Crochet Hat
This beanie is easy to make in a rainy and humid afternoon while watching your favourite series on the tele.
For the most part it has just been too hot to crochet with wool but I found this brand to be light and soft… see my tiny video to see just how lovely it drapes. I love the tweed texture… and of course I have to confess that I purchased the wool before I had a project in mind.
But I found a fun pattern with just enough stitch counting to keep me interested and I am looking forward to wearing this when this lovely endless summer has been well and truly enjoyed and we head into autumn.
