A comfortable winter hat, sized child to adult, in eye-catching V-stitch and cosy, soft yarn is the new addition to the popular Vivid Winter Headwear Collection.
The ribbing keeps the chill winds out while the flexibility of the V stitch ensures a comfortable fit and soft textured beret with a crisp edging allowing it to be adjusted easily to a style that suits each wearer.
You don’t have to choose brightly coloured yarn although it’s definitely great for showing off the pattern; subtle greys or sand toned yarns would look great too and you could even add a decorative button, bow, flower or tassel, e.g. free Crochet Flower Garland pattern
The V-stitch is relaxing and quick to work, making this a great choice for projects to make while travelling, watching TV or in preparation for busy gift giving seasons.
The hat is sized in eight versions including 4 different crown sizes each with a smaller tapered version and a roomier straight sided one. from 31 cm (12”) small baby to 61 cm (24”) large adult head.
This is a lovely, comfortable winter hat, sized child to adult, in eye-catching V stitch and cosy wool or similar aran/worsted yarn. The ribbing keeps the hat snugly fitted and two crown fit options ensure a comfortable fit. The flexibility of the V stitch makes the hat easy to wear and even share!
It's a very flexible pattern too; you can with tips to adjust the size and style included so you can get it just right to suit your face shape, hairstyle and your personal taste or the wearer's, of course, if its a gift!
I had so much fun making this. The rounds worked up so quickly and the soft wool-alpaca blend yarn felt good to work with. Seeing my sons' happy grins when they first tried on their hats was the best moment though. They have since made such great use of them and I love the fact that the hats can be scrunched up in their schoolbags and don't look scruffy when they are pulled out. Then I had the excitement of waiting for the testers' photos to be sent to me (and now I'm waiting to see your version!)
Speaking of testers, just look at the marvellous versions they created! I was so thrilled each time I saw a new version in progress or complete. Their yarn choices were lovely and their feedback really helped to make the pattern a lot better than it was when they were given their copy. Thank you testers; you are all amazing and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!
Tester feedback suggests that this pattern is well suited to a newish crocheter due to it’s simple nature and I have included a helpful schematic of the two shapes to help you choose the best fit for your head, plus some guidance if you want to customise your hat a little. As it's a speedy make, its also a great market item for professional crochet sellers (credit the designer when selling your makes please!).
