The Douglas Crochet Hat Free Pattern is a great way to experiment with ombre striping and create a unique and eye-catching accessory. It’s also a fun and relaxing project that is perfect for both beginner and experienced crocheters alike. And since it’s worked in the round, there’s no need to worry about seaming or finishing – just weave in any loose ends and you’re ready to wear your new hat!

It’s that time of year again! Time for the 3rd annual KT and the Squid Crochet-a-Long! In 2015 I came up with this idea of a garment Crochet-a-Long. The goal was to guide crocheters or many skill levels through a garment that was not only easy to make but easy to wear. I’m still in shock when I look at how many of you have made these sweaters!
The most amazing part is reading what you’ve you said about the process. Yes, several of you ended up making a garment for the first time but I can’t tell you how many people have told me how much more it’s meant to them. One person in particular let me know how one CAL helped her heal after loosing her mother. It got me thinking about my love for crochet and the amazing healing power it has. A few months ago I asked members of my Facebook group to pick ONE word to describe how they feel when they crochet. Then, I took the words and made this graphic.
This little word cloud makes me so happy and there’s not one word on there that I don’t feel when I crochet. Don’t you agree!? Overall when I crochet I feel love and that brings me to my inspiration for this year’s design. Love. Like in past years I wanted to design something that was simple, easy to make and a great fit. This is all you can see for now but I promise it wont disappoint!
I will tell you it’s a pullover and you’ll LOVE that there is no seaming!!
This year the pattern will be available for purchase only BUT with the pattern you also get a bonus PDF to serve as a step-by-step tutorial as well as access to my exclusive group where I’ll be to help if needed.
Introducing my latest design, the Topelt Shawl!
This elegant shawl was designed for Yarnbox’s February 2017 Classic Box. The construction is simple and a great intro to working short rows. First, the trim is made then the body of the shawl is added by working in short rows.
