the next 15 years. The kawaii angry condiments clutch, though, is what really seals the deal for me on this look. It’s just like Louise – adorable and angry at the same time!

The first lesson of the Spiral Hill Sweater Vest K The first lesson of the Spiral Hill Sweater Vest Knit Along is now up on the bl0g! First thing’s first: better understanding gauge in intarsia, a.k.a. my most-requested intarsia tutorial topic. 🧶
.
Maybe it isn’t the flashiest or funnest of topics, but knitting your patterns at gauge accomplishes 2 important things for projects like the Spiral Hill Sweater Vest. 1️⃣ Your garment will fit properly. 2️⃣ The intarsia you’ve worked hard to knit won’t look squished like an image in Print Wizard 2000. (Is that software reference too niche? 🖨️)
.
Find the first #spiralhillsweatervest Knit Along lesson at the 🔗 in my profle. 
.
P.S. I’m currently finishing editing a related video for the lesson, which will be live on You2ube later today/tomorrow. I’ll post in Stories when it’s up.👍🏻

This audio was me last summer while secretly desig This audio was me last summer while secretly designing the Spiral Hill Sweater Vest pattern behind the scenes. 😆 I very often design with primary colors, so trying to explain suddenly working with black, white and grey was awkward/kinda funny. 🩶
.
In case you missed it, this is my design from the new book ‘Disney Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas: The Official Knitting Guide to Halloween Town and Christmas Town,’ available now from @insighteditions & @tanisknits. We’re doing a knit along starting very soon, and we’ll be knitting this pattern! I’ve got weekly video tutorials planned for this educationally-focused knit along. This KAL is especially for you if you’re eager to work on your intarsia. 🧶

Full KAL details, yarn quantities & pattern information are available on my bl0g, the 🔗 is where you’d think.

Since there was some interest in stills of my WIPs Since there was some interest in stills of my WIPs closet after this weekend’s quick tutorial, here are few. ✂️ The tutorial is one post back in my feed as a video.
.
As you can see, I didn’t worry about the wire hangers all being perfectly uniform, but it doesn’t matter to me. Also, this closet holds a lot! Despite that, it is already at capacity. Since the hanging bags don’t appear to be recyclable, I want to reuse them as long as possible. Who knows, maybe this will be a way to limit my WIPs? 😅
.
P.s. In the third photo you can see how I use this system to store the original swatches, scraps, yarn ball bands, & notes from a design project all together.
