A few months ago I visited a yarn store in Amsterdam, and while I was there I discovered the knitted brioche stitch and fell head over heels! But because I’m not a knitter I knew it would be beyond me, so set about coming up with a crochet version.
I spent some time experimenting and I managed to come up with a stitch that I like. I decided for the initial project I would make a hat for my daughter and I knew which yarn would be perfect.
A couple of months ago, Scheepjes released a brand new “squeak-free” acrylic yarn called Colour Crafter. There are an amazing 63, that’s right – sixty three – colours, all named for cities in the Netherlands. 
To make my daughter’s hat, I’m using colours from two cool cities – Breda (orange) and Apeldoorn (hot pink). 
I also have two more colours, to make a more wintry manly version for my husband; Emmen (green) and Kampen (brown).
I just love the labels too, but I’m a total sucker for anything rainbow.
I was busy trying to take pics of these yarn to share with you, but I kept being interrupted by my fluffy little picture pooper! 
So because I was laughing so hard I only managed to take a couple of pics (that weren’t blurry) before I got started. Here’s where I’m at: 
Aren’t Apeldoorn and Breda great together? Seriously bright!
ETA: you can find the pattern for this project HERE.
You can pick up the yarn at Scheepjes retailers all over the Benelux, or internationally from Deramores, Wool Warehouse, and very soon (if not already) at Paradise Fibers in North America!
