Altay hat - Crochet pattern PDF

Description

ETA: This design will be published in the book "1000 fabulous knit and crochet hats" by Annie Modesitt, and was selected among the 10 top hats (see http://1000fabulousknithats.com/)

I have a current fascination for the Granny square, can you tell ? ;-)

* Second installment of my “around the granny square”, this pattern features an unusual and fun construction.

* Worked around a “granny triangle”, it works up very quickly and is very easily adjustable to fit everybody’s head size.

* A very quick and fun project, with step by step photos and instructions.

*Optional earflaps can be added. Or go “sans-earflaps” for a city hat.

* Makes great gifts ! Great stash-buster pattern !!

* Instructions are written for 2 weights of yarn,

* worsted weight (such as Kureyon) and a 5 mm hook
* OR aran/bulky weight (such as Fashion Trend/ Silenzio) and a 6 mm hook

* Notes are added on how to customize super easily the instructions to adapt this pattern to virtually ANY yarn.
To me, it’s an ideal pattern to use with handspun yarn !! :-)

* Everybody who saw this hat around me so far loved it. My friend asked for one of my samples, and the daycare ladies asked for some too..

*I hope your hats will be just as successfull ! No chances of ever seeing similar ones around you...

Oh, one last thing: did I mention they’re FAST to make ?!! One of my testers made hers in 2 hours… :-D
