Here we go, it’s the pattern for the Camel Stitch hat that I’ve been sharing over the last few weeks.
I used the lovely Scheepjes Colour Crafter premium acrylic, which makes a wonderful hat. It’s soft, warm, hard wearing and comes in about a million colours.
Materials
Scheepjes Colour Crafter, 1 ball of lilac – 1082 Zwolle (colour 1)
Scheepjes Colour Crafter, 1 ball of neon pink – 1257 Hilversum (colour 2)
Large pompom maker (or cardboard rings cut to size)
8mm crochet hook
You’ll need to be able to get the yarn for this of course. Depending on where you live there is a stockist for you.
In the Benelux, check this enormous list here. Wool Warehouse* ships all over the planet. In the US Deramores* and Paradise Fibers also have you covered and in South Africa go to my friends at Be Inspired.
